What are people saying about Palermo

Anuj_A, May 2026

Highly Recommend A Tour With Pamela!

Took a tour of Palermo with our tour guide Pamela, and it was absolutely amazing! Pamela is very well informed and gave us a deep dive into Palermo’s history, and honestly at the end of the tour I was left wondering how she was able to tell so many stories in three hours. Would highly recommend and will be contacting them during my next trip to Palermo.

Terrific cooking class and market walk

This was a fun and engaging cooking class! Salvo, our chef instructor, led us in preparing connolo, fresh tomato sauce, ragu, arancini, and fresh pasta. He guided us through a local food market and we tasted a few local treats. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend it and Salvo!

Palermo No Mafia walking tour: discover the Anti-mafia culture in Sicily

Tom_S, Apr 2026

No mafia tour

Very informative tour and the guide was extremely knowledgable about the current and past influences of the Mafia and Palermo. Our guide was passionate about the tour and topic and she did a great job. The only suggestion we have is that we would have had better communications using headsets since Palermo was very busy with tourists and sometimes we had difficulties hearing the content. Well worth the cost of the tour and my wife and I recommend it.

The Cannoli Alone Are Worth It 😍

Lorenzo was amazing! He brought Palermo to life in a way that was personal and fun, and every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. The food and drinks were all genuinely delicious, and yes… the cannoli from the convent lived up to the hype. Be sure to come hungry, though! You will absolutely leave feeling like you just had a full (and very memorable) meal.

Excellent, meticulously planned tour!

An excellent tour, planned down to the smallest detail. Renato, both tour guide and driver, proved to be a very knowledgeable guide and an extraordinary driver. He displayed a friendly demeanor and exceptional knowledge of the subject matter. The wine tasting and presentation of local cuisine were a truly impressive addition to the tour. Overall, a very positive experience.

So glad I signed up for this!

Chef Marcello made the evening fun. I learned so much, and not just about pizza, but great cooking tips from a top chef. The group developed a nice camaraderie and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. So glad that I signed up for this and will look into similar opportunities in the future. Thanks for a wonderful experience chef, and by the way, the pizza and gelatto were amazing and a lot easier than I expected

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.

Original Night Street Food Tour of Palermo with Local -by Streaty

Night Street Food Tour of Palermo with Alessandro

I signed us up for the Night Street Food Tour with a local expert on October 29, 2025 (6:30 PM – 9:30 PM), and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Palermo. From the very start at Teatro Massimo, Alessandro made the group feel welcome and excited. He was easy to spot with his red umbrella and Streaty bag between the two bronze lions, and his warm, lively and comical personality set the tone for the evening. The walk through Palermo’s lively streets was not just about food—it was a cultural journey. Alessandro shared fascinating stories about Sicilian traditions, history, and the local way of life, all while guiding us to hidden gems we never would have found on our own. The food itself was plentiful—definitely a full meal! Arancina - fresh and perfectly crispy on the outside and rich inside. I suggest you order this right after it was fried so that it is fresh. A variety of street food bites that gave us a real taste of Palermo’s culinary soul. And of course, the Sicilan drinks (wine and beer) in La Vuccheria. Gelato at LaKala (near the port) that ended the night on a sweet note. The tour ended at Piazza Fonderia, right in the heart of downtown near the port, which was a perfect spot to continue exploring or simply relax after such a flavorful evening. What stood out most was Alessandro himself—knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely fun to be around. He made the experience feel less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend who knows all the best spots. We definitely left with a full stomach, a deeper appreciation (except for spleen sandwich sorry Alessandro, lol) and understanding for Sicilian street food. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Palermo through its food and culture!

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

Elaine_L, Oct 2025

Wonderful tour of Beautiful Sicily

We had a wonderful time touring Sicily with our tour guide ,Alessio, who was so friendly and kind. Alessio was full of information about Sicily and all the stops we made. He told us about all the areas and was happy to take pictures at all the beautiful views of Sicily. Pedro drove thru the busy streets and up the climb of Mt Pellegrino - we felt safe. He made us feel comfortable and safe thru the tour. Very nice as well. Two wonderful guides. We enjoyed Prosecco, cold drinks & snacks which made everything for a beautiful day! Definitely book this tour you will be very happy you did. Fun relaxing tour. Sicily is gorgeous and we felt very special in our cab car tour. Caio Bella!! Elaine & Bill

Palermo : Historic Center, Catacombs & 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.
