You'll eat your way through Dubrovnik's history in one afternoon

You walk through Dubrovnik's Old Town with a guide, stopping at a bakery, wine bar, two tavernas, a seafood restaurant, and a dessert shop. You taste eight dishes—burek, cheese and prosciutto, black risotto, fried seafood, macaroni with meat ragu, and regional desserts—paired with local wine. The tour includes all tastings and a digestive, and you're moving the whole time, so wear shoes you can walk in for a couple of hours.

The Experience

You probably think a food tour means stopping at eight restaurants and sitting down for courses. This one doesn't work that way. Instead, you move through the Old Town's backstreets—the ones tourists miss—and eat small, real things at the places locals actually go. It starts at a bakery where someone's making burek in front of you, the kind with meat or cheese folded into filo dough, still warm. From there you're walking, tasting, learning why the city ate what it ate, and by the time you finish you've had eight separate dishes without ever feeling like you sat through a meal.

The stops matter more than the pace. You'll stand at a wine bar with a board of local cheese and prosciutto in one hand and a glass of Dalmatian rosé in the other, and the guide will tell you about the Republic of Ragusa and why this port mattered. Then you move to a taverna for black risotto—the dark, briny kind made with squid ink—paired with a local red wine. Later there's fried seafood from a restaurant steps from the water, and macaroni with meat ragu that tastes nothing like what you'd make at home. The walking is real—comfortable shoes aren't optional—but it's the kind of walking where you're stopping every few minutes, so it doesn't feel like a hike.

The last stop is the one people remember. A dessert spot tucked behind the city walls, run by locals, where you get Dubrovnik's famous bitter orange or lavender and honey ice cream, plus candied figs and almonds. Before you leave, there's a homemade honey herbal digestive—the kind of thing that signals the meal is actually over. The whole tour takes you through eight tastings, and the menu shifts depending on what's available that day and what the restaurants have in stock, so you're never getting the same thing twice if you came back.

What’s included

Your tour includes all eight tastings: freshly baked burek, artisanal cheese and cured prosciutto, fried oysters, black risotto with Dalmatian red wine, fresh fried seafood, macaroni with meat ragu, regional desserts (bitter orange or lavender and honey ice cream, candied figs and almonds), and a homemade honey herbal digestive.
