The MORNING GROUP WALKING TOUR of Palermo lasts 3 hours. My group tour is not simply a food tour, but it's a mix of history, culture, monuments and street food. The MORNING GROUP WALKING TOUR starts at 9.30am, with me or with my team of professional Tour Guides, we will walk for about 4 km (3 miles). In the first part of the Walking Tour we will visit monuments and churches and in the second part of the Walking Tour we will explore the big outdoor food market and we will eat the famous street food of Palermo. At the end of the tour I will give you many suggestions of what you can do on your own in the afternoon. You will understand Palermo and its old history! The Group Walking Tour is in english and italian. Other things to note Street food tastings, arancini, pizza, fresh juice, etc (it’s like a lunch! no fish) and entrances fees in the churches that we will visit are included.

You will walk with me or one of my fellow team members through the main roads and the back streets of the picturesque old town. You will learn about the Mafia, its brutal violence and its business, as well as about the people who stood up against the power of the organised crime. We will stop in front of monuments, memorials and shops, each is connected with a particular aspect of our story. Sometimes a small detail, that seems unsignificant at first glance, has a story behind it that is worth to be told. You will meet shopkeepers who have said NO to the protection money and hear their stories: you will also have the chance to support them, just buying a gelato, some local products or a souvenir of Palermo. Other things to note You can recognize me because at the meeting point I will have a "No Mafia" bagpack on my shoulder. IMPORTANT! The tour is offered in English, Italian or French, depending from the dates. Please scroll down this page and choose the correct date/language in the section "SEE MORE DATES".
