Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Salvatore (“Salvo”) introduced us to the historically rich city of Palermo in the best possible way! His deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture kept us completely engaged as we explored its many fascinating neighborhoods. Salvo’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and his excellent English made everything easy to follow and enjoyable. He also shared great insider tips on what to see next and where to eat — the kind of local advice that makes a trip truly special. We only wish we hadn’t been booked up, because it would have been wonderful to experience even more of Palermo with him! Highly recommended!"
"Salvatore is an amazing guide to Palermo. This tasting tour gave us a great sampling of local foods and Salvatore was terrific in explaining where they came from and why they are popular in the region and Sicily. He also knows an incredible amount of history for Palermo, Sicily and Italy. If you want a great tour and and a fantastic guide to foods and the historical part of Palermo - Salvatore is a great choice!"
"Salvatore was a fantastic guide! Right from the start he was interested in what kind of tour we wanted and how he could flex it to our preferences - including where the location we would finish so it was most convenient for us. He spoke not just with knowledge and passion about the food and the region but wanted to get to know us so he could add in things as we went. This made the afternoon feel really special. "

"We had a very nice guided walk in Palermo. He knows a lot about the city, the history, all the nice places. We could really recommend it! "
"Our group of 4 enjoyed Salvatore's tour even more than we thought we would. We didn't know much about Palermo before our day trip, so we so happy he provided such a good mix of history and local knowledge of the city, Sicily, and his neighborhood. We highly recommend this tour with Salvatore and hope to book with him whenever we come back to Palermo."
"I have taken this tour with Salvatore twice. The first time I was traveling alone and was so impressed with Salvatore's depth of knowledge, love for his city and his kindness and warmth. All of these qualities make him an outstanding tour guide. When I returned to Palermo with my husband, I knew I wanted him to experience this tour with Salvatore. He loved it AND I appreciated doing this tour again because it is hard to absorb so much rich history in one experience. I cannot recommend him more highly. When I return to Palermo, I hope he is offering another tour experience is is available as a guide to other parts of Palermo. Grazie mille, Salvatore. "
"A big thank you to Salvatore for a very interesting and comprehensive tour! Together we explored streets of Palermo that took us outside the main hustle and bustle. Throughout our tour Salvatore shared facts, history and anecdotes bringing Palermo to life for us! We learned so much and felt we had the best possible introduction to the city! "
"Dario was such a knowledgeable and fun guide to the food and culture of Palermo. This was a special way for us to begin our time in Sicily—understanding and connecting with a Palermo local and eating delicious food!"
"Our hostess was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared that knowledge very effectively. Her passion for her profession and for the city of Palermo was off the charts good!"
"Like many people who’ve reviewed Luca, he is as friendly, kind and accommodating as they say! Actually more than the food & history tour, as educational/fascinating/yummy as it was, our conversations with him were what we enjoyed the most. They were genuine and meaningful. Also, the first gelato place he brought us decided to close that day (haha!), but he immediately took us to another gelato shop. Using that opportunity to walk us along the coast, revealing more history, telling more stories, and we had AMAZING gelato! And this may be important to those who are in our demographic, we are two girls in our twenties who know nothing about Sicily. Luca made us feel comfortable & also safe. Took good care of us, always checked on our hungry levels & our energy levels which we actually deeply appreciated. Would recommend him to anyone! Thank you, Luca! 😊😊"
