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. ## Overview 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).
