Aram_A, Aug 2026

Incredible experience!

This was such a great way to spend the evening. The boat was very nice and the captain and the guide were wonderful. We stopped in two different spots for swims, then another for a snack, and then finished the night watching the sunset. Truly incredible and highly recommended!

Loved this experience! I...

Loved this experience! I previously did a class with Towns of Italy in Florence on a different vacation which lead me to booking this class in Palermo. It’s a bright, clean kitchen with others. Yet you still feel the private experience sitting with your group, cooking together, enjoying the food and drinking wine. Highly recommend! Will continue booking with them in other cities :)

Palermo : Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Lucy_M, Aug 2026

Palermo 3 hour private walking tour.

We had an excellent experience and would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Palermo and get a good sense of its history, surroundings and culture. Alessandro, our guide, was very knowledgeable and full of insight. He met us outside of our hotel and went at our pace. He walked us through the history of Palermo and its main attractions. He also showed us specific places that only locals know about. He included some cultural experiences by taking us to a Granita shop and we had cannoli at a Monastery that has historical significance. The tour allowed us to get a good sense of Palermo’s geography, making it easy for us to navigate the city for the remainder of our stay. Alessandro’s English is perfect and his energy was relentless despite the heat. He was very personable and helpful. At the end of our tour he took us to a small grocery store where we picked up water, etc. He also provided recommendations for dinner. Many thanks Alessandro. 😊

Foodfilling!

Oriana was fun and showed us a good variety of street food on the tour. Every stop we got seated easily and the food was fresh and delicious with plenty of water in the heat too. A good walk around the city too with a good insight into the local way of life. We were so full by the end of the tour!

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!

Chris_F, Jul 2026

Great Chef, great food, great memories!

This was a wonderfully intimate experience. Chef Carlo is not only an extremely experienced chef, he is very personable and an excellent teacher. The setting is beautiful, picking produce directly from the large garden that has been in his family for decades, with the sea and mountains as the backdrop. And the food was amazing, all prepared from scratch by you under the tutelage of a wonderful chef. Che bei momenti!

Very Interesting Tour

This was a historical tour combined with present day information. Our young guide, Guiseppe, was well-spoken, prepared, and sincere. The content could have taken a political tone, but Guiseppe provided balanced facts and let us come to our own conclusions. His love and appreciation for Palermo was evident and heartwarming.

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

Janet_E, Jun 2026

Great tour of popular Sicilian foods

This tour is an absolute must-do when you’re in Sicily! Our tour guide, Emma, did a fantastic job taking us to try popular local foods. She even had skip-the-line tickets for the bakery at the Monastery of Santa Caterina, so we avoided the long wait, and those cannoli were delicious. Emma was also incredibly knowledgeable about the highlights of Sicily along our walk. I highly recommend this tour!

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.
