Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More

Denise_G, Sept 2026

An Culinary Adventure In Palermo

The food was amazing and our tour guide Emma made a fabulous experience even better. We were a party of 4 joined by 7 adults and a 21 month old in a stroller who turned out to be quite the gourmet. We shared our travel stories at each stop and thoroughly enjoyed this diverse group of foodies. A woman in the group was wearing a knee brace and walking slower than the rest, but Emma managed to keep us all together while sharing interesting facts about the markets and eateries. Each stop was a different taste of Sicily from savory arancina and eggplant atop penne pasta to a cannoli finale at a former convent established in the 14th century. We highly recommend this tour and our incredible guide Emma.

Fun ride in Palermo

What an amazing way to see Palermo. We had the best time ever on our first day in Palermo. Antonio and Fabrizo were amazing. Fabrizo explained the history of Palermo and the sites we saw. They were wonderful hosts and the case was so much fun. Even on a very hot day we kept cool with the top down. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to see Palermo in a fun way! Thank you for a great experience!

An Enjoyable Visit to Erice and Trapani

A very enjoyable trip to Erice and Trapani. The minibus was very comfortable and the Erice tour was interesting, as was the visit to the salt pans. Lunch at the winery was delicious Sicilian cuisine and wines and a nice way to round out the day. Recommended.

A Perfect Pizza (and gelato) Party

We had a great time attending this cooking class—it was a bit of a last minute decision on our part and we’re so glad we did it. We learned how to make a perfect pizza and gelato, and made several friends in the group during the process. I’ve already recommended this class to a few friends visiting Palermo and will continue to do so!

Something a little different

My husband and I did this tour one evening during our holiday, and we had a fantastic time. It was great to explore parts of Palermo that we hadn’t come across before and gain some local insight and knowledge about the area, its history, and the historical sites. Of course, trying the local Sicilian street food was a real highlight too! There was plenty of food and water throughout the tour, along with a few alcoholic drinks. We stopped at four different places to sample a variety of foods, and each time we were seated together as a group. This made it easy to really enjoy the food, chat with the other guests, and interact with our host. Oriana was an absolute delight — very friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. The whole tour was relaxed and chilled, with a lovely atmosphere from start to finish. We had a great few hours and would recommend this tour if you’re looking for something a little different to do while in Palermo.

No Mafia Tour in Palermo

This was a very informative tour. We learnt a great deal and were very impressed by the 'No Mafia' initiatives. Our guide was ready to answer any questions, easy to follow and really passionate about the cause. We followed the tour up by visiting some of the places he said were part of the Addiopizzo movement.

Great experience, delicious food

We had a great time at our pasta and tiramisu making class with Carlotta! She was so kind and engaging - very thorough in her explanation for making the pasta and giving us a hands-on experience. We made both tortolloni and tagliatelle which were absolutely delicious! We were so grateful to be welcomed into Carlotta's home and eat with her the fruits of our labor! So fun, and highly recommend!

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

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.

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!

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!
