Amazing tour, thanks Inno!

We had a fantastic time on this tour and would highly recommend! The tour is a great blend/balance of food, history, and culture. Innocenzo (Inno) was a great guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, and kind; he really made the experience special and easy. The tour also gave us a lot of background and context on WWII, the history of Palermo, and certain things we noticed around the city but didn't fully understand until Inno explained the context. This food tour has made us want to do more tours like this in the future. Grazie mille!
