Awesome guide and delicious authentic Sicilian food. - We arrived late from our cruise ship, but Giuseppe, our guide, was so gracious to wait for us. There were only the 2 of us, and Giuseppe treated us like royalty. He shared his passion for the city and its local food and culture. The pastries were heavenly, and very large portions. The cannoli is the best in the world! If you like sweets, you can’t go wrong with this tour. I highly recommend it.

Tasty but filling - We experienced a taste of Sicilys finest. Although after the first tasting out of 4, we began to feel the need for sharing which wouldn’t justify the cost overall because we were not getting the full portion.

Good walking tour for patisseries & deserts with lots of local info - Dora, our guide, was friendly & fun to listen to with lots of local knowledge. Me & my friend were the only 2 on the tour so it was easy to ask questions & it was interesting to hear the background to the amazing desserts. We were very full by the end as we enjoyed 4 different desserts, sharing 2 & another was light granita (sorbet)! I think smaller taster bites of a greater selection & maybe more time between each venue for tasting would have been nicer.
