Fascinating insights, fabulous food! - This tour was really excellent. We met Roberto at the Cathedral steps in Ortigia and he gave us a fascinating introduction to the town's history and culture. The tour was tailored to suit the clients and we found him an extremely good communicator. We heard interesting and illuminating stories about the various eras of the town, visited the Jewish Quarter and looked inside the caves and tunnels where the people sheltered doing WWII bombing. Then Roberto took us to the market which was full of wonderful sights, sounds and scents. We had a delicious cafe lunch tasting some of the specialities Roberto selected for us near the sea wall amongst a crowd of locals and visitors. This was followed by coffee, cannoli and gelato. It was a fabulous 3 hours and a highlight of our visit to Syracuse.

Do this tour! - Highly recommend Roberto! He has lived his entire life in Siracusa and is well-versed in the history, nooks and crannies of the location, and current culture. Along the tour many of the locals said hello. Lots of history on this street food tour. Ended at the market where we had lunch at a local sandwich shop that makes their own mozzarella, and cures their own meat. It was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Canceled at the last minute - They never showed up! I had to call several times to see where the tour guide was. When someone finally answered, they told me the tour was canceled. This company is not reliable
