Experience City Tours in 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."

"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!"

"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!!"

"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. "

"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"

"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 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.
