Visiting Palermo on a long-awaited trip, booked this tour and it was AWESOME! Alessandra, our guide, was fantastic! Knowledgeable, funny, and very informative about local culture and food, cannot say enough about it. The food was great, we discovered new favorites (ravazzate at Ganci, and sfincone, and got some referrals for places to go later in the week. Thank you so much for a really great experience!!

When me and my wife arrived in Palermo we were really upset about the horrible weather (super rainy and windy) and we didn't even feel like doing the tour. Our guide, Salvatore managed to turn our frowns upside down with his passion for the food and history of Palermo and the region in general. Highly reccomend!

A great way to see some of the older city and enjoy foods that are not pretentious. The guide knows the subject well and gives great insight into the history along the way and of the food.
