Full description

Explore the main markets and backstreets of Palermo city center with a local food expert. Escape the usual tourist traps and discover venues loved by the locals for a fully immersive foodie experience.
Let us guide you through the colorful food markets of Palermo to taste our traditional street food specialties, among them, the one and only authentic arancina recipe available only at one secret place in town!
When it comes to food, our policy is very simple: we only offer what locals eat, not what tourists expect. We're passionate local tour guides eager to lead travelers by the hand as they explore the rich tradition of Palermo's street food.
We have selected for you the best that the streets of Palermo have to offer: the authentic thousand-year-old arancini recipe, panelle (chickpea fritters), cazzilli croquette, Sfincione (local thick pizza), mangia & bevi (meat dish), cheese, olives, the one and only pani ca'meusa and a final seasonal dessert (cannolo or gelato or other seasonal dessert loved by locals) + a special treat reserved only to real adventurous foodies!
On Sundays you will get some different delicious treat, like the unknown crostino with béchamel and ham and the inimitable ravazzata with ragù sauce!
The walking tour ends with a seasonal dessert. The amount of food on this tour substitutes a full meal.

It's all packed in one! A FOOD EXPERIENCE COMBINED WITH HISTORY & CULTURE WALKING TOUR! Indeed, this is a fully immersive cultural experience. We will discuss many topics besides cuisine in order to make you feel the real street spirit of Palermo: history, traditions, controversial topics and more! Come venture the secret alleyways to chat with street food vendors and colorful characters.
Enter the oldest working-class bar downtown and share a drink with Palermitans. The small group tour will allow you to interact with your local guide and collect the best tips to enjoy the city like a local.
