    Great blend of history and culture
    Great afternoon and early evening tour. Leitzia has a fun and energetic personality. She blends her knowledge of history with interesting cultural anecdotes. Her interest in food and cooking also finds a way into the conversation. Very good tour.

    Shouldn’t be missed!
    So glad we did this tour! Despite having an interest in history I had limited awareness of the significance of Syracuse to Greek, Roman and Carthaginian history. This tour was absolutely fascinating and Letizia brought the ancient history of the area to life. She is very knowledgable and very engaging. Four hours passed in a flash! I would definitely recommend this tour!

    Amazing tour with Letizia
    We spent a wonderful morning with Letizia exploring the local food market and trying many Sicilian foods at local eateries. Letizia is incredibly knowledgeable and very fun to spend time with. She even bought us an enormous sandwich for our lunch!

    Food, food, food.
    Letizia was a wonderful host; very knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. We certainly didn’t go hungry with many stops to sample the local produce. Don’t eat before the tour! Thoroughly recommend!

    Very informative and worthwhile!
    Our Syracuse/ Ortigia tour with Letizia was excellent. We toured the archelogical park, Temple of Apollo, cathedral and the Arethusa Spring. Loved the history and walking the beautiful town. Thank you, Letizia!

    Fell in love with Ortigia!
    Where do I start? We had the absolute best time with Letizia as our tour guide. Her knowledge of Ortigia along with the food helped us fall in love with this beautiful area of Sicily. She took us to the local market, we ate some of the most delicious street food, pastries, and tried some beautiful wines. We even arrived at a bakery just in time for us to try cookies hot from the oven!! We learned so much from Letizia that we decided to stay an extra day just to explore on our own. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour again on our next trip to Syracuse.

    Great Tour of Neapolis and Ortigia on a Beautiful Day
    Letizia provided a 3 hour tour that covered the large The Parco Archeologico della Neapolis and the historical sites on Ortigia. Her English was excellent and provided very interesting history of both areas. We also learned a lot of the vegetation of Sicily which was neat! It would have been helpful if she forewarned us that we would need to get our own transportation from Neapolis to Ortigia. The price point for 4 people for the services rendered was expensive!

    Wonderful Tour Guide
    Wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We saw all the highlights of the park and the island of Ortigia. Wish we could have also taken Letizia food tour, next time!!!!

    This tour was a highlight of our stay in Ortigia!
    Letizia combines vast knowledge of Ortigia's (and Sicily's) history, food, and culture into a wonderful, satisfying tour. My 23 year-old daughter is an adventurous eater, and Letizia made sure she was able to try many local delicacies. The tour was well-organized and paced perfectly. Don't eat before this tour...you'll want to be hungry for the many delightful treats Letizia arranges for you to experience!

    What a great experience!
    We had the most fabulous experience with Letizia! She was so kind and generous! The tour was informative and we ate so many delicious things! Really grateful Letizia accommodated us being vegetarian. Letizia also gave us great recommendations for things to do and places to eat for the days we were in Sicily. Thanks for an awesome experience! We highly recommend your tour!

    A “must do” tour when visiting Ortigia
    My wife and I did the half day tour with Letizia of the Parco archeologico della Neapolis and Ortigia. We had done the park on our own on a previous visit and learned nothing. With our tour guide Letizia, it made all the difference in the world. She was both knowledgeable and very personable in explaining the history of the park as well as the history of Sicily to our small group of 6. She also included stories of her personal history with the park which added a whole new dimension to the experience. The tour of Ortigia was just as memorable. We were fortunate to have lunch with her and others in the group before her next tour. It was just a very memorable day and the reason why we come to Sicily, to learn its history, try new foods, drink the wine, and make new friends. Grazie mille Letizia!
