Food + City Tour-tour in Ortigia met een geautoriseerde gids

Walking, talking, eating. Repeat 3x. Great way to explore Ortigia. Tip: skip breakfast, you will need all the appetite you can bring.

Whenever I go to a new place one important thing I love to learn about is the food. Food brings people together and food tells you a lot about an areas culture and traditions. Today I enjoyed a wonderful food and city tour with Letizia. We went to some local places tasting everything from pastries, panini’s and of course meats and cheeses. I loved the trip to the local market and I appreciated Letizia and her knowledge of the food we tasted, how it’s made and how it came to be part of the local delicacy. If you are in the area of Ortigia/Siracusa I highly recommend booking this tour. You will leave with a bit of history and a happy tummy!

If you’re looking for a guide to give insights to and information about the region as you savor its cuisine, Giuseppe is the right guy! He’s friendly, knowledgeable and engaging and provided a wonderful and interesting tour of Ortigia with delicious food along the way. We met at a caffe and he gave us an overview of Sicily and Siracusa while we sampled some arancini and other local snacks. He took us to the market and several other other spots where we enjoyed a variety of food. As we walked through the streets, he pointed out sights of historical significance (such as Templo Apollo), cultural significance (e.g., the former Jewish quarter) and personal significance (e.g., where his family lived decades ago) - and spoke eloquently about each. Giuseppe was also a great resource for restaurants and places to visit throughout Sicily. My only regret is that we didn’t also book a cooking experience with him!
