Come Hungry - It was a fantastic food tasting tour. My favorite snack was the rice balls. You took us to such authentic locations where the locals eat. It was so nice to walk the uncrowded streets and see a less crowded different side of Palermo. Carla was a wonderful guide and shared so many interesting stories about the food culture.

Family fun - Knowledgeable guide walked us through the heart of Palermo giving tips on all the best places to eat and see. Very informative and safe in every way. We made 4 stops and sampled the best street food Palermo has to offer. Thank you Frederico.

Excellent - Stefano & Sheridan - We went on a traditional food tour in Palermo with Carlo and it was a really excellent experience. The tour took place calmly and without haste, allowing us to enjoy every stop and every taste. In all the places visited the food was freshly prepared, never heated or ready, and this made a big difference in the quality and authenticity of the experience. Carlo proved to be a very prepared and passionate guide, able to take us to places rich in history and tradition without ever making us feel like “addressed customers” or tied to agreements with the locals visited. His explanations about food and cultural context were clear and interesting. A tour absolutely recommended for those who want to discover Palermo through its authentic flavors, in a genuine and non-touristic way.

Excellent Food and Experience with Pietro - The traditional Palermo street food tour with Pietro was an excellent experience! We did it on our first night in the city, and it was a great way to get acquainted with the city’s layout and history. We got to check off a lot of the street food that was on our list, and everything we tried was of good quality. We recommend doing this “traditional” version of the tour because in addition to the more casual street food, it includes two pasta dishes at a sit down restaurant that were our favorite bites of the tour. Pietro was a super nice guide who shared his own perspectives on growing up and living in Palermo with us. A must do for foodies visiting Palermo!

Learning about Palermo’s food history. - Carlo was pleasant, knowledgable and easy to talk to about the local cuisine. We walked through quaint neighborhoods and stopped at local eateries. Each place we stopped had delicious food and there was a history behind each place which added to our experience. This tour was well worth the money.

Poor experience - We had booked a food walking tour but my roommate got sick and we could not go. We contacted the tour guide and asked for a refund or to reschedule since we were going to another city in a couple days. He said to contact the company and the company said to contact the tour director. Total runaround. Not good PR.
