    Fascinating discussion of history of Palermo and enjoying food probably available in no other place in the world. The guide Marco obviously enjoys his job, likes interacting with the walkers, and express certain phrases in 5 languages including Arabic.

  • Fun family activity to learn about Palermo’s history and food

    Salvo was a wonderful guide through the streets of Palermo. It was a good mix of history and delicious food. Our family enjoyed the experience and we highly recommend.

    If you want to experience Palermo through its food, its culture, neighborhoods, and people, this is your tour. Alessandro, our guide, was terrific! Tons of food, stops, drinks, atmosphere. He was knowledgeable, funny, and endlessly entertaining. Most importantly, he seemed to know everyone at every stop (vendors, shop owners, chefs). He was also great with my 7 year old twins. Perfect tour!

    Alejandro was the best street food guide. He is super knowledgeable about all the food available in Palermo and we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour - he told us the history and had us guess the ingrediants, showed us the culture of the city.
