What are people saying about Palermo

Sarah_C, Apr 2026

A walking tour with a difference.

This is a really informative tour where you genuinely get the insights into the corruption that once held the country in its grip and how a group of likeminded people resisted against it and paved the way for a better future for all. Silvia really knows her history. She was friendly, informative and very passionate about her work. I highly recommend.

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!

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.

Cooking class in a villa with Palermo view

JoAnn_F, Oct 2025

Always Cook with Carlo -

My husband & and I, along with our 2 friends were coming to an end of our 2 week vacation through Italy and Sicily, diid we really need another cooking class???? But I couldn't resist some of the other reviews written by Carlo's guests...and had to experience for myself. Read other reviews for details about what and how we cooked, but I'd like to tell you it was more like spending time with friends sharing stories while making your own pasta, and the best Cannoli's this Italian has ever had. So to answer my own question... Yes, we did need one more cooking class - Carlo's !

Highly Recommend!

What a fantastic first day in Palermo. Our chef, I believe his name was Marcello, was great. He made the class fun and informative. He was very organized and made learning easy. I also enjoyed our walk throuh the market where he explained what some of the foods were and even gave us a taste of a few of his favorites.

Palermo Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better

Stanley_W, Oct 2025

Choose this tour!

There are several very good food tours in Palermo; this one is outstanding! The walking pace is great, the selection of food is truly typical Sicilian, and some provide an opportunity to taste something you might not ordinarily choose on a Sicilian menu. Just wait until you taste the arancina hot and fresh right out of the fryer! And top that off with a pistachio granita! Carlo is an excellent guide; he knows Palermo and he knows food and is passionate about sharing it with visitors.

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
