					  Best Vegan Tour! Book it now! - Tonia’s vegan street food tour is the best way to experience this part of Sicily. She has a deep knowledge of food and history w/ genuine connections to the local... read more vendors and restaurants. At each stop, she introduced us not only to dishes but also to the stories behind them and the people who made them. We had a wide range of options and adjusted the tour as we walked.

The food was excellent! -- savory + sweet options. The focus is vegan, but it’s just as enjoyable for non-vegans. 

Tonia is passionate about the history, culture, and food scene, and makes the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable -- and she handles everything so you can just sit back while the food arrives. Highly recommend

					  Fantastic vegan street food tour and so much more!  - We absolutely loved our vegan street tour! Tonia was fun, friendly, knowledgeable about local historical sights, as well as being an expert in the best places for vegan food. We... read more booked our tour at the start of our stay so that we could make use of Tonia's recommendations.  We have since eaten a wonderful meal at MOON and great street food at Forneria siciliana. We still have a couple of days to sample more vegan delights!

					  The best vegan experience available in Italy!  - After struggling to find good vegan options during our Italy trip, my wife and I were extremely excited to find Tonia’s vegan tours when we arrived in Syracuse.

It... read more was the BEST decision we made and we wish we had more time to try her other tours!

Not only is Tonia extremely knowledgeable on the culture & history of the area, she brought it all together with the best vegan culinary tour we have ever been on! Her upbeat and positive energy made the whole day a blast, also demonstrated by the love she received by vendors all along the way.

She also made careful arrangements to accommodate for me NOT being vegan, and ensured my wife and I had different options with her being vegan and me being gluten free.

Be sure to go hungry and you will have the vegan experience of a lifetime!
