Experience tomorrow the best of
Palermo with Withlocals

"Our precious few hours spent in Salvo’s company commenced at the Fontana del Garraffo; a fitting tribute to both the abundance of Palermo’s lifeblood and Salvo’s love for his home city. Traversing the Kalsa Quarter, absorbed by Salvo’s knowledge of history, both ancient and modern, and much entertained by his wit and charm. Learning about the ‘golden basket’ of Palermo’s ‘blessings’, wandering through the park of ancient magnolia trees, overlooked by the shadows of the Spanish Inquisition and then delivered to the best and oldest coffee house in the city. Simply the perfect start to our stay. Grazie Salvo - ci siamo divertiti cosi tanto! "

"We had a great tour in Palermo with Loredana. She showed us the highlights of the city centre in a nice and fun way. Can warmly recommend her as the guide to choose."

"We loved walking around Palermo with Salvatore! He is so friendly and charming and knowledgeable. We didn’t have as much time as we would have liked, but he made it work, and he also helped us find secure parking. He could not have been a better host and guide. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with him."

"Dario nailed it with a wonderful tasting experience. Leading us through food markets, to an outdoor BBQ and unique cafe's. We enjoyed learning about the life and history of Palermo through the eyes of a resident. If desired, Dario will share some daring food choices unique to this region, which we greatly appreciated."

"Aurora is a very pleasant person and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the fascinating history of Palermo. Thank you"

"We are a group of ageing siblings who, once a year, travel together to an European city to experience the history, culture and definitely food. We have used WithLocals in Rome, Athens, Istanbul and Naples and so we asked Luca to guide us round Palermo for a day and a half guided tour of the main sites and hidden gens, including great food. Luca was perfect! His knowledge, choice of sites to visit (including food!), his enthusiasm and love of Palermo, plus being an excellent, interesting and funny guide. We could not have wished for a better, happier introduction to Palermo, its history, culture and food - including some amazing icecream brioche rolls! We even had full storms, thunder. lightening and a lot of rain one day, but that did not dimish Luca's interaction and we didn't even notice how wet we got because it was still a fabulous experience. We would all highly recommend Luca and if we come back to Palermo, which we hope to do, will definitely book Luca again. Thank you Luca!"

"Dario was a great host, warm and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and took us to the places we would not have found on our own. The tour was at a great pace, nice and relaxed but we saw (and ate) a lot. The food was all local and very diverse; it was great to try so many things we would not normally have eaten. Full Credit to Dario - we would definitely recommend! "

"We had a really enjoyable couple of hours wandering the streets of Palermo with Luca. He has a real love for his city and it was brilliant to spend time seeing it through his eyes. Luca provided great recommendations for eating and drinking and we were very grateful for his advice. Thanks to Luca we had one of the best meals of our trip in a restaurant we would never have found on our own. Luca is really knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He dealt with our many questions with patience and good humour!!"

" My friends and I are so glad that we picked Luca as our guide. Not only he is knowledgeable about food and the way around Palermo but he is also a very wonderful person, so easy to talk to that my friends and I were so comfortable the moment we met. And his punctuality to the appointment time we arranged was so impressive. We tasted a variety of food starting off with the Sicilian coffee, then fresh squeezed orange juice and tried that very fragrant small round so sweet strawberries. And had a delicious late lunch at Alcolisti per Passione Vucciria where we had caponata, chickpea fritters, calamari and crispy small fish. A meal is never complete without a sweet end to it. And we sure devoured ourselves to La Kala Pistacehio e Mahdorla ice cream and cannoli. That Friday afternoon of May 16, 2025, my friends and I had a full belly and a great time spent with Luca. I highly recommend Luca to friends and everyone. Thank you Luca for making our day."

"Dario was a great host to introduce us to the street food and streets of Palermo. After our time with Dario, we felt more comfortable to explore on our own. He showed us hidden gems that we never would have experienced on our own! "
