Palermo on a plate: Mamma's Soul Food and Wine Tour

Angelo our tour guide knew literally everyone as we visited street markets and enjoyed wonderful stories about the culture and history of Palermo! Delicious, fun and informative!

Great way to spend half a day. Lots of walking and tasty bites. Our guide Alessandro was very knowledgeable and engaging. Strongly recommend!

Alessandro is a fun and interesting guide. I highly recommend this tour. Everything was delicious and Alessandro was so nice and very helpful. He’s very knowledgeable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Must-Do Food Tour!

This food tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, offering a perfect mix of local favorites and hidden gems. The food was delicious, diverse, and well-portioned—definitely come hungry!

Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area’s culinary scene, sharing fascinating history and fun facts along the way. The pacing was great, giving us time to savor each bite without feeling rushed.

If you’re a foodie or just looking for a unique way to explore the city, this tour is a must. Worth every penny—I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Alessandro provided my wife and I with the most memorable experience imaginable. He brought the diverse cultures of Palermo to life! He gave us historical insights into the influence of many other countries’ cultures over the past centuries that have formed the wide range of foods within Palermo’s local markets. His personal network of the owners who made the street food allowed us to have warm receptions from all of them, as well as behind the scenes look at how they operate as family businesses over many generations. Alessandro’s expertise as a chef made each food stop very interesting as we learned not only about Sicily’s unique food, but also the preparation and cooking techniques that made the tasting experience so special for us. He also has a very fun and engaging personality allowing us to relax and soak in the way of life of the people of Palermo.

Marco was the best guide! The tour was seamlessly planned and included everything you need. The guide had very good knowledge of the history and culture of Palermo which is a big bonus. Make sure to do this tour one of your first days, as you will also learn what to do the following days and tips on how to stay clear of tourist traps

Had a wonderful street food tour with Alessandro! Good eats, insightful stories behind each delicacy, and he provided connection among us all, as well as humor. Would highly recommend him as he was clearly known to many of the street vendors and had stories of their backgrounds to tell. Grazie, Alessandro!

Alessandro was an excellent guide, he gave us more than a culinary tour but immersed us in the culture of Palermo. He made us feel safe and comfortable in the markets. An excellent tour that we would highly recommend to others.

I scheduled this as a first night of arrival activity. Was excellent. Ale was a great guide. Variety of foods. Thank you.

My husband and I started out with no expectations for how the street food tour was going to go. Marco set the standard incredibly high for the rest of our trip. It was obvious that the vendors and him had a great relationship together and we got to try a bunch of things. We learned about how the city was built and how tourists might have the wrong perception of Palermo. The group dynamic was wonderful and added to the experience :)

We would go back to Italy specifically to try another Streaty tour they offer in another city. We would recommend to those willing to try anything and everything in a new city.
