Great Food Tour with history of Ortigia - Maria is simply the best! We had a great experience and she was amazing! Different typical sicily food and location - all by local people. She also knows a lot of Siracusa and Ortigia. She did not only a Food Tasting Tour - no, it was also a Tour with history information.

A perfect way to see and experience Ortigia - This tour is a perfect way to experience Ortigia. Our guide, Maria, was so passionate and knowledgable about the food and culture. You get to see areas of the city you probably wouldn’t without a local guide. Maria took us to some excellent spots to try the local cuisine. All of the food and drink was top class. We couldn’t believe the value for money we were getting.

A must do if you are in Ortigia - Maria our guide was absolutely amazing. She was first class! She was extremely knowledgeable about the food, drink culture and traditions in Sicily. We had the best time with her. We felt like we were her special friends for the day as there were only two of us. The tour was made very special for us thanks to Maria. She was such a lovely person and had such an endearing personality. She gave us some excellent recommendations too. This for us was the highlight of our visit to Ortigia. Thank you Maria, for making our trip so special and memorable. We'd highly recommend doing this tour with Maria as it's a great way to learn about the traditions and customs of Ortigia. We tried some amazing food which was a speciality of Ortigia. Maria took us to the best places and the food was delicious. Maria was simply the best tour guide we've ever had. Thank you so much Maria you were wonderful!

A highly enjoyable, relaxing tour indulging both your palate and your mind.. - My wife and me had an amazing food tour with a friendly, warm-hearted, really knowledgeable guide, Maria. Being a proud woman of Sirakuze she wanted to present as much on her (not only food ) culture as possible. We learnt reallly a lot not only about Sicilian food but about the local people, culture, customs etc. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is keen to go a little bit beyond the surface.

A wonderful evening - I booked this tour last minute and was so happy I did. Maria was a wonderful host who not only took us to some of the best food places, but also gave us a great insight into what it is like to live in Ortigia. I loved that there was lots of time and walking between the food stops so we could digest both the food and the beautiful atmosphere of Ortigia. Overall, I highly recommend this tour!
