A brilliant Palermo food and history tour

An excellent evening spent with Larisa and guests to explore the culinary foundations of Palermo over the centuries. These backstreets tours are brilliant for getting under the skin of a place and living like a local for the evening. Larisa told great stories of how Palermo came to be and how the food and cuisines developed over the centuries. A must do I Palermo!

Best food tour company for authentic flavors

My mom and I enjoyed a Culinary Backstreets food tour with the lovely Alex. It was the best! We opted for the evening tour, where our informative and amiable guide chatted with us about the history of Palermo and led us through the winding streets of the old town to the waterfront, sampling, probably 15 different varieties of cuisine (including drinks along the way). On a Friday night the city was alive with an electric energy! We stopped at authentic places, old-school spots, and some nouvelle cuisine restaurants. I enjoyed this company in another European city, and I wouldn't hesitate to book another food tour with them.
