Walking food tour - We were a group of 12 ranging from 8 to 74 years old. Fabrizio was amazing and truly knew Palermo inside and out. The added food tasting in the market was so fun! It was the best arincina I have ever had in my life. We learned so much about our Sicilian culture, and he also made it fun for the kids! Our group loved it and highly recommends to anyone visiting Palermo!!

More than food walking tour - Meet up was tricky for us as many people are pushing excursions as soon as you depart, once we found our guide everything was smooth and as advertised. The cathedral was magnificent, Fabrizio was a wealth of knowledge lots of stories and information. Highly recommended
