Food was ample and a nice experience. Fabrizio was knowledgable, passionate, and humorous. Three hours is a good length of time for a food and history tour.

This tour was a great way to experience and taste Palermo. Fabrizio, our guide, was knowledgeable and offered several humorous insights into the Sicilian way of life. The foods we tasted were delicious and the site a we visisted were historic.

Great guide. I think it was geared a bit more to the food and less to the history than I expected. We did however learn a good amount, tried a variety of foods, and were happy we booked this tour. Part of the tour is through the Capo market, which is really interesting. It can be hard to hear while there, but our guide did an admirable job of making it work. We would do this again.

Our guide, Fabrizio, was amazing. Being from Palermo, he was very knowledgeable and entertaining, and he kept it to a comfortable pace. The food was good, although the description on the tour said a beer, wine, water, etc. would be included, but only beer and water were offered. The city is not as clean as so many others we've seen, and the scooters and cars going down the very narrow streets was dangerous and unnerving!!
