ljandgb Posted August 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2017 We were in Palermo last week. We're a family of 8, 3 generations ages 12-75. We did a really fun 3 hr food walking tour thru the street market. It was my favorite guide and walking tour of our trip. Our guide was a hoot and obviously a local, with a great rapport with the vendors. We had arancini, a chickpea flour pancake thing, spleen and lung sandwich (optional for sure and not as disgusting as you'd think), two kids had a fizzy volcano sort of drink, cheese, olives, several breads, beer and drinks, and gelato the Palermo way - sandwiched in a brioche bun. We did not return to the ship hungry. We also walked by several interesting cultural areas, and got a bit of history as well. The tour started at Piazza Verdi, an easy 15 min walk from the front of the terminal up a tree lined mostly pedestrian way. The terminal is right near the tourist area and it would be an easy port to DIY. There were several tour operators at the gate looking for business.

Honbun Posted September 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Did you arrange for the tour in advance or just went with one of the tour operators at the gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you share the name and contact info? Thanks. Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
