Not-to-Be Missed Market Tour with Fulvio! - What a fun culinary adventure spending an afternoon at a Palermo market with the energetic and extremely knowledgeable guide, Fulvio. We learned about street food and also about some Sicilian history and sites. Clearly Fulvio knows all the best spots for arancini, pizza, dried fruits and nuts, cannoli, street food, and more! We even spent a little time at a Sicilian coppola hat shop, which was great fun. His enthusiasm for all things Sicilian is infectious. Our advice: Be sure to spend time with Fulvio when in Palermo; you will come away with a deeper appreciation of Sicilian culture and a smile.

Food, Fun & Fulvio - Fulvio is charming, knowledgeable, and professional with a passion to share his pride in his heritage and expertise with everyone. As we wandered through the market, he shared bits of local history, funny stories, culinary tips and delicious samples of food & drink with us. There is no better way to experience the market!

An Amazing Street Food Tour - Fulvio is the perfect ambassador for Palermo. We received some unique back stories about sites. Then we strolled through one of the markets, stopped in unique shops and then tasted some classic street foods such as arancini, panelle, and of course, cannoli and much more. We also stopped in one of the oldest bars in Palermo and drank some Sicilian wine. An additional stop was made at a Coppola store where the Sicilian hats were being handcrafted before our eyes. The tour offers a lot of variety. Plenty of food was provided - all of us left with full tummies. This food tour includes a lovely walk around the city of Palermo with someone who loves his city; Fulvio is a master tour guide.

Best way to start a trip to Palermo! - Fulvio is a natural host, he loves Palermo and that comes through when you do this tour. This is a great tour to book in the beginning of your stay because you will see different areas of the city and learn a bit of history between stops. It was 100% worth it to have a guide through the sprawling Ballerò Market and to know you are trying the best food and snacks. Some of the food sounds a bit intimidating, but it is absolutely delicious. Fulvio also gave us great recommendations for places to eat and drink for the rest of our trip. Grazie mille, Fulvio!!!!

Super tour - Fulvio is a very charming, easygoing host. He showed us historic buildings in Palermo and told the stories behind it. You get to know Palermo through the eyes of a local. You get to taste typical dishes and drinks. So when (not if) we come back and meet again. Grazie mille Fulvio e ci vediamo.

Palermo street food tour with Chef Fulvio - What a wonderful and informative tour with Fulvio. We were a family of four and found Fulvio to be very personable and we enjoyed the food tasting and market place. Chef Fulvio included a little history along with good food and fun. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an enjoyable introduction to Palermo street food.

Street/Market Food - Fulvio was a fun guide. The tour was good and he was full of information! Just know this is not a gourmet tour - it is a local street/market food tour that encompasses foods sold mainly by his friends in the market. The only thing that would have been better is if he would have allowed us to stop and try other things in the market (so we decided to return after the tour). It was fun!!

Fun and engaging tour of street food in Palermo - Fulbright was a super-fun and engaged guide. We walked through a few markets and tried several “interesting” food items. 😂 He also shared some of the history of Palermo and pointed out significant landmarks as we walked around the city. I personally would have enjoyed trying local seafood items that are available in the markets in addition to the options we had. Overall it was a really enjoyable time spent!
