Great guide, great food, great wine. - My guide was wonderful. I am so sorry that I am terrible at names and forgot hers. She was memorable in her quality buy my memory for names is terrible. She explained a lot about Split, the Palace, the food and the wine. Great conversation and great knowledge. The food was fabulous. Almost too much :). And the same with the wine. Great and a lot. We went to three great restaurants and a gelateria. I would go back again.

A Wonderful Taste of Split - Our guide was Olga and she was amazing. She is clearly an experienced cook as she shared many insights on food preparation and easily answered every question asked. Olga was also friendly and patient, as she herded our group from one tasting to another. Make sure you are hungry when you go on this tour as there is a lot of food to sample. We tried a variety of local foods to include a nice seafood lunch and some great gelato. Coupled with Olga's commentary, we left feeling like we had experienced a wonderful taste of Split.
