Fun food tour with a local - Fun food tour with our guide Maria. She did a great job sharing the old town with us. She explained the different food traditions and we had a wonderful assortment of street food. No one went home hungry.

Best food tour ever - What an enjoyable walk through Ortigia with Giuseppe Giammanco. Once again vacationing off season pays off. We had Giuseppe all to ourselves. His knowledge of Sicily, Ortigia its people and food is very extensive. I don’t need to eat again for a few days. You don’t go away from this tour hungry. And with more facts about this beautiful country.

Wonderful walk and food in Ortigia - Maria was an outstanding tour guide. Her love of Ortigia was so apparent. She taught us so much about the culture, people and food of her city. Maria showed us parts of the city we would have never found on our own. She chose only the best and authentic restaurants for our tastings. This tour exceeded our expectations.

A great tour, even on a rainy and windy day - Maria was an amazing guide—knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and flexible when bad weather meant a few stops on the tour were closed. We still managed to have a delicious and educational afternoon!

A wonderful tour lead by Maria! - Maria Grazia was a fantastic tour guide who led my wife and I through such scenic streets of Ortigia noting the history and culture surrounding us. She showed us some wonderful local fare, and braved it all through a chilly and wet day during January—the arancino truly felt earned, and was so fun to soldier through the storm. Thanks!

Great experience!! - A wonderful experience!! We tried many typical foods / street food and Giuseppe told so much about the cuisine and also the history of Ortigia. He is very good, he knows a lot and he knows the best places in the city. We recommend it!!

Great tour guide - knowledge, friendly and accommodating. - Giuseppe, obviously well-known among the shops in Ortigia, led us on a tasty tour of his domain. He imparted knowledge of the food customs, both historic and current, of the island and area. More than this, he sprinkled in vignettes about each successive culture and how they built upon the last culture, both in the architecture of the island and the gustatory delights served up during our tour. Highly, highly recommend!!!
