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! Great Intro to Palermo

Wir hatten eine Tolle Zeit! Gaetano und mit viel Herzblut, alles über seine wundervolle Stadt und den kulinarischen Highlights von Sizilien erzählt! Wir haben viele leckere Gerichte probiert, die wir alleine bestimmt nicht entdeckt hätten. Die Tour war ein voller Erfolg! Amazing Time

Gaetano is very knowledgeable about Palermo and its culture. My problem with the tour was the tastings. While the arance and cannoli were plentiful, the other tasting were less extensive than I’ve experienced in other food tours. For example, Gaetano took us to get a taste of almond milk. For a group of 4 we were given ONE glass of almond milk and ONE straw. Disappointed

A delightful gastronomic and cultural tour of Palermo, visiting gems we wouldn’t have found on our own. A thoroughly enjoyable day and highly recommended. Gaetano was knowledgeable and entertaining, and great company. Walking tour

I had the best food tasting tour that I've ever been on with Gaetano. He took me on a tasting adventure thru the market and then into the town. Gaetano carefully explained the cultural aspects of the food and how they were to be eaten. By the end of the tour I was too full to eat the "cannolo" and brought it back to the cruise ship. It was the biggest and best cannoli I'd ever had. Grazie mille!Best Food Tour of Palermo

We loved our tour with Gaetano! He’s very knowledgeable of the history and shared amazing food with us. We learned a lot about the history of Palermo as well as visited many gorgeous sites we would have otherwise not seen. Gaetano also gave us amazing recommendations for our trip. It was a great first thing to do to understand the culture at the start of the trip - highly recommended! Great Experience! Food and History!!

Gaetano a été adorable avec nous. A privilégié cependant pour les personnes parlant anglais ou italien, car son français est assez limité

We had a great time with Gaetano in Palermo. He had a lot to tell about culinary delights, historical facts and amusing stories. We tasted interesting small dishes and drinks, some of which we would certainly not have found on our own. We can highly recommend Gaetono as a guide.Thank you Gaetano
