Additional Information

With our guided strolls, we bypass the typical historical tours to show you the city from a local perspective. Experience a tour that alters your way of traveling to make it more about the individuals you encounter, and less about merely sightseeing. Our city experts (Lokafyers) are brimming with enthusiasm for their hometown and love to share their insight and viewpoints. Given that Lokafyers are not professional tour guides and only conduct tours infrequently, they offer a bona-fide and personalized experience, akin to a friend walking you around their city. By the conclusion of the tour, you’ll be adept at maneuvering through the city and will be certain that you are equipped with all the knowledge you require to maximize your visit.

  • Lokafy tours provide a general overview of the city with practical information from a local’s perspective, not detailed historical facts
  • In case travellers would like to include a visit to an attraction, they would need to cover the cost of entrance for themselves and also the Lokafyer (local guide)
  • Tours are entirely personalized, please provide the start time, meeting place and information about you so that we can organize the tour
  • This is a walking tour. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • Children below 3 years old are free of charge

Better than most walking tours - A very enjoyable experience, our guide was lovely and chatty and told us so much about living in the city. There was plenty of the traditional tour experience as well so we were delighted with it all.

Excellent and interesting tour and tour guide - Our host Lydia was a very informative, fun and friendly guide. She made time to get to know us, she was considerate with the pace of the tour and she also took us to places which we would never have seen without a "locals knowledge". The tour was very interesting and a great way to start our brief stay in Palermo. Lydia also spoke excellent English. Shane

Palermo tour - Melissa was very knowledgeable and friendly. She listened to what we asked to see and put together a great afternoon. We also now have lots of places to visit without her today (the following day).

A fantastic view into this exciting city. - Our guide, Paulo, not only pointed out the main attractions of Napoli, he showed us the less known, secret nooks and crannies of this special city where pizza was born. He loves the city and his passion is contagious, and yes, we caught it. Highly recommend getting to know your way around the town before you venture out on your own. Many thanks, Paulo.

Nice to meet a local right away.... - Very good guide. Guide lived right in town center, knew local places, was very professional. Very helpful and spoke good English, having lived some time in USA. Tour was a good brief intro to Palermo and then allowed us to explore on our own.
