This tour was a great way to learn about Palermo and to try some good food! Annalisa is a friendly and knowledgeable guide, definitely recommend!

Annalisa was a wonderful tour guide. She explained what stops we were making, what we were having, and the history behind it. She also pointed out attractions that we would be passing or stopping at along the way. Recommendations on what to try at other places on our own time was a plus. There was a lot to fit in the 3 1/2 hours. Great tour! Thank you!

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Annalisa. We learned about Palermo, had several stops with in total more than 10 local street snacks and dishes. Annalisa gave us an extensive explanation on the origin of all these typical dishes. She learned us also about some Palermo historic places and typical local habits. She is a terrific guide, we all enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed the evening on the town with Annalisa and our group. The food at each stop was delicious, and the walk around town was enjoyable and informative. Highly recommend.

The tour was so much fun! We really felt like we got to see a side to Palermo that we wouldn’t have if we had walked on our own. Annalisa was very helpful and educational, while also having a great sense of humor. I would love to come back and do it again next time I’m in Palermo!

Walked to 4 different food locations. Mentions wine in tour Maybe 2 partial glasses of wine. Our guide, Carlos, could only talk loud enough for 4 people to hear and it was a group of twelve. He should have had a transmitter with us having a receiver so all could hear and understand. We were disappointed in the experience.

Anna Lisa was amazing! I couldn’t recommend her enough! We had so much fun and ate delicious food! :)

The tour around different areas of Palermo was pleasant and the guide was nice. The ordering was seamless and it is very well organized. The lowlights are the explanation of the cuisine and the history context being very shallow. It will be enjoyed by those who are satisfied with free tours, filled with unconnected pseudo historical anecdotes. The food portions are generous but it can also be found with a bit of online reasearch and walking around. All in all it is correct but overpriced.

Annalisa was an incredible tour guide. It was out first time in Italy and she gave us so much insight and information for our stay for the week. She looked after us so well and took us to places off the beaten track, where the locals go. It was a fabulous evening with history and nibbles along the way. The spleen sandwich was first on our tour so maybe have a light meal prior if this is something you don’t want to try. All round a great experience and I’m glad we did it at the beginning of our holiday as it set us up with great pleases to go for the rest of our trip. Thanks Annalisa!!!

We had a great experience with this tour! We missed our scheduled tour date due to the late arrival in Palermo but the company was very nice to re-book us on the next day tour with no additional charges. Our tour guide Carlo was very knowledgeable and courteous, and the food samples were excellent and covered a range of dishes from the appetisers to desserts. Altogether, we highly recommend this tour to other travelers
