A tasty orientation to Palermo's historic center - After a work trip to Sciacca, I was able to fit in 2 1/2 days of sightseeing in Palermo. Key to getting my bearings, finding my way around Palermo and figuring out where I wanted to spend more time exploring was this walking tour that also included a great selection of Sicilian street food snacks. The Capo Market visit was great, very colorful, and tasty! Our guide Fabrizio is a Palermo native which was nice bonus. We got some Palermo slang vocabulary lessons in addition to the history of the area, and the food. Tips for people considering this tour: plan to arrive hungry, and don't book a meal immediately afterward. This afternoon tour was my lunch. Carry wet hand wipes to help tidy up between stops. Wear comfortable shoes - lots of walking around the historic center area of Palermo. There are a few tops along the way with seats to rest which was a good thing as it got hot/sunny in the afternoon.

Palermo in history, with Maurizio at the helm - Visit to the center of Palermo with Maurizio to guide us. We learned everything that we don't read in tourist guides, in particular we learned to "live" Palermo taking into account its history, its architecture, its merits, and its problems. And a good extra because that very day (April 25th) I was semi-injured, but Maurizio made sure to wait for me given my limited walking.

Excellent and plentiful - Traveling tour with Maurizio. Very prepared and patient. He explained everything to us by making historical digressions, but without leaving the Sicilian current affairs of the moment. Highly recommended. We also thank Fabrizio for the advice on other activities that we wanted to explore further. Monica from Bologna

A birthday treat. - The hotel is very nice and central. Only a few minutes walk to town centre. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was excellent . We got parking next to the hotel . Overall I had a very pleasant stay. I'd mark it 10 out of 10.

Great professionalism and competence - I organized a small weekend for my parents in Palermo, I booked this guide to visit the city, they were enthusiastic both for the competence and the availability demonstrated. Palermo doc. Highly recommended!

A great experience! - I spent a month at the monsoon riverside hotel and it is such a beautifully run hotel. Led by their manager Sopot his team takes care of you. among the chaos of the area Sopot provides a welcome oasis! I will stay here again!

Great tour - Fabrizio was a fun and knowledgable guide. The food on this tour is also lovely. Overall a great experience.

Enjoyable walking history and food tour of Palermo. - Enjoyable walking tour which included both history of Palermo and visit to the very busy food market. Fabrizio was knowledgable and entertaining as a guide. Very passionate Palermitano

Loved the market and the monuments - Fabrizio was a great guide, he goes above and beyond to make sure we got what we wanted and needed. The market he took us to was the best one in the city. He’s knowledgeable and his English is perfect. We would certainly recommend his tour.

Great Street Food Tour - Some history of Palermo, explanation of the sites, a tour of the cathedral and a multitude of anecdotes that gave my husband and me a feel for the geography and culture of Palermo and Sicily. And of course a major taste of delicious street food: arancine (rice balls), panelle (chickpea fritters), crocche (potato croquettes), cannoli and sfincione (a type of pizza). Fabrizio delivered all of this in an informative and fun tour. A delightful way to spend three hours. It is a highlight of our trip. We highly recommend this fabulous tour with Fabrizio!
