Fabrizio was very fun and nice, the food was a nice added value and all the information about the food was amazing. The history part could be a bit improved: we would have liked to have learned more about battles etc. and some more history. But good nonetheless!

The tour is great. Hits many of the highlights of Palermo's old city and some hidden gems you might not expect (think puppet theater). The guide is knowledgeable and engaging and shares many interesting stories without ever becoming tedious. The street food is outstanding! Come hungry leave happy.

This is a brilliant tour. Fabrizio is very knowledgeable and friendly, he made the tour extremely fun and insightful. The food is amazing. We particularly enjoyed the cannoli, arancini, and street pizza. The market Street you stroll down is incredible and full of trinkets you can buy as souvenirs. There is also lots of other food you can buy along the way if you wish.
