5.00We met Gisela at our meeting point as instructed. We couldn't have been more blessed with our guide. Never met a guide so gracious, articulate, knowledgeable, spontaneous, charismatic and full of life and love for what she does. She had us tried so many things and for each bite she provided a complete encyclopedia of information. She adjusted the walk as experiences opened up to new adventures. What a natural! Thank you for the memories. Note: try not to eat much before heading to this tour.
Great Tour

5.00From start to finish, Giuseppe was absolutely fantastic. We would highly recommend him to anybody who wants to have the flavor of Sicily. But also learning a lot about Sicilian history and the overall culture.
A slow process to taste 5 things 1 beer and 1 wine included

3.003 hour tour that could have been done in 2 Gisella was very friendly and personable with a knowledge of interesting facts but I didn’t think the tour was value for money.
Great Tour!
