Best street food tour in Palermo - We had an amazing time on our Palermo Street Food & Market tour with Giusi as our guide. We were very impressed that she had such extensive knowledge about the history and ingredients of the food we were tasting. We did not leave hungry! These were full portions we got to try and it was all delicious! The market was busy and bustling and so fun to experience. Hands down the best tour we booked while in Palermo, highly recommend!

The Perfect Food Tour! - We had the perfect morning tour curated by Giuisi and innocenzo. Not only did they provide history on Palermo but history with the food as well. the local drinks, cannolo, and cafes were a unique addition unlike any food tour I’ve done in the past. They were so knowledgeable and friendly I didn’t want the tour to end. Since finding out the locations Eating Europe provides tours, I have booked another in Lisbon.

Buonissimo! - Absolutely fantastic tour of authentic Palermo street food. Our guide Giusi (so?) was passionate about our experience and Sicilian food and culture. The tour was a lovely blend of history, local tradition and current food trends. There was clearly great care and consideration sourcing the stops based on the experience, the way each place sources ingredients and families that have been making the food for generations. We ate WAY too much. Every stop was delicious. This is a wonderful way to have a friendly, local experience in Palermo.

I loved how personal it was - We had an amazing time! The street food tour of Palermo totally blew me away, easy 5-star rating from me! Having a local show us around, spilling all the juicy stories from the owners while we chowed down the best of Palermo's food, was great fun. They seriously knew all the right spots and the tastiest treats in town. But what really made this tour shine was how personal it felt. I mean, we got to roll up our sleeves and help make fresh ricotta! Plus, meeting the owners, hearing their family stories – it was like getting a VIP pass to Palermo's food scene.

Highly recommended!! - Excellent food tour to immerse oneself in Italian culture, lasting just over 3 hours. We toured different places, sampling authentic flavors while learning about the origins, meanings of words, history, and creation of each dish. Our guide was a local, always ready to answer any questions. A great option to quickly get to know and immerse yourself in the flavors and customs of the wonderful city of Palermo

An excellent evening of food, wine and history in Rome - We did the evening food and wine walking tour with Marco Lori. Marco was an excellent guide and was very easy to talk to and understand. He has a wonderful knowledge of Italian, and international, wine and selected an excellent line up of Italian wines for us to drink on the walk. The selection of restaurants highlighted the great food in Rome near the Tiber and in Trastevere and Marco provide some great historical information about the areas during the walk as well. An excellent way to taste Roman food away from the tourist traps.
