Salvatore is your guy!
"Salvatore (“Salvo”) introduced us to the historically rich city of Palermo in the best possible way! His deep knowledge of the city’s history and culture kept us completely engaged as we explored its many fascinating neighborhoods. Salvo’s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and his excellent English made everything easy to follow and enjoyable. He also shared great insider tips on what to see next and where to eat — the kind of local advice that makes a trip truly special. We only wish we hadn’t been booked up, because it would have been wonderful to experience even more of Palermo with him! Highly recommended!"

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.

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.

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 booked Salvatore for a 3 hour private walking tour of Palermo. We had a terric mornong learning about the history and sights of the city, and Salvatore tailored our tour to ensure we did not replicate our sightseeing with a food tour we had booked for next day. A great ambassador for his city and a very knowledgable guide. Thanks for a great introduction to Palermo!"
"Salvatore is an amazing guide to Palermo. This tasting tour gave us a great sampling of local foods and Salvatore was terrific in explaining where they came from and why they are popular in the region and Sicily. He also knows an incredible amount of history for Palermo, Sicily and Italy. If you want a great tour and and a fantastic guide to foods and the historical part of Palermo - Salvatore is a great choice!"
"Salvatore was a fantastic guide! Right from the start he was interested in what kind of tour we wanted and how he could flex it to our preferences - including where the location we would finish so it was most convenient for us. He spoke not just with knowledge and passion about the food and the region but wanted to get to know us so he could add in things as we went. This made the afternoon feel really special. "
"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. "
