We had a blast on this food tour! it was an easy walk from the port to the meeting point. Angelo was our guide and he was informative, friendly and funny. We saw various sites in Palermo while eating pancetta wrapped around scallions, pizza, arancini (no tomato), a spleen sandwich, croquettes, chickpea pancakes, bruschetta (for vegetarians), and cannolis and drinking wine and beer. Don’t hate on the spleen sandwich - it was surprisingly delicious! Angelo made us feel welcome and ensured everyone enjoyed their time and knew how to get back to the ship at the end of the tour. He also introduced us to many of the shop owners (Mama, Mama Johnny, and Barbara) which was a pleasant addition. Highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
