Great fun! Must bold with Vinz as your guide!!!
A bit of history as well as plenty of food. I tried lots of things I wouldn't have otherwise known to try. Our guide Vinz was a lot of fun.
Informative, entertaining, and most of all delicious!
This was an amazing food tour.! The meeting point was easy to find and so was our guide Vinz with his red umbrella. Vinz led us thru the streets of Palermo telling us the history and stories of Palermo that made it all come alive. He is smart, funny and he can sing and dance into your heart. The food was thoughtful, local and more than expected. I am a vegetarian and each stop had a delicious option for me! example bruschetta/aranchina/eggplant pizza to name a few! Be sure our meat eaters were very happy with their offerings as well. All stops were ready for us excellent seating and friendly. A number of stops offered beer and wine. Try not go eat much prior to the tour you are going to sample amazing local food and lots if it! The walk was casual and easily doable for all. Vinz made sure we all knew how to find our way back to our hotels before departing very caring. I am a solo traveller and felt very welcome and included in our group. lI have travelled extensively and this was the best food tour yet. Thank you Vinz for one of the best food tours!
Vinz was a wonderful guide, and the food is fantastic
Our guide, Vinz, was hilarious and kept our entire group engaged throughout the tour. Also learned about the history and culture with food in Palermo
Obi-VINZ-Kenobi was awesome! Created a real memorable experience along with introducing us to iconic Sicilian food. 100% would recommend and do again.
Obi Vinz kenobi was great!!! Would do this again!! Tried a lot of different food and drinks! Amazing guide and group!!!!!
Alessandra was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. The tour led us to places we hadn’t seen before and offered the opportunity to try local foods. Well worth it! Thank you!
Great guide, nicely paced and great food 👍
We had an amazing 3-hour food tour with Alessandro in Palermo! He was super friendly, funny and incredibly authentic. You could really feel his passion for the city, its food and its culture. It wasn’t just about the food – it was about experiencing the real Palermo, discovering local specialties and having a great time along the way. Everything felt so personal, relaxed and genuine. We laughed a lot, ate delicious food and got to know Palermo from a completely different perspective. Thank you so much, Alessandro, for this fantastic experience! We enjoyed every minute and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palermo. If you want great food, local insights and an authentic experience with someone who genuinely loves what he does, this is the tour to book! Grazie mille, Alessandro! ❤️🍷
A most excellent tour with plenty of local and delicious food and drinks. Mariafranca was informative and loads of fun. Highly recommend
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible way to experience Palermo! Alessandra was an amazing guide who took us beyond the typical tourist spots and gave us a genuine look into the city’s history, culture, and incredible street food scene. We visited some wonderful local spots, including Palermo’s oldest bakery and oldest bar, while sampling everything from wine and arancina to green onions wrapped in bacon and the famous pani câ meusa (spleen sandwich), which, surprisingly, was delicious! But what made the evening even more memorable was the company. I started the tour with seven complete strangers and walked away feeling like I’d spent the evening with old friends. There’s something pretty special about sharing good food, a little wine, and plenty of laughs with people you might otherwise never meet. Alessandra was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and authentic. It was the perfect mix of history, food, and getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Palermo’s street food culture. If you’re visiting Palermo, I absolutely recommend this tour. Come hungry, bring an open mind, and don’t be afraid to try the spleen sandwich!
Dario went above and beyond. At each stop and along the way, he took the time to provide extra information and education about Palermo that was both historical and cultural, even if not related to the food. It felt like a tour of Palermo with the food as a plus. Portions were more than reasonable, all the food was tasty and we had more than enough to drink of beer, wine, and water at each location.
Excellent time. Allasandro was fun, entertaining, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Food was a good variety. We had a fun group.
Alessandro was fabulous!!! Great stories and history about Palermo in addition to terrific food. So glad we did this tour!
Mariafranca was a wonderful tour guide. She was so knowledgeable. We loved all of our stops. Food was delicious and we learned so much about Palermo too.
Excellent night! Guide Simone was very 2”welcoming and so knowledgeable! Variety of food was incredible! Wow!
It was great to get off the beaten path out of the tourist area and eat what locals have as street food. Plenty of variety, lots of food and a lot of info about Palermo from a passionate local guide, Simona. Definitely recommend this tour.
Our guide, Di Christotalo Vincenzo, was fantastic! So much energy, so manu stories, a memorable experience.
Great guide, good information easy walk and good variety
I’ve done many walking tours and a few food tours, and this was a great combination of both. Dario took the time to greet us and was never in a hurry or rushed. We visited six or seven spots and had mostly very tasty food. Best part is that he took us to places filled with locals that I would never have found on my own. And Dario was filled with information about all things Palermo. It was a great evening
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great way to experience Palermo on a short stay! We were only in Palermo for one night, so this tour was the perfect way to explore the city by night while trying foods beyond the usual things we would have chosen ourselves. Alessandro was friendly, welcoming and easy to find with his umbrella and bag. A couple of small suggestions: the meeting instructions say to meet on the steps between the golden lions, but the gates are closed for the evening tour, so you actually meet outside. It would be helpful to clarify this. We also would have appreciated a little more flexibility with the food and drink options. I chose not to try the spleen sandwich but wasn’t able to have even a plain bun or alternative, and there was some inconsistency regarding whether Coca-Cola was available as a non-alcoholic option. Overall, though, a great experience and an excellent choice if you have limited time in Palermo and want to experience the city and its street-food culture in one evening! 🇮🇹
Great night strolling and eating and drinking. Fun and relaxed pace.
Great fun, good food and interesting.
Really warm and knowledgeable guide! A great way to see the town and taste local street foods, with a side of history too!
Vinz was so full of life and great fun. He had the group really engage and have fun together! He put his heart and soul into it!!
We had a great time. Our guide (Alexandro) was very accommodating, funny, charming and informative. Would highly recommend.
Apart from a wee hiccup at the beginning where the link took us to the wrong location (close but not correct!) everything was great. They did answer the phone and direct us so no harm done. Our guide Vincent made the tour with his enthusiasm, charm, passion and knowledge. The food stops were varied, no we didn’t like everything but we went for the experience which is what we got and nobody left hungry.
A great opportunity to learn about Sicily tradions and history with a glass of bear and great street food. Our gide was Dario.
Dario was an excellent guide! Fun and funny. Knowledgeable too.
Great experience and well worth the money. A really good way of seeing the city and learning about history and culture, also a really good way of trying local foods and there was plenty of food and drink stops along the way! We were full by the end!!
Sadly, I do not remember the name of the young woman guide we had. However, she was fantastic! She was engaging with all members of the tour that evening. She gave alot of information about the various sections of Palermo and the history behind the dishes we ate.
Our guide Simona was excellent. We visited restaurants very much off the beaten path (non-touristy), ones we would not have found were it not for the tour. Simona provided the history of the foods, as well as the ingredients and how the dishes were prepared. The tour afforded enough time to visit with the other guests and to ask questions. Each stop provided as small or as large a sample as desired and by the end of the evening, everyone's appetite was more than satisfied.
Vinz speaks perfect english and was a great host!
Vinz was a great and fun tour guide. The variety of food was great. Was fun for all ages. Would definitely recommend
The tour was a good starting point to our Sicily tour. It was not just about street food but a lot of the city and culture in general too, loved every bit of it and would recommend this to everyone who is in Palermo and wanting a glimpse into the food and culture of the city.
If you want an authentic Sicilian street food experience, this is it. Maria Franca, our leader, was bright, informed, enthusiastic and professional. We had so many delicious and varied tastings, each with a tradition and history. I make a habit of doing a food tour in every new city that I'm in and this one goes down as one of the best ever.
Mariafranca was an excellent. Deep knowledge of Sicilian history, culture & of course food. Perfect pace. Lively with moments to savor.
Alessandra was a wonderful guide and it was fun meeting all the other people on the tour. We also enjoyed the history along with the food information. The food pushed me out of my comfort zone and that was a good experience.
It was the best tour ever! Can't recommend it enough, I've been recommending it to anyone I come across. The food is delicious, the guide is the most entertaining, enthusiastic, fun person ever🤩 Vinz is the best, and the tour is not to be missed.
Great experience with wide variety of food and drink. OBI ONE Vinz was very entertaining and gave an interesting narrative on the history of the city and its food.
Our tour with Mariafranca exceeded expectations. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of Palmero food culture helped make this a most enjoyable tour.
A fun and engaging street food experience. Guide very informative and fun, really enjoyed the opportunity to try real local food. Enjoyed most of the food, not so much the spleen sandwich, but a genuine opportunity to try things I otherwise wouldn’t have.
Mariafranca gave us an unforgettable food tour through the streets of Palermo. Her warmth and friendly demeanor combined with her knowledge of local favorites made for a great tour. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting Palermo ..food is one of my favorite ways to explore and experience a new culture! PS. Go hungry!!
Had such a wonderful time! Obe WAN Vinz was such a wonderful host! Funny, informative and so full of energy! The places we visited were excellent, food great and the stories fascinating! I would really recommend discussing Palermo with Obe Wan!
Great energy from Vinz and very knowledgeable. We left full of food and fun.
Very informative and enjoyable tour. Good authentic food. Our tour guide Simoni was excellent. She was easy to understand and pleasant.
Great experience going on a food tour with Dario. We tried a variety of delicious local foods, with an extra option for the brave ones. We had the best arancina and ice cream on this tour. Dario taught us a lot about the history and monuments of Palermo.
