Enjoyed the tour with Raphaella - a plus she is born and bred in Palermo. Really nice group on the tour. Highlight was hearing about the history and authenticity of the individual street food items and the influence of the Arab history on the food and the layout of the street, that remain after so long. Beware of exhorbitantly priced orange juice trap at the entrance of the Capo market 😲. Wait til you get deeper into the market, even if you’re very thirsty!

First of all, Palermo is made for a street food tour. The market activity is bustling. The venders are animated and engaging. Cuisine is unlike anywhere in Italy and Europe. Other than the tripe sandwich popularity (haha) we understand why people love Sicilian food. Streaty took advantage of the unique food scene making for a very enjoyable experience. Their greatest asset is Angelo, our hilarious guide. We loved this guy! Take this tour and hope you get Angelo.

Trying so many different kinds of food was great! I can't think of a better way to get to know an area than tasting local food and drinks while getting through history from a guide like Alessio. He was phenomenal!

First of all, to me the most positive point = our guide Salvatore, very efficient, clear and funny. A pleasure. The tour is interesting, some points that could be a « plus » for a more unforgettable experience : - add an option with more cultural informations about Italia, Sicile, and area of Palermo. - provide free water at each stop - before each command (it was often the case) ask who will taste it to be sure to not waste food (foccacia for example). Very happy to have experimented this journey with you.

Excellent to hear the stories behind local street food and get amazing examples of them. The food was great, our guide Federica was lovely and very knowledgeable. I would recommend people to get onto this tour as close to the start of their visit as possible as it gives you so much insight in where to go and what to eat while you're in the city.

A very interesting and detailed look at the street food of Palermo. Our guide Salvo was extremely knowledgeable and charismatic, he took us to some of the smaller family run street vendors around the old city. What we didn't expect was that the tour would include so much general information on palermo and it's history - that was a great bonus. Cheers Salvo!

An amazing tour on which you will get to enjoy some of the most iconic Sicilian foods whilst learning about their origins and formulation. Our guide Martina was very friendly and spoke good English, providing us with an abundance of information on not just the food but Palermo and Sicily also. The perfect hangover cure!
