Street food and market guided tour in Palermo

Immerse yourself in the warmth of true Southern hospitality by tasting its most famed Sicilian street food.

Visit the iconic Ballarò Food Market and learn about the hidden history of local vendors, known for everything from organizing street concerts to standing up to the mafia.

Taste heaven as you indulge in an iconic dessert made in a famous monastery-turned-bakery, and recover from your food coma with a properly-brewed espresso made in a café that’s been hailed as one of the best independent coffee shops in the world.

As you walk off the beaten path through the stunning Albergheria district, you’ll be privy to legends of flavour that have been passed down through generations of Sicilian families.
