Alessandro and Polina made this trip an unforgettable experience for me in the best way possible. These two love what they do and it shows. They are both lovely down to earth people who will go out of their way to make sure you have the best time. It was my birthday when I was in Sicily and they make sure the celebration was fantastic. Beautiful breakfast, homemade cake, all the drinks they made me feel so special. Can’t say enough good things about this tour and the hosts. I highly recommend it.

I recently returned home after a month long journey in Italy. My trip concluded with a 10 day tour of Sicily with Viaggia Discover Sicily. This was more than just an ordinary tour as Chef Alessandro & Polina showed us the spirit of Sicily through food, wine, culture and the history of this beautiful Island.
The tour was curated in such a way that we experienced all Sicily has to offer and gave us a truly authentic experience.
From a day at a beautiful beach club, winery tours, cooking with Chef, Michelin Star dining, an operatic musical performance in Taormina, boat tours and swimming in the Tyrrhenian & Ionian Seas to visiting the most vibrant, lively, chaotic market in Palermo which offered amazing street foods and crazy characters.
Alessandro & Polina are warm, caring passionate people who put their hearts and souls into making this a truly unique experience.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who has a passion for travel, food history and a curiosity for life and other cultures. Definitely the highlight of my travels through beautiful Italy. ❤️
