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.

Angelo was a great host for our tour and his food tour was really good fun. We sampled a lot of street food and got to know the city a bit better at the same time. Thank you

Angelo was amazing! He was super fun and informative. There were a few things that weren't available that were supposed to be and it seemed like where we sat/stood sometimes was a little weird. But we had a great time!

Great explanations of the food but also we were given many culinary and cultural insights about the market and the old city. He gave excellent social insights into the challenges facing the inhabitants of the Capo Market area and Sicily in general. I would definitely recommend this tour
