What are people saying about Palermo

Jennifer_M, Oct 2026

See Palermo in style

From the moment we met our two guides, we were greeted with an incredible level of enthusiasm and excitement! Riding through the city in the open-air car was such a fun and unique way to experience its beauty. The ride was smooth, and we traveled through both the historic and newer parts of the city, with our guides providing wonderful explanations and stories about all the sights along the way. The cooler stocked with beverages and the basket of snacks were such thoughtful touches that made our three-hour experience even more enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend this experience—it was truly one of the highlights of our time in the city!

We had a great time with Emma, our guide, for Palermo’s Secret Street Food Tour. She was so bubbly and upbeat and knew all the best places to experience the best food of Palermo.

This tour gave a good overview of the important sites in Palermo including the market which is always fun to ramble through. The Cannoli treat was delicious even though the torrential rain tried to disrupt the taste treat. Informative guide and well worth the expense

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

Jose_A, Sep 2026

Don’t give your money and vote to Mafia

Great tour with historical perspective of the intimidating tactics that Mafia uses to get business owners to pay for protection. Then how that turns into those families voting as determined by the Mafia boss for representatives and political power for the Mafia. Very informative and educational.

Private Monreale, Cefalù & Castelbuono Tour, from Palermo area

Margarita_F, Aug 2026

Fabulous tour, perfect guide!

The tour was fabulous! From the magnificent Cathedral of Monreale, the castle in Castelbuono and the seaside town of Cefalu. Our guide was Fabio and we could not possibly have had a better guide, he was polite and the perfect gentleman! A great driver, with a love for his city and surrounds. He shared historical facts, cultural iniquities and funny snippets. It was a very hot day and Fabio made sure we had cold water and were comfortable all the time, and more importantly he went out of his way so that we could see everything. The Monreale cathedral was closed for mass when we arrived there (Sunday morning) but was due to open in the afternoon, so Fabio reversed the itinerary and took us there on our return to Palermo. For us, that was “going up and above” the norm! The inside of the cathedral is something to behold! And to finish the day, he treated to the most delicious ice cream we’ve ever eaten! Thank Fabio for an absolutely fantastic day. Mille Gracie !!!

Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Market Tour or Pasta & Gelato

Elizabeth_T, Aug 2026

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!

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!

Palermo Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine - Cooking Italy

Danielle_W, Apr 2026

A hands on cooking experience!

The cooking class on how to make pasta was excellent and we would do it again. The pasta turns out great. We don’t love our tiramisu - it was a very basic version. The instructor was excellent. We were greeted with a class of prosecco, white wine and a finisher glass (3 in total). We enjoyed this very much the amount of time allocated to the class was ideal.
