Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a good tour in Taramino wit Asya. Asya it extremely well versed in the history of Taramino. All the food stops were excellent. We had some of the best cannolis I’ve ever had. We had excellent gelato. The rice balls we had we both made up of tomato and pistachio. The final stop was ours, calamari, eggplant, Parm, and a bottle of wine He certainly got your moneys worth out of the store. She was very pleasant and did an excellent job."
"My family and I had a wonderful food tour in Taormina with Christopher and his wife Barbara! They took us to their favorite places, told great stories, shared local pro tips to help us enjoy our vacation, and we're just warm, genuine people! They made our first day very welcoming and fun! Our Sicilian adventure started out perfectly. Highly recommend this tour and these locals. Thank you Christopher and Barbara!"

"We had a great time with Asya! Smart and super sweet. We had a large group of 11 and one with food allergies and she accommodated perfectly which is hard to do but did it with ease. She engaged the whole group and taught us a lot about the city while eating amazing food along the way. Come hungry :)"
"Asya was a great guide, showing us around the town while sampling great food and drinks! The personal connections she had with the restaurants and bakeries made the tour even better - especially the cannoli magician Roberto! She was super fun, and her knowledge of Sicilian history is amazing. She had great recommendations for places to visit, restaurants to try, and overly tourist places to stay away from, Thanks Asya! "
"Our dinner with Gloria was absolutely lovely from beginning to the end. The food and drink were authentic to the region, and taste and presentation were exceptional. Our conversation with Gloria and Nino was comfortable, like being with old friends. I highly recommend this experience during your travels to Catania!"
"Gloria and her husband were such gracious hosts. Dinner was delicious and plenty of it. The setting for dinner was lovely. I would recommend to anyone that would like to experience Sicilian food to definitely do this."
"Thank you Gloria for the very special meal! This was a terrific experience Gloria spent so much time explaining her craft. She is amazing cook and a terrific teacher. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a truly special and custom experience!"
"We wanted to experience authentic Sicilian cuisine, and got a whole lot more. Gloria and Antonio were exceptional hosts, warm and welcoming right from the start We enjoyed an array of delectable dishes and lovely, easy-flowing conversation. One of the highlights of our trip."
"Gloria and Antonio looked after us so well. We arrived to a home full of local delights to try and then proceeded on to a series of small dishes with matching wine. This is certainly one to try. Hospitality was amazing. "
