The food was awesome! The spleen sandwich was interesting. So unusual ! And the chef won a tv show with best street food! Our group was delightful! Simone is who brought everything together and explained the food, culture, history, and her grandmother’s cooking? She truly was the star of the afternoon!!! Highly recommend! If you get Simone… lucky you!!!

We had enjoyed a Streaty food tour in Palermo, so we had high hopes for Rome, and Julia delivered! Her love of Roman food and sharing special spots in her neighborhood is what put this over the top. The variety and number of stops were perfect. Everything we ate (and drank) was delicious and authentic. We especially enjoyed being able to engage with the owners at a couple of the spots. We’d recommend this tour in a heartbeat to anyone wanting the true Roman food experience, with some amazing history along the way!
Loved this experience

This was really fun. The guide Nadia was very knowledgeable and was very fun and friendly. Wish I had done this the first day, because it was Nadia gave a lot of useful information about the foodscene in Palermo.
Great insight into the markets and food of Palermo

A food tour is such a great way to experience a city. What better way to interact with local culture than through food? Our tour guide, Alessandra, was just great. She took us to many wonderful local eateries hidden away in places that a tourist would never find. We were introduced to various market foods that we would never have stopped to try! Add Streaty tours to your itinerary for Palermo! Come hungry!
Great food awesome guide

In early July we did the Palermo MORNING Street Food & Market Tour with Salvo. We have been on a lot of food tours, this one seemed like we were hanging out with a old friend or distant cousin who was showing us around their town. He was funny, insightful and helped us learn a lot about Palermo in a short time. Next time we are back we certainly will stay in Palermo longer and try another one of their tours. Thank you!
