Maybe a bun with lard-fried spleen and lungs isn't for everyone. The Sicilians love it though and we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a very nice tour with lots of tips for your further stay and tasty insights into Palermo's steet food. The sweet conclusion of the tour was in a charming monastery garden. We paid another €5 for admission and went to see the monastery church, the panoramic roof and the monastery. A great surprise that we hadn’t had on our screen before and which in our eyes dwarfed Palermo Cathedral. So culinary and culturally a very nice and interesting tour. Thank you!
Great food with Federico

We had a lovely time with Federico on a night food tour. Federico provided lots of historical information about where we were visiting and the food origins. It was a great tour and we had a lovely time. Very large portions, we left stuffed. Last comment, I'm a vegetarian and these tours are normally just so-so for me but they made a real effort to provide real vegetarian options. Highly recommend the tour.
Excellent experience

Carlo was so phenomenal—the night was filled with history, laughs, and amazing food! We got to see and eat things that we never would have, had we not had Carlo’s guidance. 10/10!
