This is one of the most authentic and engaging experiences we offer, inspired by the ancient Sicilian tradition of homemade pasta. In the past, making fresh pasta in Sicilian families was a true shared ritual: everyone had a role, and kneading together became a moment of sharing, culture, and tradition. During this experience, you'll literally get your hands on the dough, learning step by step how to prepare traditional Sicilian fresh pasta shapes made from semolina. Once the pasta is ready, we'll gather around a cozy table to enjoy seasonal dishes prepared with the pasta we've made together, accompanied by carefully selected Sicilian wine. As a special keepsake, you'll receive a digital recipe for fresh pasta, so you can bring a piece of Sicily into your kitchen.

This experience is absolutely out of the loop. I won't take you where to take a picture you have to line up. I won't even take you shopping in a store found on instagram. I will take you to the places of my heart, where we will meet people who live the real Sicily, the slow one, who savor every moment of their lives, far from modern society. And we will not even be in a remote place in the mountains, we will be a few kilometers from Palermo.

All accompanied by the inevitable limoncello, protagonist of the whole day!

Our guide, Umberto, was amazing! He drove, spoke English and explained everything in detail along the way as well as when we were in Castlebuono. Castlebuono was worth the journey, a very picturesque town on the top of a mountain with a castle. Great little shops . Also Cephalu is a must see. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Palermo!

Great Overview of Maria History in Sicily and how locals are fighting back!

The tour was excellent, very informative and inspiring. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Palermo who wants to learn more about the tumultuous history of the mafia in Sicily and how the locals are pushing back against it. Our guide was extremely kind and passionate about the subject.

A good variety of foods to reflect the different ethic flavors of Palmero. Also our guide, Federico, provided history as we walked to the various locations. Federico was very personable and engaging throughout the experience, we were lucky to have him as our guide.

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

Linda_D, Aug 2026

Super time

It was a great boat trip. Kids (around 20 yo) had super fun on the float and with the motorized water scooter. Only glitch was he wanted to combine our morning trip with the later sunset cruise, with larger boat. We agreed, and the larger boat was much nicer for 7 people than the smaller one would have been, so it all worked out.

Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Market Tour or Pasta & Gelato

Elizabeth_T, Aug 2026

Salvo 🙌🏻

We had a phenomenal experience with Salvo! We were fortunate to have him all to ourselves for our market tour and class. The market was opening a little late due to the august summer “vacations” so we started the morning with prep. About 2 hours in we got to tour the market. Salvo knew many people at the market and explained all of the various ingredients local to Sicily and what’s in season. We even got a few samples from the local vendors to try some staple dishes. After the market we returned to finish up our dishes. Salvo is extremely knowledgeable and talented! We had great conversation all day about Sicily, food, his experience working in various kitchens and his family. The food turned out amazing and we are so happy we got a digital book with the steps and ingredients needed to replicate at home. This was a highlight of our trip. Thank you salvo!

Fresh and local take on Palermo & Sicily

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Kim_R, Jul 2026

Excellent Way To Tour Palermo

Fabrizio, our tour guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable, very easy to understand, and did an excellent job showing us the sites and explaining the history. Just make VERY sure there are no reports of extreme hot weather/fires, etc. We were on a cruise and the fires on the roads from Palermo to Catania closed the roads, so our bus ride back to Catania took seven hours instead of two, which means we missed our ship leaving the port for two days. Other than that, the tour itself was amazing!

The Palermo food tour...

The Palermo food tour with Emma was absolutely fantastic! I got to try so many dishes I’d never tasted before! it was a wonderful explosion of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed some delicious local wines and beers. Emma was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. She took me to authentic places where everything is made in the traditional way and explained so many interesting details along the way. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable from the start. I had such a great time that the tour flew by. I highly recommend this experience! Grazie :)

Palermo Historic Center Catacombs and Monreale CruiserCar Tour

Megan_F, Sep 2025

Absolute must when in Palermo!

This tour was honestly one of my family’s favorite things we did while in Sicily. Coming off of a busy few days in Rome, this was the perfect thing for us to do. It was us (5 adults), our driver and our guide, Fabrizio. The cruiser car was very comfortable (and VERY clean) and we had great weather. The amount of snacks and beverages included were far more than I had expected. They even tried to send more drinks with us from the cooler after the tour ended. We had some flight problems before arriving in Sicily and Fabrizio was wonderful to communicate with and changed our tour time to the afternoon with no issues. We got to learn some history during the tour while seeing amazing things and views. They offered to take group photos for us, too. They also offered to let us play our own music via the Bluetooth speaker but we told them to pick the music and their playlist was far better than ours would have been. We had a lot of people looking at us in the cruiser car, and we heard many of them saying, “Why didn’t we do something like that?!” We got to see all of the main sites without any hassle or walking forever. At the end, they offered to bring us back to our hotel or a restaurant, and we asked for restaurant recommendations. Their recommendations ended up being phenomenal. It was the most relaxed experience while being one of the most carefree/fun. I seriously cannot put into words how much my family and I enjoyed this. I thought more people would have booked this! Cannot recommend enough. We started comparing every excursion to this one. They set a high standard.
