The itinerary takes travelers around the intricate alleys of Capo and Vucciria districts. The food markets are the locations where the magic happens! During the morning street food tour participants will taste several samples such as the panelle (chickpea fritters) and the sfincione (tomato focaccia) but also some challenging specialties, such as the one and only pani ca’ meusa (veal lung and spleen sandwich). Guides will unveil the secrets of the local cuisine, giving recipes, sharing historical info and curiosities. During the experience, they also discuss other topics such as history, daily habits and controversial issues. Travelers also have the chance to step in the oldest bar downtown where to have a cheerful toast with the locals. This tasty experience ends with a seasonal dessert (cannoli in winter time, ice cream in summertime). We only offer our guests what’s seasonal and traditional. Our guiding style is very relaxed and laid-back, but also precise and professional.

We also offer travelers the opportunity to extend the experience by purchasing an extra hour of a guided tour of Art and History. During the extra hour, the guides lead the travelers through the main streets and the renowned historic squares of the city center (Quattro Canti, Piazza Pretoria, Piazza Bellini), ending the walk with a visit to the interior of the Cathedral.

• visit of the historical markets with a local guide
