Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We did the 10 tastings of Palermo with Dario and it was wonderful. We tried lots of local cuisine plus some funky ones after he made sure we were okay time that, and we got some steps in while exploring the city. Highly recommend!"
"Dario was super knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming, he took us to some local places in Palermo where he enjoys to eat and drink - which were all fantastic! We had a great time and the food was incredible! "
"We booked a last minute tour with Luca. He was punctual and very polite. Luca showed us the highlights of Palermo and gave us ideas and recommendations for the rest of the evening. He was very informative about the history of Palermo and patient with our children. Thank you for a fun afternoon and great learning experience!"
"Luca was great! We have two kids and different dietary preferences, but Luca made sure everyone was happy. Highly recommend. "
"We had a great city tour with Loredana - she showed us the highlights of Palermo and gave us ideas of how to best spend the rest of our time. She informed is about the city’s history, culture and delicious food. We also appreciated the explanation she gave of the history of the Mafia issues in the city, helping us to understand its history, particularly from the early 1980s to 1992, and the strong anti Mafia spirit in the community since. Loredana is enthusiastic about her city, and she was very welcoming, and a pleasure to spend time with. She also gave is some restaurant recommendations and very kindly offered to help with any other advice needed. The tour was the highlight of our time in Palermo."
"Luca tailored a thoughtful tour for me in the city of Palermo. He was courteous, prompt and very knowledgeable. It was great to have a guide who grew up in this colorful and storied place who lovingly and critically spoke about the past, present and future of each landmark and noteable place that we walked. He also gave me a great sense of the local flavors and when we stopped for fresh juice in the market and pastry at the convent! Luca is kind, professional and smart. I am so glad I was able to book him and learn about his city."
"Excellent knowledgeable guide, very flexible and worked with our family to keep the kids engaged during our tour. "
"We arrived from a 9hr flight from New Jersey to Sicily and hit the ground running with a tasting walking tour. Luca was amazing, starting at one of the oldest and most famous food markets, he tailored the trip to our liking and meandered through the streets and hitting then major parts of the city. We ended up walking all over the city (so be ready for that) and he pointed out other places he has lived and enjoys to socialize at. Luca was a true local and enjoyed showing us his city. Thanks Luca. "
"I thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5-hr walking tour through the Kalsa quarter in Palermo. Fabio is a great tour guide with an extensive knowledge of history, religion, politics, and architecture of his hometown Palermo. He told captivating stories about many sites off the beaten track that I would not have discovered myself. I highly recommend Fabio as your private tour guide in Palermo. "
"Karolina was very welcoming and knowledgeable about Palermo. It was wonderful to be able to tell her what we were interested in and ask her questions as we walked through the streets tasting treats and understanding the development of the city. We learned so much from Karolina and knew that we had made a great choice selecting her as our guide. "
