“first day in Sicily was a food tour with Kate, and it completely changed how we experienced the island. She's warm, genuinely friendly, and makes you feel like you're exploring with a close friend. Her passion for Palermo is contagious – you can't help but be excited about everything she shows you. This wasn't just about tasting amazing food. Kate helped us understand the city's soul and made us feel truly welcome. By the end of the tour, we didn't feel like tourists anymore. If you're visiting Sicily, do this tour.

“This was a great trip all around. Lorenzo was a fantastic guide and provided great information and warm and friendly demeanor. The vistas at Etna were fantastic as was learning about eruptions , the fertile soil and more. The wine at the winery was really lovely and healthy pours—more like a flight! The food accompaniment was delicious and hearty so come hungry. One note for the company was that I was staying in an area closed to vehicles for hire so I wasn’t actually going to be picked up right at the hotel. It was still close and no problem; Lorenzo got us all sorted.”
