Amazing street food tour of Palermo, Italy! Eat and enjoy like a local! Fun, great food, and awesome company. What a wonderful experience. Come to explore with them. Thank you! Book early to avoid disappointment!
Tiny

Absolutely loved this food tour! Being shown around by a real local is exactly why I do tours like this. Our guide was a total pro—fun, knowledgeable, and full of great stories. I really liked that they weren’t afraid to take us to the more adventurous side of Sicilian food. Such a great way to experience the real Palermo!
Tim

It was good. Informative about the local history and current changes in the area. Our guide had been a server at local restaurants and had an appreciation for both the ingredients and methods used to produce the food here in Palermo. We were offered a true diversity of street foods ranging from the advertised to the unexpected.

Loved all the different street foods. Felt a bit rushed through the actual markets.
Dianne

It was a great way to see Palermo and taste the street foods. There were lots of foods to try and our guide was very good and explained nit only the food but Palermo life.
Janet

Great tour along authentic gems of Palermo with historical context of the food. Loved it, I recommend you try at least a bite of everything!
Greta

We loved Vinz!!! He is so funny and has so much personality, and he’s proud of it! We tried some delicious food - some traditional like arancina but others I hadn’t heard of, like focaccia bread with anchovies or panchetta with spring onions. We learned a lot about the traditions behind the food, the Sicilian folklore, the neighborhoods we visited, and modern history of the mafia. Would recommend this tour to anybody! What a great way to spend the day learning about Palermo.

Shared a wonderful evening with a superb guide and a small group of 10 others. Alessandro was a the perfect guide who had us laughing while giving us the history of Palermo as we went from stop to stop! Thank you for an unforgettable evening while in Palermo! If you enjoy a history lesson while trying delicious street foods, then I highly recommend this tour to you!

We had the best time with Vinz on the Streaty street food walk in Palermo! He was an absolute ace guide – friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect mix of drinks, delicious local food, history, and culture, with some amazing street art along the way. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend who knew all the hidden gems. Such a fantastic way to end our Palermo trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting – it’s a must-do!
