“We always try to do a food tour when we visit somewhere new because it helps to give a sense of a place and it's culture, which is pretty much always deeply connected to the local food. This tour did not disappoint! Salvo was a fantastic guide - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his home city, its history and food. Everything we tasted was delicious, the portions were very good and we left with full tummies and big smiles. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend.”

“A flawless journey through Catania's rich food history. From snacks to dessert, it's a full course of Catanese cuisine. Our guide, Gisela, was deeply versed in Catania's cultural, geological, and culinary history. As a chef herself, she took the time to explain how each dish was prepared. She had a genuine love for Catania and it's culinary delights, and was a skilled and enthusiastic guide.”

“Paolo was an excellent teacher and very friendly. The food was fantastic and we learned some brilliant recipes.”

“My husband and I took this food tour in Palermo and really enjoyed it. Chefs Salvatore and Leidia were fun to be with and taught us a lot. It was well organized. We took a visit to the nearby market and then made arancini, fresh pasta, ragu and cannoli. The 12 students were lovely and from Croatia, Turkey, Scotland, Germany and US. One of our favorite activities in Palermo!”

“Fabulous wines and matching food, the room was beautiful and Gabrielle the host was knowledgeable and friendly highly recommend.”

“We had a fabulous day with Letizia and her family in Ortigia. She met us in the market where she took us on a shopping trip. There she showed us some of the local delicacies and how the many cultures that have been to Sicily in the past, influence its cuisine today. We then went to her lovely home where we picked fresh herbs, and vegetables from her large garden. And then the cooking and eating began! We were given a sample of local cheeses, some made by her father, as well as pistachios and olives. And of course, some Prosecco! She then instructed us in how to prepare a…”

“Great mix of history and good food. Learned a lot about Catania.”

“This was such a fun way to spend an evening in Taormina! Maurizio was funny and informative and we left with very happy bellies!!”

“We had an amazing time on our Palermo Street Food & Market tour with Giusi as our guide. We were very impressed that she had such extensive knowledge about the history and ingredients of the food we were tasting. We did not leave hungry! These were full portions we got to try and it was all delicious! The market was busy and bustling and so fun to experience. Hands down the best tour we booked while in Palermo, highly recommend!”

“What an excellent experience! Cooking with Ettore was so much fun and very educational. He is a professional through and through and also extremely charming. First, we went to the market, where I was able to try out lots of things. Ettore knows all the vendors and had a quick chat with many of them, which was incredibly pleasant. I wanted a seafood menu, and we bought our own. Cooking together was a real highlight! Not to mention the food, it was just so delicious! I would like to thank Ettore for his hospitality, for his good humor, and for sharing his secrets! I will never forget this day and…”

“The cooking experience with Chef Ettore was a blast! We were a group of 6 ladies, all with varied tastes, cooking experiences and expectations. We started with a shopping trip in the Ortigia market tasting olive oil, interacting with vendors and picking up our fresh items to make pomodoro sauce, eggplant parmigiana, homemade pistachio pesto pasta and pasta with seafood. Beautiful rustic, classic dishes in Sicily. Chef thoroughly enjoys sharing his cooking experience, sharing his hints and ideas while keeping our wine glasses topped up. The class was fun, the chef was outstanding and the food delicious!”

“The best experience we have had in 10 weeks Italy touring! I can’t say enough: about Patricia as a chef and a host, about her lovely venue, about the tastes of the food we made. Our cooking evening made me love Palermo and we wait with expectancy to return:). And, I asked to buy her cookbook, so I can bring a piece of this evening home to share with my family! Thank you, Patrizia”

“My wife and I loved buying the fresh ingredients in the market. Cooking with Riccardo felt like a mixture of instruction and cooking with an old friend. Riccardo and Sally are delightful people with a passion for making new friends, and sharing their love of cuisine.”

“Davide was exceptional. Informative, knowledgeable and a great sense of humour. Food and drinks were plentiful, and delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.”
