A city tour tailor-made for us.
"We were very lucky to discover Palermo together with Salvatore. He loves his city and enjoys it when his guests also succumb to the charm of Palermo. His sense of what we were most interested in and what information we needed was unique. If you want to discover Palermo with a friendly insider, we would recommend Salvatore. Thanks for the nice time."

Best introduction to Palermo!
"Salvatore is not only a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide to all things Palermitani, but he is charming and funny, and speaks English beautifully. It was a very pleasant experience to spend three hours walking with him through beautiful Palermo. Just the right amount of time. He showed us many things we would not have seen in the guidebooks. All four of us were very glad we took the tour. Highly recommend!"

Food tour
"Karolina was very personable and very well informed about both the food and history of Palermo. We thoroughly enjoyed a casual relaxed walking tour that took us from delightful food markets and stalls to various restaurants ending at a renowned nunnery with the most exceptional dessert cannoli treats. We had the opportunity to sample a wide range of cuisines including meat, fish and vegetable based along with fresh squeezed (in front of you) pomegranate and other juices. We were all four of us, well and deliciously fed! "

Come on an empty stomach!
"Me and my wife came on our honeymoon to Palermo and started it off with an incredible food tour with Dario. The dishes we tasted were not only incredibly tasty but deeply engrained within the culture and history of Palermo which Dario confidently and easily explained to us as we explored the beautiful city and it's markets. This tour will leave you so stuffed to the brim you'll be ready for an incredible happy food coma. Thank you for your incredible tour Dario and starting off our holiday in such a brilliant manner"

Lovely introduction to Palermo!
"Karolina was very sweet to pick us up from our Air BnB in Capo- as we had a rough start to our vacation- our flight from Dallas was 3 hours late and so we missed our connection to Palermo and had to buy another flight on a different airline! Karolina made our 1 day in Palermo hassle free:) We learned so much about this incredible city and thoroughly enjoyed her company! Thanks so much❤️"

Excellent evening in Palermo
"I meet Dario in front of a church and we started with a first drink outside a very crowded bar. Next stop was on an old market place in Kalsa (part of Palermo) at a Bar&Restaurant where we had the second drink and nice original street food. Last stop was also outside a nice bar with the final drink. Drinks was Beer, Wine and Spritz. During walking through Palermo center, Dario explained me a lot about the city and the island. Was very good and I can recommend to everybody. "

Choose Fabio!
"Fabio is the quintessential tour guide: deeply knowledgeable, adaptable to the concerns and needs of guests, and keyed into the nuances of English. His great sense of humor and storytelling expertise were much appreciated! I peppered him with questions and he indulged my curiosity kindly, creating a warm and pleasant experience. He’s a gem."

A great overview or Palermo
"Luca met us at the small bar restaurant where we just tried some arancini and we started the tour from there. He took us through amazing streets of Palermo, explaining what is like to be a Sicilian and the problems Sicilians faced throughout the history being ruled by so many different rulers and omg what a multi layered (literally) history that is. I am so impressed by this city, its architecture, churches, thin balconies :). So many churches. So many! Since it was our lucky day and quite a few churches were open he took us inside of some and they are so magnificent. Luca has many interesting stories to tell and he took us also into the back streets to show more of the off beaten path places, some that would be dangerous to walk through some 30 years ago. He showed us good bars and restaurants to go to, where to get the best ice cream and cannoli, how to navigate the streets and orientate between the mountains and the sea. I can warmly recommend Luca to pick as your guide through this magnificent city."
