Overview

Welcome to the top ranked food tour in Italy based on TA reviews! Join a relaxing street food walk around Palermo with a passionate local guide. Take a journey through the scents and flavours of Capo and Vucciria markets and explore their backstreets where the real Palermitan soul resides. See some of the top attractions along the way like Teatro Massimo and Piazza San Domenico. Taste the best selection of daily street foods, such as ‘arancine’ (stuffed rice balls) and ‘panelle’ (chickpea fritters), as well as a glass of local wine, seasonal dessert (cannoli or ice cream) and other challenging samples like the renowned "pani ca' meusa" (veal offal sandwich). This tour is limited to 10 participants, ensuring you an open interaction with the tour guide, the local vendors and the other travelers.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
