    A True Local with a Love for Palermo

    "I was new to the city of Palermo and wanted to explore it with someone who truly knew it well—and Fabio did not disappoint. We walked through the streets discovering both well-known landmarks and hidden gems. Fabio was extremely knowledgeable, not only about the city itself but also about the rich history behind each place we visited. Having Fabio by my side was incredibly helpful, allowing me to learn while discovering this beautiful and fascinating city."

    Great Fun, Food, and Laughs

    "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! "

    Good introduction to Palermo

    "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."

    "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.

    A perfect afternoon with Ambra!

    "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."
