Sebastiano made this tour memorable - It was only a friend and myself, and we were so fortunate to have Sebastiano as our guide. It could have just been sampling food and wine and chatting for a couple minutes about what the food and wine were all about. But Sebastiano was a wealth of knowledge about Sicily and Syracuse, and we had a simply fabulous time learning about the history, the culture, even the origin of streets and buildings. He was not only highly knowledgeable, but also extremely personable and accessible for all our questions and thoughts. The sampling of foods were very nice as were the wines. But it truly was walking the streets and learning about the history that made it a most memorable experience. Sebastiano is to be commended, and he truly made the entire tour enjoyable, and memorable.

Highly recommend - We had the most wonderful afternoon being shown around Ortigia by Sebi, the perfect host. As well as explaining the cuisine & culture we heard about the lifestyle and history of this exceptional island. We had 3 stops in total with a lot of food & delicious local wines. If you are coming to Syracuse, and have a few free hours, it’s a huge treat to book this tour!!

Great Experience; Highly Recommended - We were looking forward to this experience as we booked it on-line from Canada - And it did not disappoint. The tour was well organized and Iolanda at the tour office in Syracuse was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The tour guide Pietro was equally engaged and full of information and very friendly. The tour took us through the market in Ortigya and the food stops that were organized gave us the opportunity of sampling great local food. This tour was a very enjoyable experience for us - we were a group of six, and everyone had a good time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing for an authentic Sicilian experience of food and wine !!

Great street food tour with Iolanda! - We had a great time on this food tour! Not only did we enjoy all the food we tasted but we loved getting to know Iolanda and learning more about life in Ortigia. She is a lovely person, very easy to talk with interesting answers to all of our questions. We found the street food tour to be a real treat!

Food and history in Siracusa - This is a walking tour of Ortygia with three stops for food. The first is antipasto in the town market, which was excellent. The second was rather repetitive and not as good. The final stop, for sweets, was also excellent. Our guide did a good job of pointing out sights along with the food.
