What an amazing informative tour! - We had a fantastic experience with our very knowledgeable guide Ignazio. If you’re afraid it will be too much sugar it isn’t. It’s just enough to taste with a whole lot of historical and cultural information about Palermo included. It’s been one of our favorite tours in recent memory and we travel a lot. Highly recommend this super high quality unique tour.

Fun tour in Palermo - We had a great time on our gelato and pastry tour! We learned so much about the history of Palermo and lots of fun stories about the origins of many Sicilian treats. Some of the places were local hotspots we never would have known about otherwise. Ignacio was a perfect guide!

Fantastico - Giorgio, our guide, was knowledgeable and attentive. He shared lots of interesting history of the area and of i’s food culture and took us to some excellent places to sample some delicacies. His English was a excellent, which was important to us as our command of Italian was limited. We highly recommend a tour with him.

An Unforgettable City - If you want to understand a country…its culture and its people…you study its history and it’s food. I visited Palermo, Sicily with my adult daughter during her spring break as a teacher. The foodie walking tour was to get a taste of all the wonderful pastries and gelato that Palermo is known for….but our guide Giorgio showed and taught us so much more. My favorite part was listening to this amazing storyteller who in three hours gave us, an all too brief, but incredibly personal view into the history of this amazing city. There are many different food tours out there…but this is one of the best and worth every dollar… Thank you Giorgio for sharing Palermo with us…I was in love with your city the moment I stepped off the plane and after spending the morning with you I loved it even more! Grazie!

Giorgio was fantastic! Lots of tastey treats!! - Wonderful sweet food tour! Our group came from a Royal Caribbean cruise and was just a 15 minute walk from the port to meet up with the tour guide. He was super friendly and knew many locals in town throughout our tour. He showed us many great hidden places that we would never have seen without his help. Will never forget those gelatos!!
