Frequently Asked Questions

Is a food tour in Palermo worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Palermo and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What is the most famous food in Palermo?

It can be hard to decide what to eat in Palermo with so many delicious dishes, but many locals and visitors say their favorites are either arancini or pasta con le sarde.

Are tourists welcome in Palermo?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Italian tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Palermo.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully. It’s found when you support the family-run trattorias in Trastevere, help keep the ancient fountains pristine, and learn to navigate the beautiful, organised chaos of daily life. This is the authentic Palermo experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.

Do the tours accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets?

Vegetarian-Friendly Tours but vegan, gluten-free, or kosher options may be limited. Please share dietary restrictions upon booking for best accommodation.
