Experience the best of
Palermo with Withlocals

"We truly enjoyed our tour with Salvatore. He was so knowledgeable and told us so much about Palermo that we would never have know. He knew so much history which really helped after the tour as we walked the streets. I wish the tour would have been on our first day. We had a little hiccup as google maps and our hotel told us the wrong location. But I called him and we were able to find him easily. I 100% recommend this tour."

"Started with a beautiful day! Dario met us at predetermined location. We started out promptly with our first tasting, sfincionello from a street vendor. Toured the market with all the fresh produce, seafood and more. Had tastings of potato dumpling, arancini with meat and cheese, panelle and more!"

"We had a wonderful time with Salvatore last evening. We were a party of four. He took us to his favorite haunts and gave us great information about history and about food & wine. Salvatore is very friendly, funny, and likeable. He made sure we were all having a good time. We highly recommend!"

"No need for many words - don’t miss it! He’s an excellent guide and great person. "

"We had a nice time on our food walking tour with Dario. The variety of foods was plentiful, and we got to see a lot of the city. Would’ve liked a little more time at the market to shop, as we didn’t see anywhere else to shop after that. Luckily I was able to quickly grab some spices and sun-dried tomatoes! We found souvenirs and food related items were incredibly inexpensive in Palermo versus other stops on our cruise. Dario was very friendly and showed us lots of yummy new things! Thank you!"

"The Tastings of Palermo tour with Karolina was a highlight of our Mediterranean cruise. We enjoyed walking through the city’s neighborhoods, eating caponata, pasta, and pizza in the marketplace, then having fresh squeezed pomegranate juice, arancini, and finally the best connoli we ever had. Karolina was fun, personable, patient, and informative. She loves Palermo and it shows! I feel like we made a friend!! Don’t hesitate to book with her - just do it. "

"To say that Michelangelo was an excellent would be such an understatement it would be insulting. Booking this tour with him was by far the best decision I could have made for my single day in Palermo (and I deeply regret only giving myself one day here). I had the joy of booking Michelangelo all to myself and it truly felt like I’d hired a friend for the day to show me around rather than a stranger. He read my adventurous vibe right out of the gate, always discussed the ingredients and my thoughts about trying something new, gave me the opportunity to have small portions so I could try as many things as possible before feeling so full I was going to burst, and was conscious of my desire not to waste food where possible. He gave great recommendations but also let me pursue food interests outside those recommendations and he pushed me to try new things in a friendly, no-pressure way. He took more circuitous routes when I expressed an interest in history and architecture, and never rushed me to eat faster or made me feel awkward about eating while someone watched you lol. We spent an amazing afternoon having out, eating great food, talking about travel, recommendations, culture, language, and whatever else came to mind. I had time after the tour to explore more of the city and by that point I felt like I had so much more context for the people and sights, and was so comfortable, that I was dancing around the city (sometimes literally - no regrets!) jamming out on my AirPods and taking photos for several hours while I walked off all the food. I could not recommend spending an afternoon with Michelangelo highly enough! Come with an open mind for new food and an about stomach and you will have a brilliant and unique experience in this gorgeous city. Thank you so much Michelangelo for spending such an amazing day with me! I loved every moment of it! (Even that really weird kinda-gross soda that you like. Upon further reflection, I stand by my assessment that it’s not awful, it is drinkable, but man is it a weird-bitter-sweet flavor!) Until we meet again, ciao!"

"I think a tour with Fabio is a ‘must do’ for anyone visiting Palermo. His knowledge, enthusiasm, sense of humour and personality are exceptional. We saw things and learned things that we would never have found by ourselves ( we are still laughing about the ‘fountain story!’ ) We will book Fabio again next time we are here and recommend 100%. Thank you again for such an enjoyable tour. "

"Great tour around Palermo, Sicily with Karolina, great local and historical knowledge, a lovely person too, very friendly. Thanks again Karolina."

"Dario was a perfect companion with whom to explore Palermo,- funny, interesting, passionate and knowledgeable. Our time together sped past as we learnt not only about local food specialities but also about Sicilian wines, history, religion, culture etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend Dario as a guide."
