Description

Embark on a flavorful walking tour through the vibrant streets and bustling markets of Palermo, Sicily, where authentic street food and local culture await. Guided by a passionate local expert, you’ll explore Capo and Vucciria markets, discovering the city’s hidden corners and lively backstreets along the way.

As you stroll, you’ll sample Palermo’s most beloved street foods, including arancini, panelle, and the adventurous pani ca' meusa. Each bite is paired with a glass of local wine or beer, offering a true taste of Sicilian tradition. The tour also includes a seasonal dessert—cannoli in winter or gelato in summer—for a sweet finish.

Your journey passes iconic landmarks like Teatro Massimo and Piazza San Domenico, blending cultural highlights with culinary delights. With a small group limited to 12 participants, you’ll enjoy personal interaction with your guide, fellow travelers, and welcoming local vendors.

The tour lasts about three hours and begins at the main gate of Teatro Massimo opera house, where your guide will greet you with a red umbrella and bag. Please arrive ten minutes early for check-in, as the group departs promptly and late arrivals cannot be accommodated.

This experience is designed for adventurous food lovers and is adaptable for vegetarians and pescatarians, though not suitable for vegans or those with severe allergies. Secure your spot now to savor Palermo’s authentic flavors and immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant street life—spaces fill quickly!
