Tour description

ABOUT US
Hey there!
My name is Marco. I'm a proud Palermitano, deeply rooted in this vibrant city. Together with fellow local tour guides and friends, we lead free-tip walking tours giving travelers the chance to enjoy an authentic experience in town.
We are all born and bred in Palermo.
Our tours aren't just about showcasing the sights! From the hidden gems to the iconic landmarks, we'll unveil Palermo's secrets while sharing stories passed down through generations. We dive into lively discussions on everything from social issues to the controversial, giving you a real taste of the city's soul.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Our adventure commences from the precise location of VIA MAQUEDA 461 (outside the shoe shop Premier), leading you through the winding alleys where Palermo's soul truly resides. While much of our expedition will unfold in the shaded alleyways, we'll also reveal the grandeur of the main historical squares: Quattro Canti, piazza Vergogna, and piazza Bellini. But that's not all - we'll venture into the vibrant backstreets of the Vucciria district, immersing you in the bustling street culture, discussing everything from food to graffiti art, and unveiling the pulse of Palermo's dynamic urban scene.
