    I had a fantastic food tour with Emma through all kinds of interesting and historic sites in Palermo. The canollo, arancine, pasta, wine, and more were all so delicious…by the end, I was completely stuffed. I highly recommend Emma - the tour with her was like being with a dear friend, visiting her home town.

    We booked a private food tour for just two people and met our guide Emma at the agreed meeting point. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was great that she grew up in Palermo, so she knew all the places and was also able to answer many of our questions about Palermo itself. The individual stops were well chosen, and the food was fantastic. All the shop owners were very friendly, and Emma always made sure we didn't have to wait in line. We booked the additional drinks package, which is absolutely worth it and highly recommended. We would unreservedly recommend Emma and the private food tour. It is particularly worth mentioning that all the food was freshly prepared for us, and Emma was able to tell us a lot about the preparation methods as well as the shop and restaurant owners. An absolute insider tip.

    Emma was a fabulous guide! She explained everything and knew the history. She is a local born gem! The tour was very organized, and Emma even helped me find something I forgot to bring from the states. The food was phenomenal, and I loved the hidden gem at the end! What a pleasure …highly recommend ! Ask for Emma to guide you❤️

    Thank you for a wonderful walking tour, Emma! We had a fantastic experience with the guided tour through Palermo, while enjoying local food and taking in the rich history. We started at 10:30AM and we recommend the morning tour so that you can make your way to a seated lunch before closing the day with espresso and treats. Highly recommend booking with Emma!
