Vegan Food Tour Ortigia — Local services in Syracuse

What a fantastic food tour! We did the Ortigia Vegan Street Food Tour. It was the very first food tour in YEARS that I was actually full before it was over! Often it is small bites of food and you have to eat a meal after the tour. Not this one. The food was varied and delicious. Because Tania is willing to do small tours, she is open to the input of her clients and asked us - would you rather this or that...about food choices which was amazing. While neither of us are vegan (but very plant leaning) it was so nice not to have to worry about my food (dairy) allergy. I have just moved to Ortigia and this was a great tour to introduce me to several shops and restaurants I will want to frequent. Not only did she talk about the places we went, but she gave helpful tips for other places on the island as well. The best part (as if there could be more) is Tania's personality. She is kind and funny and it is clear all of the businesses really like collaborating with her. Now when I visit those same places, the owners and staff remember me and are welcoming to me and I am sure that is because of Tania! A great introduction to the island as a resident. I will be taking other friends...

Informative and fun tour for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Tonia the guide for this tour is the type of person you immediately want to be friends with when you meet. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious which flows into the tour.

The tour was paced well with the right amount of food and space in between. It was neither too much nor too little food. All the food from the various establishments was excellent. I would definitely take non-vegan friends to these places without hesitation.

The other part of the tour was the history, culture, tips and hidden gems of Ortigia. I have family in the Siracusa area and I still learned some things I didn't know.

In Sicily food, history and culture are all intertwined. You can't talk about one without the others and this tour did an excellent job of reflecting that.

For English speaking travelers in Southeastern Sicily I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. It's a wonderful way to spend a few hours in beautiful Siracusa tasting great food, enriching your knowledge with an...

My wife and I had a great time on our vegan food tour with Tonia. It was such a surprise for us to see this was available and it turned out Ortigia was much more vegan friendly than we would ever have expected based on other experiences in Italy.

We booked the Vegan Street Food Tour one day and the Vegan Wine & Chocolate Pairing the day after. Both were great experiences where we were able to eat delicious local vegan food while learning some of the history of the area. Tonia was friendly, lively and helpful as a host and both tours lasted the perfect length. Strongly recommend checking this out if you are in Ortigia and want to try some...
