Palermo Food and Wine - Juicy was our tour guide. She was awesome. We visited authentic and tasty restaurants where we tried local cuisine and Sicilian wines. The tour lasted about 3 hours. Juicy was recovering from a cold, but she managed to provide us with an insightful and wonderful tour of Palermo. Best pizza I have ever had on this tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

Mauro was an exceptional guide - Let me preface this by stating that I have done both the Rome and Florence tours 10 years and maybe 7 years ago. The Palermo guide, Mauro, was exceptional in his history and story telling and made the evening very enjoyable! The best guide out of all three tours. The quality of the food was not as good as the other two tours. Pizza as your main meal in Palermo,compared to bistecca in Florence or various pasta dishes in Rome, just doesn’t compare.
