    Francesca was a fantastic guide - sharing stories of food from her life and sharing unique places to experience this type of food for ourselves. Highly recommend!

    The tour was led by an excellent guide named Anna Maria. She was full of great information and anecdotes about Palermo and its history. We went to two markets and several restaurants. All were outstanding. My favorites were the watermelon custard filled-Pastry and the anchovy panzerotti. Highly recommend this tour.

    1st time for us to join a Culinary Backstreet tour, but what a brilliant way to see the city, warts and all. An experience not to be missed and we will certainly look out for Culinary Backstreet tours in future. A big shout out for our guide for the day who made the day fun and informative.

    Maria Luisa was a wealth of knowledge about Palermo, its languages, its history, its art, its residents, and its food. You will NOT go hungry on this walk. It was great to see both the Capo Market and the Ballaro market, and eat our way through a bit. We also got to try plenty of food off the markets, including some of what Palermo is famous for, like the spleen sandwich, grilled intestine, arancine, sfincione (tomato, onion, and cheese pizza, and seven-layer cake. Off the beaten path, we particularly enjoyed the non-food stop at the marionette theatre. This was such a neat, unique experience that we went back for a show that night. We wouldn't have found this without Maria Luisa. Thank you, Maria Luisa, for a great experience - both in eating and getting to know Palermo a little bit!
