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! "
"Luca was great! We have two kids and different dietary preferences, but Luca made sure everyone was happy. Highly recommend. "
"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. "
"A tour with Dario is a must for your time in Palermo! He was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about Palermo and Sicily which added to the great eating experience we had. The street/market food on the walking tour was the best food we had all trip! It's a great way to see the city and Dario was a fantastic guide :)"
"The family had a great time with Gaetano! Very knowledgeable and nice sense of humor ! "
"Dario nailed it with a wonderful tasting experience. Leading us through food markets, to an outdoor BBQ and unique cafe's. We enjoyed learning about the life and history of Palermo through the eyes of a resident. If desired, Dario will share some daring food choices unique to this region, which we greatly appreciated."
"Dario was a great host, warm and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and took us to the places we would not have found on our own. The tour was at a great pace, nice and relaxed but we saw (and ate) a lot. The food was all local and very diverse; it was great to try so many things we would not normally have eaten. \n\nFull Credit to Dario - we would definitely recommend! "
"\nMy friends and I are so glad that we picked Luca as our guide. Not only he is knowledgeable about food and the way around Palermo but he is also a very wonderful person, so easy to talk to that my friends and I were so comfortable the moment we met. And his punctuality to the appointment time we arranged was so impressive. We tasted a variety of food starting off with the Sicilian coffee, then fresh squeezed orange juice and tried that very fragrant small round so sweet strawberries. And had a delicious late lunch at Alcolisti per Passione Vucciria where we had caponata, chickpea fritters, calamari and crispy small fish. A meal is never complete without a sweet end to it. And we sure devoured ourselves to La Kala Pistacehio e Mahdorla ice cream and cannoli. That Friday afternoon of May 16, 2025, my friends and I had a full belly and a great time spent with Luca. I highly recommend Luca to friends and everyone. Thank you Luca for making our day."
"Dario was a great host to introduce us to the street food and streets of Palermo. After our time with Dario, we felt more comfortable to explore on our own. He showed us hidden gems that we never would have experienced on our own! "
