Palermo

Our first full day in Palermo, and we had Emma as a guide. This was the best way to introduce ourselves to Palermo and its amazing surroundings and flavours. We had such a good time together we ended up going on our own tour for the next 12 hours! Emma was sooo good, she showed us the most amazing places and interesting facts, but also knew when to stand back and just let us enjoy ourselves. We totally recommend this tour and Emma was fantastic!

Emma our guide was outstanding. We decided to upgrade to include drinks on our tour which matched well with the foods we ate.
Emma had great knowledge of all the buildings and monuments we passed by and
we went to a secret spot to eat our final treat which was fabulous. I highly recommend doing the secret food tour as it’s a great way to get to know the streets in the old town of Palermo.

Review: Delicious food and drinks!!

Had a wonderful time with Emma on the Secret Food Tours in Palermo, Sicily. It was marvelously curated and traversed the city. I would have missed these spots! Emma was very knowledgeable and was well acquainted with each of the shop owners we visited.

There is a lot of food on this trip so come hungry and pace yourself. Defiantly worth it!

The food tour was amazing. Our guide, Emma, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to places we wouldn't have visited ourselves. She also gave us insider tips for things to look out for when ordering food. 100% would recommend! 😊☀️

Palermo's food scene is incredible, but where do you even begin? Enter Secret Food Tours and our amazing guide, Emma! This tour was the perfect introduction to the city's vibrant flavors and hidden gems.

From the moment we met Emma, her passion for Palermo and its food was infectious. Her knowledge and presentation were top-notch - engaging, competent, and full of lively anecdotes that brought the city's history to life.

But let's talk about the food! We dove headfirst into deliciousness, trying local favorites we never would have discovered on our own. Every stop was a taste sensation, from the freshest street food to hidden trattorias. We also enjoyed refreshing local drinks, making the whole experience incredibly well-rounded.

Safety was never a concern. Emma expertly navigated the bustling streets, making sure we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the tour. It was a truly delightful way to explore the city.

The best part? We discovered hidden alleyways and local haunts that would have been impossible to find on our own. This tour isn't just about the food (although that's amazing!), it's about experiencing Palermo like a local.

Do yourself a favor and book this tour! You won't regret it.

It was our first experience doing a food tour but it was a pleasant one! Our host Emma was great in showing us around Palermo and guiding us to nice spots like the Ballaro street market and a secret garden in the city centre. The food was great and had a good variety to it, with a nice sit down lunch with some wine too. If you're going to Palermo, don't hesitate to book a tour with Secret Food Tours.

Review: Great food and walk around Palermo

We very much enjoyed our walking Secret Food Tour with Emma. The food was varied and interesting, Emma explained the history, ingredients and cooking style of each dish in an informative and sometimes humorous manner.
We would probably not include the drinks upgrade in future.
Thank you Emma
