Unesco monuments, colorful markets and unique flavors in Palermo
A fabulous mix of food and cultural highlights
A great tour with a mix of culture and food. Fabrizio was really helpful recommending a place to park near the start of the tour and he was charming and engaging on the tour itself, which was a perfect mix of food and cultural visits. The cathedral visit needs your shoulders covered so take a scarf or buy one at the entrance. We enjoyed watching the arancini being made in the market and the rest stop at this restaurant was very relaxed and welcome in the heat, with beer and water freely available. Do watch your pockets in the narrow market: one of the other tour participants had their phone and wallet scanned through his back pocket but thankfully he felt it happening and he was able to cancel his card before it was cloned and used.
