Fabrizio was fantastic! He clearly loves his home town of Palermo and is very knowledgeable about history and traditions. Honestly we weren’t sure what to think of Palermo after arriving at night and not seeing much of the city before the tiur but after tasting wonderful food and hearing about its history we now have a place in our hearts for the people, sites and food of the city. Would highly recommend the tour and Fabrizio.

This tour is a must in Palermo! Make sure you do the tour with Fabrizio, he is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I did this tour two years ago with our kids. It was so great we did it again with our family (aunts, uncle, and cousins). Wonderful tour of the city. It is so informative. The street food can’t be beat. Fabrizio takes you to the street market to get an authentic feel of the city.

This was our second tour with Fabrizio! We liked his first tour so much in 2017 we rebooked with him for our family trip in 2025. It’s a small intimate group which we like better than big groups of 20 to 30 people. Frabrizio was born and raised in Palermo so very knowledgeable. The food selections are delicious and informative. He also accommodated gluten options for 2 people in our group! He is warm, inviting and funny. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great tour. Fabrizio, our guide, was very passionate about Palermo. He provided quite a bit of history during the walk through town. He took us to a market area where we sampled several types of food. There was a fair amount of walking involved. Highly recommend.

While in Palermo last week our group of 4 went on this tour given by Fabrizio. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour - Fabrizio had a lot of information and recommendations on historic sites to see while in Palermo - also was very entertaining . Visiting a street market and trying typical Sicilian street food was great. Would definitely recommend this tour .

We were a group of 12 ranging from 8 to 74 years old. Fabrizio was amazing and truly knew Palermo inside and out. The added food tasting in the market was so fun! It was the best arincina I have ever had in my life. We learned so much about our Sicilian culture, and he also made it fun for the kids! Our group loved it and highly recommends to anyone visiting Palermo!!
