Top Sicily Art Classes

Our guide answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, and we had the chance to manipulate the strings ourselves. The backstage experience really added to an appreciation of the show and the talent and artistry of the craft.

We really enjoyed going behind the scenes of the puppet show! Paolo shared really interesting information about the puppets, being a puppet actor and the physicality needed to work the puppets. They were much heavier than I would have thought! I definitely had a different perspective watching the show afterward. I would definitely recommend this for all ages!

The absolute highlight of our week in Palermo! We booked the night tour with prosecco as a family of four and it was worth every cent.Seeing the city lit up from the CruiserCar is a completely different experience from walking around during the day. You cover so much more ground, the open car means you feel the city around you, and everything looks magical at night. We saw corners of Palermo we would never have found on our own.A huge thank you to our guide and our driver. You two absolutely made the evening. So warm, so welcoming, full of stories and knowledge about the city, and genuinely fun to be around. You could tell you love what you do, and that made all the difference.The prosecco was a lovely touch and the three hours flew by. If you are visiting Palermo, do this. Grazie mille for a truly unforgettable night!

Wonderful experience. Alessio and Pietro were great hosts and very informative. I highly recommend it.

Pelin’s Artisan tour added great value to our brief stay in Ortigia. All of her shopping and dining recommendations were spot on. A friendly and generous guide.

To meet and work with Pelin is to allow yourself to be immersed into a way of life unique to Ortigia and the surrounding area. The experience you will have with Pelin goes beyond the typical guide engagement. In addition to Pelin's Ortigia Artisan Tour, we worked with Pelin to develop a week long itinerary. It is important to Pelin that she get a sense of who you are so that she can mold an experience that resonates with you. Pelin will create an itinerary that will enchant, educate and enthrall you. You will discover the soul of Ortigia, meet her artisan friends, explore nearby villages that you would not find or appreciate necessarily on your own, visit family run oil and wine producers whose products will exceed your expectations. Most importantly, you will have a friend in Pelin, someone you can get to know and who genuinely wants to get to know you. Dear Pelin, thank you for your transformative experience. We cherish our new friendship. Until next time, Paula and Tom

The Capri photoshoot was a great experience. Lorenzo is really nice and good fun and knows all the best photo spots on the island. The photos are very artistic and memorable.

Once my sister and I started planning our trip to Sicily, I knew that I would take this pottery class no matter what else happened. It was better than I could have ever imagined and truly a one-of-a-kind experience for me! You are invited into the award-winning artist's studio by herself and her husband. She describes her process of creating works of art including different influences that affect all of us when putting our passion into something we are creating. We made Baroque masks out of clay which she will fire and glaze and ship to you. I consider myself more of a crafter than an artist and she guided me through the whole process. There was also a translator so we could chat during sculpting! Her other art is for sale as well and I bought a couple of espresso cups and saucers. If you want a one-of-a-kind souvenir and experience with amazing people then I recommend this trip 100%. Thank you very much for showing me such a wonderful experience!

This was truly a very nice experience with very kind people. Gloria and her husband took the time to explain the whole process of making ceramic. They let us the time to try to make something nice. They helped out where needed so we would create very nice masks.Even our teenagers were very enthusiastic about the workshop. If you want to do something out of the box and creative this is the one. I would recommend it 100%

Great experience, Mimi and its stuff create a fantastic feeling between the photographers, the places, the flavors and the sky of Sicily!

Absolutely perfect tour with excellent photographers and guides. All inclusive indeed. Great learning while visiting amazing places.

Beautiful experience. Small but very cute theater. We were enchanted throughout the entire performance. Very talented actors and puppets just waiting to be discovered. Our son's curious little eyes wanted the show to never end. Afterward, he forced us to review Orlando Furioso because he wanted to hear the whole story again. The guys from the company also introduced the story in English. It was a nice way to start our vacation in Syracuse.

Good traditional family outing

Unique & fun way to explore Palermo. Guide was friendly & informative. Snack, music & prosecco. No better way to spend an evening. Highly recommend!

Wonderful way to see the city of Palermo. Our guide Alessio was knowledge and took us to see all the important monuments and sights. Even recommended a fantastic place for granita and brioche! Absolutely delicious! The cruiser car is the best! The car is fully equipped for a fun night out on the town.

Pelin has a passion for art and a passion for Ortigia. I loved getting to spend time with her and learning through her eyes. The tour was so much more than we expected and we have done artisian tours in other cities. It was wonderful to meet the artists and learn about their work. I have since followed Pelin social media and her drive to preserve these arts that could be lost with future generations and educate is inspiring. We toured with our thirteen year old daughter who really enjoyed and appreciated the pieces we got to see and enjoyed speaking with Pelin also.
