Stupendous tour with extra help - The street food and history tour with Fabrizio was exceptional. We could really tell that he is passionate about the history of Palermo and Sicily. He provided some excellent information. The street food that he provided at the Copp market was a taste of heaven. It was a wonderful tour and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Palermo. Fabrizio also provided this transportation from the airport with above and beyond service. Our airplane was delayed twice and Enzo our driver found us without a single problem. He was very kind and friendl. They gave us many good local recommendations.
