Experience the best of
Palermo with Withlocals

"I had the best food tasting tour that I've ever been on with Gaetano. He took me on a tasting adventure thru the market and then into the town. Gaetano carefully explained the cultural aspects of the food and how they were to be eaten. By the end of the tour I was too full to eat the "cannolo" and brought it back to the cruise ship. It was the biggest and best cannoli I'd ever had. Grazie mille!"

"We had an amazing experience seeing the sights and hidden gems of Palermo. Fabio was informative, entertaining and very knowledgeable on all things Palermo. Would highly recommend this tour."

"We loved our tour with Gaetano! He’s very knowledgeable of the history and shared amazing food with us. We learned a lot about the history of Palermo as well as visited many gorgeous sites we would have otherwise not seen. Gaetano also gave us amazing recommendations for our trip. It was a great first thing to do to understand the culture at the start of the trip - highly recommended! "

"Like many people have said the best way to start your adventure in a new location is to get it with locals guide. Michelangelo was no exception. We did the highlights and hidden gems tour. I feel like we could have done any tour with Michelangelo and we would have loved every minute just as much. Like the best of the with local tours, at the end you feel like you've made a new connection and have the confidence to explore the city fully. What we mainly concluded was that we had not allowed enough time in Palermo to export the treasures he had introduced us to. For the specifics, this is a vigorous walk which covers a large cross section of Palermo. There will be areas that more than likely you would not have gone in without him. Do the tour early in your trip as there are many destinations which will be pointed out to you but you won't have time to explore. We did this tour in the height of summer so after noon is much better than morning. Thank you Michelangelo!!!!"

"I had the most exciting personalized experience! Dario picked me up on a Vespa and we went to Mondello and had the typical local food and an apperol spritz. Dario was very knowledgeable! I would do this tour a million times again! "

"Loredana made the tour very lively, personal, entertaining and a memorable experience for us. We felt she is passionate about what she is doing. Her stories brought Palermo to our hearts! Just a pity we couldn't do the Catacombe dei Cappuccini. Nevertheless, a definite recommendation!"

"We had the best afternoon with Michelangelo. We ate lots of great food and saw all the highlights of the city. Would recommend! "

"We are a group of four adults in our early 60ies, all of us Italy lovers but none of us had been to Palermo before. We were not sure what to expect of a city whose image is so much connected to suffering and violence inflicted by Mafia. Aurora immersed us into the history and current life of Palermo and opened our eyes to a city of diverse cultures, of civilian courage and transformation. It was a journey more than a simple tour - it was enlightening, fun and truly inspiring! Thank you Aurora for showing us your beloved Palermo and turning us into knowledgeable fans of this city🥰 Thank you for this unforgettable experience!"

"The two of us had a wonderful 3-hour private walking tour around Palermo with Fabio. He taught us so much about old and new Palermo and left us with a much deeper understanding of this vibrant and chaotic city. Fabio is a born and bred in Palermo and his knowledge, pride and love for his home city really shines through and yet he’s also open about the frustrations and challenges that the city faces. Fabio is an expert in languages and history and the knowledge that he imparted to us in three hours was incredible. The three hours flew by and Fabio left us with some great tips about what to prioritise with the remainder of our time in Palermo. In summary, your should jump at a chance for a city tour with Fabio. It will be the best thing you do in Palermo!"

"Really excellent tour with Luca who was very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped guide us to the meeting point where we started the tour. As he was born and brought up in Palermo and studied in London he was the perfect guide with lots of interesting local facts in excellently spoken English. We really felt we'd experience a local's perspective on an very interesting place. Many, many thanks Luca!"
