A Must-Do Tour in Palermo
jenngirl93, October 2026
My family and I visited Palermo for the first time in June. My heritage is Sicilian so I was excited to visit and experience what my culture has to offer. We had an amazing experience with Oriana as our guide. She was entertaining, so knowledgeable and did a great job of incorporating not just food information but what makes Palermo such a special place. You can truly see how much she loves her home. The food options were awesome, including the spleen sandwich, which only my dad and I ate on our tour. Overall, all of the options were awesome, the tour was great and Oriana took such amazing care of us. On future trips to Sicily, I hope to do other food tours and hope they are with Oriana. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly suggest this tour for a fun afternoon of eating and exploring!
