5.00It is more than food. It includes history of cultures and cuisines and their blending in Sicily. Alessandro was engaging, humorous, an excellent teacher, and most importantly an advocate for Sicily. While I wasn’t brave enough to try all foods, the ones I did were delicious. Definitely recommend this to everyone all ages.
Super!!

5.00This tour with Streaty was better than I would have imagined. It was my first street food tour and I would certainly do this again with this provider. Our guide was knowledgeable and witty. She was professional and ready to provide the background to what we were trying and why. Ample food portions. The company also accommodated my dietary requirements and were very transparent with this.
