Excellent-Must Experience Tour - This was our second tour with Fabrizio! We liked his first tour so much in 2017 we rebooked with him for our family trip in 2025. It’s a small intimate group which we like better than big groups of 20 to 30 people. Frabrizio was born and raised in Palermo so very knowledgeable. The food selections are delicious and informative. He also accommodated gluten options for 2 people in our group! He is warm, inviting and funny. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent food tour in Palermo. - Our tour guide was Fabrizio and he was excellent. He met us at our cruise port and walked us into town to meet up with other people who signed up for the tour. Fabrizio shared a lot of history about Palermo, more than other food tours that I have taken. The street food that we had was good as well.
