Guidekin's take

Old town churches and food in our Street Food & Market Tours comparison.

Trade-off: Children under nine cannot join.

Last checked: September 15, 2026. Commissions never affect our verdicts.

Overview

Guidekin summary

One guide splits the walk in two: the old town with its churches, entry to some of them included, then the open air market for arancini, panelle, focaccia, fresh juice and cannoli. There is no fish, no coffee, no water and no hotel pickup, and children under nine cannot join. 4.94 from 402 reviews at €50 per person for 3h.

From the guide

My group walking tour is a mix of history, art, monuments, architecture and food tasting. In the first part of the Walking Tour we will visit the old town with its monuments and churches, and in the second part we will explore the big food open air market where we will taste the famous street food of Palermo (as arancini, fresh juice, focaccia, cannoli, panelle, etc). Please write me if you have any food allergy.
