We loved walking around Palermo with Salvatore! He is so friendly and charming and knowledgeable. We didn’t have as much time as we would have liked, but he made it work, and he also helped us find secure parking. He could not have been a better host and guide. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with him.

How to feel the heart of Palermo in 2 days
We are a group of ageing siblings who, once a year, travel together to an European city to experience the history, culture and definitely food. We have used WithLocals in Rome, Athens, Istanbul and Naples and so we asked Luca to guide us round Palermo for a day and a half guided tour of the main sites and hidden gens, including great food.
Luca was perfect! His knowledge, choice of sites to visit (including food!), his enthusiasm and love of Palermo, plus being an excellent, interesting and funny guide. We could not have wished for a better, happier introduction to Palermo, its history, culture and food - including some amazing icecream brioche rolls!
We even had full storms, thunder. lightening and a lot of rain one day, but that did not dimish Luca's interaction and we didn't even notice how wet we got because it was still a fabulous experience. We would all highly recommend Luca and if we come back to Palermo, which we hope to do, will definitely book Luca again.
Thank you Luca!

Great Introduction to Palermo
We had a really enjoyable couple of hours wandering the streets of Palermo with Luca.
He has a real love for his city and it was brilliant to spend time seeing it through his eyes.
Luca provided great recommendations for eating and drinking and we were very grateful for his advice. Thanks to Luca we had one of the best meals of our trip in a restaurant we would never have found on our own.
Luca is really knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He dealt with our many questions with patience and good humour!!
