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.

You will easily find arancini around the streets but there is only one place in town that still makes the thousand-year-old recipe, you will find it on this tour. Your guides will have selected various bouquets of traditional street food for you.

Enjoy veggie fritters, soft ravazzata with spinach, and a challenging offal sandwich. All tours end with a seasonal dessert. The amount of food will substitute for your lunch. Venture down secret alleyways to chat with street food vendors and colorful characters.

Thank you to Angelo for a great tour! He kept us well fed and hydrated throughout the whole tour. The arancini we had was by far the best we tried in Sicily! Angelo speaks impeccable English and shared a lot of great information on the food, history, and culture of Palermo. We were stuffed afterwards due to all the great food.
