Description
A private walking tour in Palermo where the route is yours to shape. Tell the host what draws you, be it Arab-Norman buildings, Sicilian street food or peaceful gardens behind worn palazzi, and the walk follows.
Once you book, a short questionnaire about your tastes pairs you with a host who shares your outlook, and that person then writes to you directly to plan the day. You might start at Piazza Pretoria or at your hotel door, then drift into the old lanes, where antique dealers and ornate Baroque churches sit side by side, and on into courtyards most visitors miss.
- Hidden courtyards, cloisters and gardens
- Historic markets and local bakeries
- A panelle sandwich at a neighbourhood friggitoria, if you are hungry
- Stories and legends from someone who lives here
The length is flexible, from two hours to a full six, and so is the start time. You pay separately for food, drinks and attraction tickets, and the experience is mainly on foot, with public transport or a taxi when a stop is farther away. Because the plan is personal, you can linger at a market stall or take a detour whenever something catches your eye.
