What to expect
Palermo
See Palermo through the eyes of someone who lives and loves it—wandering intricate alleyways, vibrant souks, and sun-drenched piazzas. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a flexible, personalized experience shaped entirely around you. Before your walk, your host will reach out with a short questionnaire to understand your interests—whether you’re drawn to street food, architecture, ancient history, or hidden corners. Here are some stops you might explore:
Stand at the crossroads of Palermo’s historic districts in this iconic Baroque intersection. Surrounded by curved facades and symbolic sculptures, it’s the perfect place to begin exploring how art, politics, and neighborhood identity shape the city.
Admire the theatrical “Fountain of Shame,” where marble figures twist in bold, expressive poses. Your host will reveal how this once-scandalous fountain became beloved, reflecting Palermo’s evolving sense of beauty and rebellion.
Step inside this dazzling church where gold-leaf mosaics shimmer beneath domed ceilings. Blending Byzantine, Arab, and Norman influences, La Martorana offers a vivid glimpse into Palermo’s layered history of rulers, faiths, and aesthetics.
Mercato di Ballaro
Let your senses lead you through Palermo’s most energetic street market. From sizzling arancini to Sicilian slang echoing through the stalls, Ballarò pulses with the sounds, smells, and stories of daily life.
Piazza Marina
Wander beneath towering ficus trees along winding paths. Once a stage for public executions, this leafy retreat now whispers history in the shadows of its peaceful corners.
Tucked into a tranquil square, this 13th-century Gothic basilica offers a moment of calm. Step inside its quiet interior, where soft light and ancient stone invite reflection and connection.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
