Domenico made us connect with Palermo! Informative, entertaining and authentic - awesome!
We had a perfect tour with our guide Domenico. He was very well-informed and supernice. He knows what he‘s talking about and knows how to entertain at the same time. He speaks very good English. Walking through the traditional „Ballaro“ market was an authentic and fun experience. We tried different local street food and learned a lot about the history and Culture of Palermo now and then. Waking with Domenico through Palermo was an experience we didn’t want to miss! Would do it again!

Great tour!
Great way to get to know Palermo City in detail. We learned a lot about the history and got immersed in the Sicilian culture. Our guide Simone did a great job explaining always with a smile and big passion about his city. We want to thank you, Simone! Grazie :)

The best walking tour in Palermo! I highly recommend doing this tour! Domenico is extremely knowledgeable. He presents the history of Palermo in an informative yet very humorous way. You’re not going to get bored for one second. He takes you through the “mercato” where you can try yummy arancini, granita, and particularly interesting meat sandwich typical to Palermo. He is extremely helpful if you need more info on the city aside from the tour (he’ll give you suggestions on what to see and where to go on your own). DON’T HESITATE, take his tour:)

Walking tour with Domenico not to be missed!
Jun 2021 • Couples
We had an remarkable tour of Palermo with Domenico. He was full of historical information as well as a deep appreciation of the amazing city that he has known since he was a boy. We saw some churches and streets and inside views of Palermo that we other wise would not have. He was also very generous in helping us make some decisions as to other things to do even after our walking tour was complete. His gentle humor and kindness made the tour all the more pleasurable. We look forward to returning to Palermo for another tour with Domenico. Highly recommend. Grazie!

Great stories, sights, and snacks
Jul 2020
Domenico did a fantastic job introducing us to both Palermo and Sicilian culture. He covered not only the history, art, and architecture but added personal stories and integrated humor to make it much more memorable than a standard tour.

Domenico introduced us to a number of characters and gave us a real feel for exploring the Palermo market with the eye of a local rather than a tourist, not to mention stopping for all of the amazing snacks throughout the market and city.

Definitely try all of Domenico's snack recommendations, including the Spleen Sandwich.

Me and my partner Tom booked this walking tour with Domenico in September and we couldn’t choose for anything better! Domenico is very knowledgeable, passionate about his own Sicilian heritage and culture, fun and engaging.
He took us to places that we wouldn’t have reached if we were by ourselves. Plus he made us try lots of typical street food such as arancini and cannoli! Overall a very complete, informative and engaging tour of the main attractions and the little hidden gems around Palermo. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend !!!
We can highly recommend this tour which we were fortunate to book last minute with Domenico. He is very personable and cheerful which makes the tour a very enjoyable experience. We’d recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your visit to Palermo as Domenico is very informative about the history of Palermo and recommendations of other places of interest and good places to eat. We were taken to the main areas of interest, stopping for a delicious cannoli and ending our tour at a beautiful roof top restaurant.

Excellent morning tour with Domenico
Grazie Domenico for an excellent tour with just the right amount of history and humour. We visited some places I would never have found on my own. As the only person taking the tour, I was very grateful that Domenico didn’t cancel the booking as other travel companies have. Be sure to get the pomegranate granita in the market!
