- jeremybD8287TQ0 contributionsFun and unforgettableFabrizio was extremely responsive and able to accommodate my wife and I on a short notice. He prefers to keep the groups small and intimate, which is good, because to see the interesting places you’ll want to see, you may have to navigate some crowds. He adores the beautiful city of Palermo and is intimately familiar with local history; he happily shares that history and it provides an interesting backdrop for what you are looking at in the moment. Then there’s the food. Wow. We skipped a lot of crowds and somehow found ourselves with front row seating for an excellent culinary experience (again, thanks, Fabrizio!). He challenged us to try foods we were unfamiliar with and we were glad that he did. The tour was fun and simply unforgettable.Written May 20, 2023
- rsk13330 contributionsGreat Tour of Palermo’s Sights and TastesFabrizio did a great job introducing us to the sights and tastes of Palermo. Though we’d visited the Cathedral on our own the day before, Fabrizio shared information and history that is not I n the guidebooks. We strolled down seemingly nondescript streets that are, in fact, rich in history. Plus we ate well. A great tour!Written May 10, 2023
- Compass149991015360 contributionsA tour into the heart of PalermoFabrizio was an exceptional guide, a true professional, full of interesting details about the places we visited and very attentive towards the whole group. We ate interesting food and had a really enjoyable tour. Grazie mille. PamelaWritten May 1, 2023

Fabrizio is a gem. His good humor, historical knowledge, frankness, and willingness to share interesting and helpful cultural tips made for a very pleasant two-hour trek around historic Palermo. While street food is not our favorite, we'd still recommend the tour as a nice intro to Sicily and Palermo -- with some yummy snacks.

If you are going to Palermo, a food tour with Fabrizio should be the first thing on your list! He will show you the important parts of the city, tell you about the history, and share with you classic Sicilian food. We booked this trip on our first day, which meant we knew what we wanted to order during the rest of the trip. Fabrizio is so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He made it fun for the kids and was very thoughtful when the weather wasn’t perfect. He even helped me push a stroller when he thought it might be challenging. He was very nice and truly does his best to make it a positive experience. We couldn’t be happier with the tour. Thanks Fabrizio!

Fabrizio was a funny and informative guide. He gave us all the details of the city whilst explaining the different traditional foods of Sicily. The samples of food each had a different story and a unique taste. Surrounded by the buzz of the market Fabrizio kept us entertained. We really enjoyed the walking tour of the Palermo giving us all the food insights we needed.

This tour is fantastic! Fabrizio, the guide, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and humorous. He even gave us recommendations for where to eat later on and told us about events happening in the area during our stay. The experience is well worth the cost and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Palermo. Definitely one of the best parts of our trip!

The tour was the perfect help in discovering Palermo - the historic city, its monuments, the inhabitants with their daily life, with their habits. During the tour, Fabrizio revealed many interesting stories about the visited places - the ghost of Teatro Massimo, la meridiana in the Cathedral, life of Santa Rosalia, Beati Paoli, Trinacria symbol of Sicily etc. The Capo market is a very picturesque place and the selected street food that we tested gave a good representation of the Sicilian gastronomy. Fabrizio was an incredible guide, able to captivate all the visitors in the group. He recommended other places worth to visit in Palermo and helped us ( me, included ) , as a friend , in logistic issues. Our tour took place in a rainy, windy day, but it remains for me the best memory of Palermo,
