What to expect
You'll meet your guide in central Ortigia and head out on foot as the light begins to shift. Each stop—whether a narrow-front rooftop bar or a high-ceilinged spot tucked into a palazzo—reveals something about how locals actually drink here. Your guide talks through the cocktails, the neighbourhood, the architecture above and around you. There's no lecturing; it's more conversation over drinks. Between venues you walk through quieter streets, spotting details most visitors miss. The pace is relaxed, the group small.
Good to know
