Taste Palermo’s street food, markets, and history on a small-group walking tour with arancine, panelle, cannoli, and local stories.
“The tour operator asked me to change my time, which I did. I arrived at the location 10 minutes early and tried to contact the tour operator because it didn’t seem like the spot was right. I waited until the start time of the tour for a response and to find the guide as they described. Since there was no reply, I left. Extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service.”
Taste arancini, impanate, seafood, granita, cannoli, and liqueur while exploring Ortigia with a local guide.
“This was an incredible tour!! Giuseppe was the most generous, knowledgeable, and helpful host. He shares so many details about the Ortigia/Siracusa history and the amazing food. He brought us to humble but delicious locations, to historic sites, to beautiful hidden gems, and fed us thoroughly. Most of all, Giuseppe helped with my mother who is in a wheelchair.

Review of Balestrate’s family-run olive grove tour, with Sicilian food, wine, olive oil, vinegar, and limoncello tastings.
“We had an amazing time at the olive grove tour today! Francesco and his grandparents are incredibly lovely and welcoming. Francesco is so knowledgable and was happy to answer any questions we had. He also was really helpful when we struggled to plan our journey as we don’t have a car. He kindly picked us up from the bus station which we so appreciated. Thank you Francesco and family, we can’t wait to try the oil and balsamic vinegar we bought! 🫶”
