"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! "

10/10 Would Recommend
"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! 😊😊"
"We did the 10 tastings of Palermo with Dario and it was wonderful. We tried lots of local cuisine plus some funky ones after he made sure we were okay time that, and we got some steps in while exploring the city. Highly recommend!"
"Dario was super knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming, he took us to some local places in Palermo where he enjoys to eat and drink - which were all fantastic! We had a great time and the food was incredible! "
