The Sicilian pastries and ice cream are among the best in Italy, and what about the coffee, the real element of Italian culture. But how can you disentangle yourself from the huge range of bars and pastry shops that populate the city of Palermo? We have developed a process that allows for true gourmands to taste the best examples of pastry, from Sfincetta with ricotta to Setteveli cake, gelato, made with authentic raw materials without the use of industrial ingredients, and the best coffee at both the bar and coffee shop where we can take a close look at the roasting and selection of coffee that make up the blends. All of this of course, in addition to satisfying the palate and the mind thanks to the information given by the guide, will be surrounded by the beauty of Palermo’s monuments which will be introduced and explained by the guide along the way. There are about seven tastings: three pastries, an gelato, typical biscuits, a dessert wine and a coffee.

Giorgio, our guide, was knowledgeable and attentive. He shared lots of interesting history of the area and of i’s food culture and took us to some excellent places to sample some delicacies. His English was a excellent, which was important to us as our command of Italian was limited. We highly recommend a tour with him.

If you want to understand a country…its culture and its people…you study its history and it’s food. I visited Palermo, Sicily with my adult daughter during her spring break as a teacher. The foodie walking tour was to get a taste of all the wonderful pastries and gelato that Palermo is known for….but our guide Giorgio showed and taught us so much more. My favorite part was listening to this amazing storyteller who in three hours gave us, an all too brief, but incredibly personal view into the history of this amazing city. There are many different food tours out there…but this is one of the best and worth every dollar…
Thank you Giorgio for sharing Palermo with us…I was in love with your city the moment I stepped off the plane and after spending the morning with you I loved it even more!
Grazie!

Wonderful sweet food tour! Our group came from a Royal Caribbean cruise and was just a 15 minute walk from the port to meet up with the tour guide. He was super friendly and knew many locals in town throughout our tour. He showed us many great hidden places that we would never have seen without his help. Will never forget those gelatos!!

Georgio did an amazing job taking us on this tour. We not only had fun, but we also learned a lot. I love the street market, and the gelato shop was to die for.

We are really experienced food tour participants. All around the world.
In Palermo I wanted to dive into pasticceria, gelato and coffee.
Our guide Giorgio was on time , perfectly organized, everything fine.
He knew, what he was talking about, was really friendly, knowledgeable and very nice to be around. The hours we spent with him were really enjoyable.
We started with an award winning cake, had cannoli at a well known pasticceria, sweet Marsala Wine at a famous tavern, dolci at a monastery (my favorite location, being a real insider tip) and coffee at a roastery. The gelateria we wanted to visit was closed on that day, but opening times in Palermo are really special….
So it was a nice morning, thanks to Giorgio. A real recommendation especially if you are not that experienced in food tours and local specialities.
My suggestion for an improvement (just a personal opinion) would be to trade the first stop to a coffee with a brioche with gelato instead of the cake. More Sicilian and coffee is always a good start.
But we were happy and it’s worth 5 stars anyway.
And for dinner, Giorgio organized a restaurant table for us, that was really going the extra mile.
Thank you so much !
