We learned about the salt process and saw lots of nice scenery. We even saw flamingos which was incredible! Alessio is friendly and enthusiastic, also quite helpful with our transportation needs! Would definitely recommend this excursion.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 136 reviews · from $23Best value

Two-hour Palermo walk with a local guide: Teatro Massimo, the Capo market and street food, plus the Arab-Norman Cathedral.

“Maurizio truly loved his job, and you can feel. The tour lasted 3 hours and it was impossible not to pay attention. He told us a lot of amazing details as about the city’s history and present. He is not a dry tour guide type - he shared his opinion about the city’s politics and taught me how to haggle with local merchants properly.”

There were only 3 of us on the boat which was fabulous and our guide Lucia (hope I got that right) spoke fabulous English and took the time to explain and answer questions. Captain Carmello was brilliant knew the sea and his boat inside and out. Happy to recommend this tour.”

9.Arancino Making – 2 Hours to Learn how made Real Sicilian Arancino!

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 33 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $96

Chef-led Taormina class to make real Sicilian arancini step by step, then eat your batch with wine and vegan options.

“I took my mom on this tour as a birthday present. I saw another review say they were accommodating for food allergies. My mom is severely allergic to dairy, so arancini out on the street is out of the question. This tour was FULLY accommodating to her dairy allergy, and gave us a fully vegan option. In the rice, you must mix Parmesan cheese. They made us pistachio flour instead. When we were filling our arancini, the guide (Luca) brought mushrooms and tomatoes from the kitchen just for her to have something special. All 9 of us in the class made 3+ arancini, where I thought we’d be permitted to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 27 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $204

2-hour tuk-tuk tour of Syracuse and Ortigia with pickup, English narration, and quick stops at ancient temples, cathedrals, and sanctuaries.

“Unfortunately, our experience with the Syracuse and Ortygia Tuk-Tuk 2-Hour Tour was disappointing. The guide did not speak English at all and tried using Google Translate, but the audio kept breaking up every 30 seconds, making it very difficult to follow. The itinerary was not completed as promised, and when we asked about visiting the Jewish Quarter (which was included in the tour description), the guide suggested we pay for an extra hour. This was not what we expected and felt unprofessional.”
