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

Jose_A, Sept 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.

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.

Palermo : Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Fred_A, Sept 2026

Palermo walking tour

Our guide Margarithe was very knowledgeable, educated and friendly and able to communicate well in English. The tour was a good orientation to the history of Palermo and the main attractions.

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

Carly_N, Sept 2026

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.

Palermo: Sicilian Pasta & Tiramisu Class with Wine by Cesarine

Erin_C, Sept 2026

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!

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 !!!

Absolutely amazing experience! 🍕🍨 We had the pizza & gelato class today with Federico and Nadia, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had in Palermo! They were incredible teachers, so knowledgeable, entertaining, friendly, and passionate. They made sure everyone was involved, having fun, and getting the absolute best out of the experience. We learned so much, laughed a lot, enjoyed delicious food, and even made some new friends along the way! ❤️ If you’re looking for something fun, authentic, and memorable to do in Palermo, this is 100% an experience we recommend. Federico and Nadia were amazing from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time! Definitely a must-try in Palermo! 🇮🇹🍕🍨

Palermo Sicilian Cooking Class with Market Tour or Pasta & Gelato

Olivia_M, Aug 2026

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 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!
