      Great evening

      "We had a brilliant couple of hours with Dario. We’d not have tried the street food or wine without being with Dario and it was brilliant to get a bit of an insight into Palermo and life in Palermo!!"

      Don't Hesitate to Book With Dario

      "Dario was prompt and communicated early and ahead of time with us. His knowledge was deep, and he educated us not only Palermo food, but also its history and culture. Most importantly, the food tour was excellent and he was more than happy to tailor to our tastes. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and generally a delight to be around. Don't hesitate to book with Dario!"

      Informative tour

      "We had a great tour with Loredana. We tried foods we might not have, we saw all the top sights and learnt extra bits of history from a local. Loredana’s English was excellent, good fun to be with and we would highly recommend her. "

      Best Walking Food and City of Palermo Tour

      "We’ve been on several walking food tours in our travels to Europe. Luca’s tour of Palermo was one of the best, if not the best. He initially asked about our interests and the types of food we liked and if there were any particular sites we were interested in. He then took us on a tour of the city of Palermo and its food. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and introduced us to Palermo’s favorite foods. He made our first first day in Palermo truly memorable and we recommend him highly to any future visitors to Palermo for any tour that he offers."
