What are people saying about Palermo

Edit_M, Mar 2026

A must if you visit Palermo

Cooking class in a villa with Palermo view

Matthew_R, Mar 2026

5 stars — Family + Kids

One of the best experiences of our entire trip. We booked this as a family of four, two adults and two girls (ages 7 and 11), and it exceeded every expectation. It was completely private, which made it feel incredibly personal and special. We started in the garden harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables with our daughters, then moved inside to make fresh pasta from scratch. Carlo was patient, engaging, and made everyone feel involved, even our youngest was completely absorbed the whole time. The setting, the views of Palermo, the food we made together, all of it was world class. This wasn’t just a cooking class, it was a genuine experience we’ll talk about for years. If you’re visiting Sicily with family, do not skip this. Highest possible recommendation.

Palermo's Delight: Unleash the Secrets of Pizza and Gelato Making

KAREN_F, Mar 2026

Who knew!

Such a fun experience! While I don’t cook, i love to eat. The instructions in the class gave me the knowledge to prepare the foods if i desired. So obviously this is a great fun class for anyone. The instructor(chef) was fabulous and patient and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was clean and inviting with the end product of pizza & gelato being deliciously edible. Do it, you won’t regret it!

Discover the Charm of Palermo: A 3-Hour UNESCO Sites Walking Tour

LouiseHoward, Feb 2026

Highly recommend this walking tour!

A great tour with the local guide Valeria. We had a group of 9 and it was a deep historical perspective of how Palermo came to be today. Valeria spoke brilliant English and was helpful and attentive throughout the tour. There was a coffee stop and a lovely treat at the end. This made the following 4 days in Palermo really lovely as we knew the city and great places to eat. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Palermo.

Wanna be Sicilian: Palermo Cooking Class and Market Tour

Davidlmatthews61, Oct 2025

Fun cooking (and eating) class.

We had a great experience with Chef Salvatore. The walking tour of the market gave an appreciation of the various foods in this area with a sampling of street food. Cooking class included making pasta, arancini and the cannoli shell. Pacing was good as the experience lasted just under 4 hours. Show up hungry as the arancini and pasta you make will be filling. Need to leave room for the cannoli.

Rose_K, Oct 2025

Great tour!

We arrived to Palermo by cruise ship. There were six of us. Annalisa gave detailed directions to meet her. We were a bit late, and she was kind to wait. Make sure you have WhatsApp so she can keep in touch. Annalisa’s tour was so much fun, and her knowledge and love for her city was evident. Highly recommend.

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Richelle_L, Oct 2025

Top tier tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an amazing experience!!!!! As we drove through Palermo, it was evident that this open cruiser city tour was the best way to learn about the history and culture of Palermo. There were stops on this tour that we would not have made a priority and we are so glad we had the opportunity. Fabrizio and Antonio were incredible hosts. Antonio was so funny and Fabrizio was passionate about sharing his beloved city with us. The ride had a hospitality chest full of snacks and drinks. Both Fabrizio and Antonio were accommodating to our requests. We purchased the 6-hour tour and could have spent more time with the Antonio and Fabrizio, especially in the market; we needed more time for shopping. When Fabrizio wasn’t sharing history or culture with us, he played a fabulous mix of music. One helpful hint: if you are touring with anyone hearing impaired, have them sit in the seats closest to the driver and guide so they can hear better. There is not an audio speaker to the back seats. 10/10-we would do this tour again. Well worth the investment of time and money.

Palermo: Tour Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale in CruiserCar

Gina_M, Aug 2025

Amazing Experience- Book This!!

My husband and I did the Cruiser Car tour of Palermo with the extended 3 hour tour- this was amazing!! Fabrizio was a wonderful tour guide- providing us with a great history of the city and really sharing his love of Palermo. Antonio was our driver navigating the narrow streets with ease (I would have crashed 17 times over!) but we felt so safe and well taken care of! We did a driver around the streets of Palermo, then headed to the Catacombs where we learned a little about how their history and how they are so different from those in Paris and Rome. We went inside for a self guided walk. Then we went up to Monreale to the Cathedral with some amazing history behind the building and blending of cultures. We went inside for a self guided tour. Then we went back down into city center to the Palermo Cathedral and did a self guided walk after learning about the history of the building. We did some more driving around the city to learn about the palace, two opera houses and back to our hotel. Would 10/10 recommend this tour. Everything was perfect and both Fabrizio and Antonio made sure your experience was excellent. The car was super clean and so fun, the snacks were offered and lots of drinks on offer- we just had Prosecco and water
