What To Expect

Take part in an evening walking tour of Palermo! Starting from Teatro Massimo, the city's main opera house, you will then wind through the narrow streets of the Olivella area, the modern port of La Cala and the lively Vucciria neighbourhood. During the tour, your expert guide will tell you more about Palermo and its urban evolution, its stories and legends.Begin your experience with a welcome toast paired with bruschettas or local cookies and then get the chance to taste some street delicacies not available during the day, such as "rascatura" (made out of Rejection of panelle dough, croquettes and peanut or corn oil) or “mangia e bevi” (made of bacon and spring onion). Tastings are made at family-run street vendors and fryers that have been selected based on the quality of the food on offer and the authenticity of the place. Your gastronomic experience will end with an ice cream in Piazza Fonderia or Piazza San Domenico.
