The best food tour with a local Foodie! - Guise was the best!! Thank you for the best, most informative tour, you’re tour was excellent!! Clearly a lot of thought & research has gone into this tour, it felt personal and sourced from the heart of a true foodie! The meeting point was easy to find, first food was delicious, that set the pace for the next few hours. Markets, local treasures along with history of the area and family cooking secrets were all included. Guise’s local knowledge and enthusiasm was second to none, it was like walking around with local royalty, Guise knows a lot of the local traders and is well respected. It was an absolute pleasure to cut through the chaos of the various markets with somebody that had such local knowledge of food and passion. Arrive hungry there’s lots to try!! Definitely will go with this company again in different locations.

Absolutely, Without Reservation, Go on this tour with Giusi! - I absolutely recommend this tour with Giusi! My husband and I spent a week in Rome with extended family and then a week in Sicily. Thinking back on the entire visit, this food tour stands out and still makes me smile. Giusi takes you to these fantastic out of the way places, that we would never have found on our own. The food in the market was incredible. I restaurants we visited were authentic and served wonderfully tasty foods. Giusi is an incredible person to spend the day with. She is a local and full of interesting historical facts and fun stories. Wow. Wow. Wow. So happy just thinking about it. Go!

Must do food tour! - Amazing history of the city and food all in one. The food was delicious and it felt like we ate at authentic local places and not tourist traps. We also were able to try different Sicilian drinks along with our food that were outstanding! Our guide (Giusi) was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour fun. It was like we were shown around town by our local friend.

Can't imagine a better street food tour - So glad we did this tour. Innocenzo was an amazing guide; friendly, knowledgeable and completely in his element as he walked and talked with the food stall owners and market sellers, all old friends of his. We were greeted warmly and treated well at every stop along the tour, all of which featured delicious and unique delicacies. We learned so much about Sicilian history and culture along the way - all in all it was an unforgettable morning.
