Stroll through history. - This is an easy and delightful stroll through the historical center of Palermo with the lovely guide Aurora. She explained the history and culture of the area along with local folklore and a walk through the food market.

Super tour for orientation to Palermo - This was a great way to learn about Palermo. Our guide, Aurora, was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the history. It oriented us to the city and provided us with the information we needed to help plan the remainder of our time in Palermo.

Cathedrals, Quattro Canti and Cannoli - Fun tour with Bianca in Palermo. We visited Teatro Massimo, Piazza Pretoria, Quattro Canti and several other sites/attractions. Our favorite was having a cannoli in the courtyard of a former monastery. The cannoli was freshly filled to order and the best we'd ever had. We ended our day at Palermo Cathedral (must see). It was an educational and interesting tour. Bianca was a great guide.

Outstanding and fun guided tour - Delia is such a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and love for her home city of Palermo. She led us to so many wonderful experiences, starting at the Quattro Canti, followed by the Cathedral, and then the superb Royal Palace and Garden, including the incredible Palatine Chapel. We concluded our tour walking through Capo market, where we happily returned for lunch. A superb morning, highly recommended!

Experience Palermo from a local - Experience Palermo with a born & bred resident of Palermo. Our guide Alessandro is very knowledgeable and passionate and is an excellent host. As he did not have an afternoon tour he extended our tour to 3+ hours and took us to a local food outlet popular with locals. Alessandro went out of his way to ensure we had a fabulous experience

Nice Walk, But Lacking History or Insight - Our guide was incredibly kind and friendly, but I ended up learning more about her personal life than about the city itself. If you’re looking for a tour that offers history or insight into Palermo, I’d suggest choosing another option we honestly couldn’t figure out what this tour was supposed to be. Even the other three people in our group asked afterward, “What kind of tour was that?” We wandered around town, saw a few spots, but gained virtually no understanding of Palermo’s history or culture. I’ve taken countless walking tours across different cities — including Taormina and Ortigia on this same trip and this one felt entirely off. Ironically, we learned more about Palermo from our food tour guide earlier in the day. Walking with a local can be wonderful, but travelers book tours to learn about the stories, the architecture, the traditions — not just to stroll around.
