Brilliant tour and tasting experience - Maria gave us the most amazing time wandering the streets of Ortigia with many food/drink stops and lots of info about the island. She is from there, knew it so well, knew the locals so well, knew where the good places to eat were which we would never have otherwise found. It was a brilliant way to spend our first day in Ortigia and really set us up well for the rest of the stay. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Street food tour with Maria - The street food tour with Maria was very delicious and informative. Always interesting information about Sicily or Ortigia. Definitely recommended. 5 stations = 3 main meals, 1 ice cream, 1 dessert, wine and water (could have had something else) , espresso and finally a delicious schnapps. One tip: don't eat so much before;) we were still well satisfied in the evening.

Brilliant tour with Maria - We loved our walking tour with Maria - she made us feel like family and we found out so much about Sicily, its history and food. It was such good value as there were five stops all with traditional food and including a glass of wine and a lemoncello. It was all at our pace and we took in so many sights along the way. Thank you Maria xxxx

Tasty and informative tour of Syracuse - Maria Grazia is a very dear and open woman who told us a lot about her city, the architecture and of course the delicious food. Five things we tasted, water and once wine I got it. Everything was of selected best quality.The communication went great with English. We had two children of 8 and 12 years with us.
