The Authentic Ortigia Street Food Tour by Hidden Syracuse

Best walking tour
Everything you want from a food walking tour! I highly recommend Dario’s tour to orient yourself in Ortigia, learn about the area annd history and had some excellent food. I appreciated the itinerary and pace and that we got to know the winding and picturesque streets. A real highlight was visiting the market. We had drinks, snacks, lunch and dessert. Dario created a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Good value.

Delightful food tour experience
I went on Giuseppe’s food tour on my first day in Ortigia, and it was the perfect way to start my stay. I was travelling solo, and both Giuseppe and the rest of the group were incredibly welcoming, which made it such an enjoyable experience from the start.It was essentially an eating tour of the island, but also gave us the inside track on all the best places to eat and drink during the rest of our trip. We tried an amazing range of Sicilian food, including cheeses, meats, Sicilian seafood, wine, cannoli, granita and arancini, with plenty of extras of anything if we could fit them in!Giuseppe is incredibly passionate about food, and it shows in everything he does. He’s extremely knowledgeable, engaging and kind, and happily answered all of our questions. He seemed to know absolutely everyone. At times it genuinely felt like we were on a tour with a local celebrity!What really stood out was how generous he was with both his time and his knowledge. He never made us feel rushed and genuinely wanted to make sure we were having a great time. You could tell that sharing his love of Ortigia, its food and its people was something he genuinely enjoyed.I’d highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay, not only for the food, but for all the tips and local insight that you can then use for the rest of your time in Ortigia. If you’re travelling solo, it’s also a particularly lovely way to meet people and feel welcomed straight away.

Beautiful day in Ortigia with Maria
We loved our tour today with Maria, she was so kind and had a great depth of knowledge about Ortigia and the local cuisine here - also a pleasure to see how much the vendors and restaurants know and love her. We really enjoyed eating fresh and seasonal food, getting to see behind the scenes of food preparation and production and learning about details of Ortigia you wouldn’t know without Maria’s guidance. Grazie mille Maria!

Self-guided tour in Ortigia Island and Syracuse.
It was the first time I hired a guide to do it at my own pace and it was a very pleasant experience. You have all the documentation to do the tour at your own pace and without connection problems and it is super well explained. I will hire it again for other visits I make in other cities. I recommend it 100%. Thank you.

Do not even hesitate to take this tour- it was AMAZING ! Alessandro definitely takes pride he what he does and it shows. From our initial booking, with me sending him a barrage of texts with questions ( via WhatsApp ) he ALWAYS responded in a timely fashion. In addition coordinating our pick up times and drop off with the ships schedule was effortless. The tour itself was so informational and his knowledge down to every last detail was fantastic. Got to see and do a lot of things on this magnificent tour !

A different view of Etna!!!
A different view of Etna, very broad, even more so if you enjoy the world of wine, since it has a stop full of surprises. Our view of the volcanoes is now different, more complete. Especially thanks to Alexandro, the head guide. He shares his experiences with passion and makes everything veeeery enjoyable. Recommended without a doubt. We went as a family with our daughters aged 8 and 13.

A wonderful walk in Ortigia.
Dario is authentic. He is Sicilian. He is Ortigian. He is knowledgeable in history, architecture, Italian language dialects, Ortigian society and he coveys it all with great energy and humor. It is a wonderful combination for a tour guide. We felt we were shown the local side of Ortigia, its life, its food scene and its passion. Outstanding! Paul

Great food and walk through Ortigia
Brenda was a great tour guide and brought us to 4 delicious spots in Ortigia. She also taught us about a handful of locations/neighborhoods along the tour, which was an unexpected surprise. She offered dinner and souvenir (food and ceramic) recommendations as well. We had a great time and recommend this tour.

A must-do tour if you love authentic food and great company!
Giuseppe led the BEST food tour of Ortigia! Would highly recommend doing this tour early on in your visit to Ortigia so you have time to return to all the spots he recommends. Highlights include being hand fed fresh cheese at the market and getting to go into the kitchen to see arancini being made. We went back to three of his stops multiple times during our 3 day trip (I seriously wonder if the owners of the ice cream shop worried about us, we basically camped out there for two days, even running into Giuseppe there with his family the night after the tour). He infused interesting cultural history and anecdotes into the tour, and paced it perfectly so there were long enough spaces between food stops so you never felt too full or rushed. We ate a perfect amount of food for the length of the tour and it felt like a great value for the cost. A must-do tour for anyone visiting Ortigia who enjoys authentic food and great company.
