The very first food tour launch in Palermo. Join us in a three-hour strolling around the backstreets of the city center guided by a young Palermitan who will share with you stories and legends only renowned among locals.
We have an easy-going approach with travelers making them feel like friends, not like clients! We will take you to the same places where our guides go to eat and drink with friends. We will share with you the best tips to enjoy Palermo and Sicily like a local. We will share our personal stories to make you feel what being a Sicilian means.
You will taste traditional street foods at vendors who have been carefully selected for the quality of food and the authenticity of the location. There are no tourist traps on this tour! Travelers will step into hidden corners and try foods they wouldn't dare to do alone. The amount of food we offer on this tour replaces a full meal.

5.00We loved a special tour with Salvador! He is very knowledgeable about not only food but history of Palermo and we enjoyed every min listening to hear all interesting stories. We got to try different food at various local settings which made us feel the experience authentic, highly recommend it!

5.00This was truly a great tour of street food provided by a local who has worked in the markets around Palermo. We visited many small food stalls that cater to locals with a little bit of history sprinkled for good measure but food was the main event. Vinz our guide was fantastic. Funny, enthusiastic and really made us all feel at home.
Too expensive for mangia e bere

3.00The price-performance ratio was not right: There was never any mention of the restriction to three drinks in the program, most of it was to complete standing, which is also not everyone's/everyone's business. Our guide (Raffaela), on the other hand, was super nice and also told us a lot of interesting things.

5.00The tour was well worth it. Simona was perfect and the gelato was the best we had (we tried others). Taking the tour allows you to get the lay of the land, try great bites you may not normally try (spleen sandwich) and meet some fun people.

5.00Ale is a phenomenal guide. She is multi-lingual and basically a celebrity in the community. She is down to earth, hospitable, and super kind, offering recommendations! The food was phenomenal (be sure you’re ready for fried, fatty and full of carbs).
