      What you can expect

      • (only in Italian) We'll explore and introduce you to Palermo's historic centre on a 3-hour walking tour led by an expert guide.

        • You'll hear the millennia-old history of an extraordinary city that was once a capital, with its mysteries and secrets, admiring unique monuments such as the Teatro Massimo, the Cathedral, the Quattro Canti, and the Fontana Pretoria.
        • We'll pass through the ancient Arab market of Capo and stop for a few minutes to sample Palermo's famous street food or enjoy a refreshing Sicilian orange juice.
        • We'll head to Palermo Cathedral, a UNESCO jewel embodying centuries of history. Here, different architectural styles—Arabic, Norman, and Gothic—create a unique and majestic dialogue. In addition to admiring the interiors rich in history and mystery, you'll hear from your guide the tales and legends of kings, queens, and historical figures who shaped the destiny of this iconic place.
        • Afterwards, we'll walk along the Cassaro, Palermo's oldest street. Along the way, you'll admire the monasteries, churches, and palaces that have made Palermo famous worldwide, while your guide reveals the curiosities and legends that animate these places.
        • The tour continues to Quattro Canti, a spectacular square often chosen as a setting for blockbuster films and just steps from Piazza Bellini, one of the city's most evocative squares. Here, you can take a break in one of the historic cafés to enjoy one of the world's best coffees, surrounded by Palermo's unique atmosphere.
        • The tour concludes at the “Fountain of Shame,” a sculptural work rich in symbolism and mystery, located just steps from the chaotic and fascinating “Ballarò Market.” Here, after our tour concludes, you can enjoy a Palermitan-style lunch of “panelle” (chickpea fritters), “arancini” (fried rice balls), “panino con la meusa” (spleen sandwich), and much more.
          At the end of the tour, I'll advise and suggest the best places to continue enjoying the finest food and drinks, the most delicious desserts, and other monuments and iconic sites that will make your holiday a unique experience.

        You'll have an experience that will make you fall in love with the city, its art, history, flavours, and traditions. Book now and get ready to experience Palermo like you've never seen it before!
