Great tour, combining some historic sites and local street food. Fabrizio was an excellent guide - knowledgeable, informative, funny and a good communicator. Very willing to answer all questions, before, during and after the tour. I would recommend this tour.

Fabrica provided us with an enjoyable and informative tour of Palermo. We also enjoyed wonderful samples of food along the way. His story about how they drive and park their cars was hilarious

Fabricio did a gread job. Touring the tour we learned a lot of the buildings and background stories. A highlight was the food market where we got the chance to taste the local street food. But always ask what's in the dish if you're not a fan of innards

Maurizio è una guida preparata, gentile e simpatica. Ti guida per i vicoli di Palermo facendoti immergere nella storia e dandoti riferimenti e spunti interessanti per approfondimenti. Noi abbiamo prenotato un walking tour mentre eravamo in transito con la crociera. Assolutamente consigliato, prenotate senza timore, non ve ne pentirete.
