Yummy Palermo! - Guisi was so knowledgeable about the city of Palermo and the food, his story of dishes, etc. Her passion for the city, the people, and the food made for a very special tour of Palermo. Great personality and a very fun tour.

Excellent tour with an amazing guide! - I've been to Palermo many times, but I had never done a formal tour. I'm thrilled that I finally decided to sign up and explore new places with a local guide. I absolutely loved it! Giusi was knowledgeable, has a great personaliry, and gave us an amazing tour. The food was delicious (and plentiful) and the wine was excellent. Highly recommended!

Strongly Recommend - Absolutely phenomenal experience! Our food tour in Palermo with Innocenzo was one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the very beginning, Innocenzo struck the perfect balance between guiding us through the vibrant streets and markets, and offering deep, thoughtful insights into the history and culture of Palermo. What made the tour so memorable was how seamlessly he wove fascinating historical context into each stop — whether we were tasting street food in the heart of Ballarò or standing in front of centuries-old architecture, Innocenzo brought the city to life through his storytelling. He managed to keep the pace moving so we never felt rushed, yet there was always time to pause and really appreciate what we were seeing (and eating!).

Do it - Our guide was Benedetto. He was amazing and gave info on the town. He also answered any addition questions we had about the lifestyle here. Do not eat before this. The food adds up to two or more meals! Everything was delicious!

Great way to spend an evening in Palermo. - Really nice informative evening regarding Palermo and it’s food, Benny was easy going , knowledgeable and humorous and I think we were lucky that the other two couples on the tour were good company too, I would recommend an early lunch as you don’t want to go feeling remotely full, choice if red or white wines offered and both were delicious and the food enjoyable.

10/10 recommend!! - Giusi was incredible! She’s a wealth of knowledge about the food, history and culture of Palermo. The tour felt more like exploring Palermo with a local friend than a cheesy tour. Truly enjoyed it, 10/10 recommend. Grazie mille, Giusi!
