This is a wonderful tour. Authentic food and friendly people. Palermo is so beautiful and our guide Angelo was amazing. He was so kind and knowledgable. We felt like we were with a friend. The markets are so lively, colourful and diverse. Lots to see, smell and taste. Highly recommend.

This sas so enjoyable. Allasandro gave us so much more than food tour. And the pacing was amazing. His local knowledge along with being a private chef truly was remarkable. A must do activity when visiting Palermo

Bring your appetite and sense of adventure on this tour. You also get to explore parts of Palermo and learn things. Dietary restrictions are accommodated. As another endorsement, they are mentioned in Rick Steves' book on Sicily.

Simona was fabulous. Funny, knowledgeable and accommodating. She brought Palermo to life with her stories and food associations. Highly recommend her & the tour.

Roberta was our terrific “Foodie” guide! She took us to two public markets to enjoy a variety of delicious authentic Sicilian street food and beverages. All of the food was high quality and freshly prepared with local ingredients. She gave us a brief history of Sicily to understand the various influences on the food, then explained each dish as it was presented. This was a great way to spend the morning in Palermo. Terrific guide, delicious food…don’t miss it!
