"We had a fantastic time on our food tour with Dario! He’s a great guy who can banter with the best of them, so we all had a lot of fun. The food was great, as was his explanations of the neighborhood, the food culture, and Italian rivalries. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon and we left completely stuffed. Dario also was very flexible with ensuring that our one non-seafood-eating friend had plenty to taste too. We highly recommend choosing Dario! "
"We had Gaetano as our tour guide. He is knowledgeable on all topics about Palermo and Italy. He told us a lot more than just about the food. We got to taste all the special foods of the area and learned the difference of some of it between Palermo and Catania."

Passionate tour guide
"Salvatore was exceptional! He listened so carefully to our interests and customized the tour especially for us. When we travel we often use Withlocals because we have always been extremely satisfied with our tour guides. Salvatore became an additional to our superb team of guides. We were especially touched by the passion for his Palermo and would highly recommend Salvo as your future guide. Grazi Mille. "

Private & Personalized Tours in Palermo with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Palermo, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Palermo spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Palermo.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Palermo, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Palermo awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Palermo, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Palermo. Get ready to explore like a local!
"We initially booked the tour with Valeria but she wasn’t available finally, so we had the tour with her friend, Ambra. Ambra was so nice and interesting and as a bonus, she spoke a very good French! We saw so many beautiful places and learned a lot of things about Palermo and Sicily! We recommend this tour without hesitation!
Grazie mille for everything Ambra!! ☺️"

Salvatore is highly recommended!
"Wow! You will love touring with Salvatore! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Palermo in great detail. He knows the ins and outs of the area off the beaten path that you will only find with him to describe every element. He is friendly and charming and will also recommend good restaurants if you wish. Best experience in Palermo!"

Completely Wonderful Tour
"Salvatore took us on a terrific trip around the Kalsa area of Palermo in October 2025. We had asked him beforehand to give us a quick guide to the best things to see in Palermo, and he kindly spent some time before the tour doing just that. The tour itself was really interesting and showed us parts of the city we would never have stumbled upon if left to our own devices. On subsequent days, we went back to the area to revisit sites in more depth.
Salvatore was simply the best guide. He has friendly, helpful, informative and generous with his time. We can't recommend him highly enough."
