"We had a single day in Palermo before we began an organized bike tour. Michelango was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. He skillfully navigated us around some key attractions. He made additional recommendations for later in the day. We had a great time and highly recommend Michelangelo. "

Wonderful Food Tour!
"We spent our first hours in Palermo with Dario. It was a great experience with the best food. Dario is very enthusiastic and loves Sicilian food, and loves sharing his favorites with his guests. We really enjoyed our time with him. Thank you, Dario! "
"Elena met us at Puerto Nuovo and was on time and very pleasant. Her knowledge and expertise was well worth it!
She gave us a good kickstart to our Palermo experience.
I very much recommend Elena and WithLocals.com"
"4 of us did the 10 Tastings of Palermo tour with Gaetano. It was our 1st visit to the city and wanted to try authentic tastings while getting an intro to the layout of the old town and hear some stories. The street market was amazing - we would never have tried out so many things if alone. Also Gaetano gave wider recommendations about places to visit. We enjoyed Gaetano’s friendly and knowledgable company. I highly recommend the tour - but don’t have much breakfast beforehand! "
"Had a fantastic, well rounded tour with Karolina yesterday. We gleaned many insights to this Beautiful city. Today we visited many of her recommended places “not to miss.” She steered us to a lovely seaside restaurant as our tour ended. Beautiful setting…view of the sea and great food. Choose Karolina…you’ll be glad you did!"
"My husband and I enjoyed our food tour with Dario. He is charming and fun. Good selection to food to sample
Would have been nice to have a glass of wine or lemoncello along the way.

"My tour of the Kalsa quarter with Salvatore was perfecto! I have been to Palermo many times and feel I am a bit more knowledgeable than the average tourist about the history of Palermo and Sicily. Yet this was my first time exploring Kalsa. You can tell Salvatore has a passion for his city and was very knowledgeable about the area we walked through. I was able to learn many new things about the history of the Kalsa and have a list of places to go back and explore on my own. I recommend this tour with Salvatore if you want to get away from the crush of the main Palermo sights and see a side that the locals experience, while learning how the city developed and expanded throughout the centuries.

First Day in Palermo
"Our tour with Fabio was the best way to start our stay in Palermo. The pace of the tour was perfect for us, and we learned a lot that you wouldn’t learn unless you had a guide. We would definitely book Fabio for another tour!"
"We had an absolute great afternoon in beautiful (and delicious) Palermo. Dario really knows the good places to go, tells interesting stories about the city on the side and gives great recommendations. 10/10 can recommend!"
