Magic day and great food with local perspective. - Wow. What a great tour. Fabrizio was amazing sharing so much knowledge. Being a local I got different perspectives and learned so much. The food we tasted was delicious. You find out so much from tasting food about the culture and traditions of the locals. Highly recommend this tour. It exceeded my expectations. Superb.

Happy we webt - We enjoyed the walk around a part of Palermo we hadn’t visited before. We particularly enjoyed the opportunity to try the spleen sandwich. It’s something we wouldn’t have tried without the tour. Fabrizio was our guide and shared a lot of knowledge about the city

It doesn't get better than this! - If you've never seen Palermo through the eyes of Fabrizio you've never seen Palermo. I have never enjoyed a tour as much as this one. Do yourself a favor. Book this with him!

Take this tour! - The Capo Market and the Cathedral. Fabrizio was so knowledgeable about both and made their histories and current status come to life.
