The guide couldn’t talk so should have found someone else. Also a family was behind so it was hard to have a scattered group.

I did the Street Food and Monuments tour with Fabrizio. He immediately created chemistry in our group. Friendly and funny, he taught us so much about Palermo and the Sicilians. I loved it and highly recommend it.

Our guide, Fabrizio, was fantastic. He walked us through the sites with detailed descriptions and historical explanations and gave us tips on other things to see. Just what we wanted. The street food was great.

Just what the label says. Pleasant and enjoyable walking/eating tour through Palermo. If you're lucky enough to get Fabrizio, you'll have a great time. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and capable. Would recommend as a wonderful introduction to the city.

A great food tasting tour, on top of loads of information about Palermo. Fabrizio was wonderful. A 5 star guide.

We really enjoyed this tour from start to finish. Our guide Fabrizio was knowledgeable, funny & welcomed us to his home city with such passion! We got to see a lot of the major monuments and the tour through Capo food market was excellent! We sampled food we never would have tried without the tour & were able to purchase some wonderful (& cheap!) herbs, spices & other Sicilian treats to take home. The group was big but not too big and we walked at a pace accessible for all. The tour ran over time slightly as Fabrizio showed us an extra stop at the end which was very kind of him. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

Fabrizio was a knowledgeable and organized guide for the monuments and markets of Palermo. He shared information about history and folklore which enhanced our sense of the local culture. We would recommend this tour to others as a helpful orientation to the city of Palermo.
