Elena met us at Puerto Nuovo and was on time and very pleasant. Her knowledge and expertise was well worth it! She gave us a good kickstart to our Palermo experience. I very much recommend Elena and WithLocals.com

Great Intro to Palermo

4 of us did the 10 Tastings of Palermo tour with Gaetano. It was our 1st visit to the city and wanted to try authentic tastings while getting an intro to the layout of the old town and hear some stories. The street market was amazing - we would never have tried out so many things if alone. Also Gaetano gave wider recommendations about places to visit. We enjoyed Gaetano’s friendly and knowledgable company. I highly recommend the tour - but don’t have much breakfast beforehand!
