We enjoyed the tour a lot, it is one of the most enjoyed city food tours we had! Alessandro is a knowledgeable guide, the walk was of a perfect length with good information included, food selection was very good and tasty or us, the included drinks were perfect to accompany the snacks. The ending point in the inner garden with the yummy dessert was so beautiful. Thank you, Alessandro, for a very good tour!

Fantastic experience getting ‘lost’ as he puts it in this vibrant diverse city. Angelo was a fantastic guide and made sure every single member of the group was looked after and included.

Really informative and delicious street food tour in Palermo. Angelo, our guide, knew his stuff and did a good job pacing eating and walking. Highly recommend!

Very good tour for a foodie. Simona was a charming guide and we were practically waddling at the end of the tour after all the food. Included two beers and a wine which also went down nicely

Angelo brought the city of Palermo and its lively markets to life for us. The food was great and his explanations of history, culture, and current events brought a lively city down to eye level for us. The only pointer we would give is that whisper boxes would have assisted us in hearing him better through the busy city streets.
