Palermo Food Guides

Five long-form guides, each working one topic end to end: which of four formats suits you, what three hours and six stops actually contains, the five things to settle before you pay, what the range costs once the group cap is understood, and the seasonal calendar the listings cannot show. Shorter, single-question pieces live on the blog.

Which food tour format

Street-food walk, market tasting, cooking class or evening wine tour — four formats sold under one name, and how differently they eat.

Three hours, six stops

The route, the pacing and the portion arithmetic — including whether it replaces dinner, which nobody tells you in advance.

Before you pay

Group size, language, dietary needs and cash for extras — the questions worth asking before a booking, not after.

What a food tour costs

$40 to $251 in one city. Tastings, drinks, group cap and guide expertise, priced out line by line.

Palermo’s food calendar

The Festino, the sagre and what closes in August — the produce and festival year, month by month.
