Wonderful experience

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a fabulous tour. Letizia is extremely knowledgable about Sicilian cuisine and products and passionate about the subject. She has an easy manner that enables her share her assign and experience with participants. So glad we did this tour and would absolutely recommend it.

Amazing tour with Letizia

Published on Oct, 2024

We spent a wonderful morning with Letizia exploring the local food market and trying many Sicilian foods at local eateries. Letizia is incredibly knowledgeable and very fun to spend time with. She even bought us an enormous sandwich for our lunch!

Food, food, food.

Letizia was a wonderful host; very knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. We certainly didn’t go hungry with many stops to sample the local produce. Don’t eat before the tour! Thoroughly recommend!

Fell in love with Ortigia!

Published on May, 2024

Where do I start? We had the absolute best time with Letizia as our tour guide. Her knowledge of Ortigia along with the food helped us fall in love with this beautiful area of Sicily. She took us to the local market, we ate some of the most delicious street food, pastries, and tried some beautiful wines. We even arrived at a bakery just in time for us to try cookies hot from the oven!! We learned so much from Letizia that we decided to stay an extra day just to explore on our own. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again on our next trip to Syracuse.

This tour was a highlight of our stay in Ortigia!

Published on Apr, 2024

Letizia combines vast knowledge of Ortigia's (and Sicily's) history, food, and culture into a wonderful, satisfying tour. My 23 year-old daughter is an adventurous eater, and Letizia made sure she was able to try many local delicacies. The tour was well-organized and paced perfectly. Don't eat before this tour...you'll want to be hungry for the many delightful treats Letizia arranges for you to experience!
