Exceeding expectations

Innocenzo was a very knowledgeable guide, providing so much more than a food tour. His historical knowledge is extensive and his delivery engaging. The food provided was top notch. Would recommend.

The perfect way to get to know Palermo

We really enjoyed our Palermo Ballaro Market & Street Food Tour with Inno. He was an excellent guide - friendly, knowledgable and relaxed. The experience was the perfect introduction to Palermo, and we sampled some of the best Sicilian food. I would not have enjoyed Palermo as much without Inno as our guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Amazing food and tour guide!

Our guide, Giusi, was incredible!! She was extremely knowledgeable and took us to many places we never would have been able to experience. The food at each stop was amazing, and learning the culture behind each stop made it even more enjoyable! We couldn’t recommend this tour around Palermo enough!
