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

Laura_B, Jun 2026

Enjoyable Pizza and Gelato Evening

Federico and Marcello were great in teaching us the tricks of the trade in making pizza and gelato. We were able to then taste our own created Italian cuisine. The evening was fun, enjoyable and knowledgeable. Great evening that I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Private Boat Tour on the Palermo Coast

Chelsea_J, Jun 2026

5 ☆ experience!

We had an amazing half day boat tour with Sergio! The boat was absolutely stunning. Finding the meeting point was a little tricky because we lost cell reception, but we made it, and Sergio was incredibly patient. He took us to beautiful, crystal clear waters and gave us plenty of time to swim, relax, and take in the incredible scenery. We were also treated to delicious Sicilian street food style snacks and the best Aperol Spritz we've ever had! This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend this half day tour. Everything was thoughtfully provided..including towels, snorkeling masks, food, drinks, and great music, which made for a truly 5-star experience. We would absolutely book with Sergio again!

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

Morven_H, Jun 2026

One of the most interesting and engaging tours I've been on

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and impassioned. This is honestly one of the best tours I've been on given this is living history and how much this means to the people of Palermo. This really came across from our amazing guide who was so engaging. We learned so much that we didn't know about the impact of the mafia on the city and it's residents and how people are forming a movement to resist extortion and improve the lives of their people. Thank you for the work you do and the insights.

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

Patrick_K, Jun 2026

A Wonderful Time In Palermo

This was our first walking tour ever and it set a high bar for others to try and beat. Gieuseppe was our guide and he is a Palermo native who loves his city. As such he was very informed of the city’s history, culture, and gastronomy. He was energetic, patient with all our questions, and is clearly a natural for this type of service! The food was delicious and I was left wondering how Do Eat Better would still profit from our experience. That being said, I hope you try this tour and if you do, please remember to honor your tour guide with gratuity. 🤠 Thank you Guiseppe and Palermo for a wonderful time!

Highly recommended for food lovers!

Lorenzo was such a great guide, and planned a really lovely experience. He obviously put a lot of thought into the itinerary, making sure we could have both cannoli and coffee at his favorite places before they closed. We tried so many delicious Sicilian specialities - you should come hungry and plan on this being your whole meal - we were stuffed at the end. Lorenzo even suggested other places to try on our own as well. Highly recommended!

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Palermo City Tour, Catacombs and Monreale

Pietro and Antonio were awesome. They picked us up from the hotel with a warm welcome Antonio was our driver and an excellent one at that. Pietro was so knowledgeable about Italy, the history, the attractions etc. he was also so passionate about it We especially loved the Cathedral of Monreale. Pietro walked us through the history, how to walk though it and shared a book with how it was built and organized It was the most magnificent cathedral we have ever been to. It had the story of the Bible from one end to the other We thoroughly enjoyed the trip sitting in the heck of the cruiser car with beautiful views, snacks and prosecco We would highly recommend this experience

Wanna be Sicilian: Palermo Cooking Class and Market Tour

Molly_B, May 2026

The only cooking class you need to try!!

Marcello was absolutely amazing!! He was so informative on how to cook everything and showed us techniques we can use at home. We made wonderful Sicilian dishes and also got a tour of the market in the area which was so much fun and it showed us a lot of the culture here in Palermo. I highly recommend!!

Palermo: Norman Palace & Palatine Chapel – Small Group or Private

Martin_R, Mar 2026

Fantastic Tour

This tour was fantastic. Our guide, Erico, was very knowledgeable and made this tour great. He not only knew the background and history, he knew the particular places to stand to get the best view of the particular items of interest. The tour did not include some other parts of the palace because there were some official functions that day, but that was disclosed in advance. Even without being able to see that portion of the palace, this tour still gets my highest rating. If you are also going to see Monreale, there will be some distinct similarities, but the contrasts make it even more interesting.

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

Susannah_B, Nov 2025

Lovely boat trip

Excellent boat trip and lovely end to our trip to Palermo. On Viator it’s advertised at 3pm but as it gets dark earlier in November, they got in touch with a suggested earlier time and were very accommodating. Angela and her son were kind and friendly. First they took us to Mondello (beautiful spot) and docked so we could swim. Then they prepared a tasty Sicilian street food platter and Aperol Spritz. Then we sailed back towards Palermo and stopped at Queen’s Cave for a second swim and quick exploration. As the sun set, they provided us with cannoli, limoncello and fun music. Lovely time, thank you again :-)

Palermo : Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale CruiserCar Tour

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
