Great experience

We had a great walking food tour of Palermo with Benedetto as our guide. He was informative and entertaining. The food stops were fantastic and were stuffed by the end of it. Highly recommend this tour with Benedetto!

Benny and the Eating Europe Palermo food tour

Benedetto was a fantastic guide and was very engaging and informative about Sicilian food culture and wines. He provided a lot of historical information about how certain recipes came into existence. He was able to get the group to interact with each other making it a very fun evening. I highly recommend this tour and if you can get Benny, you'll be very fortunate! I felt like the fee was reasonable was perfect.

Our guide, (Benny) was great...fun and knowledgeable. The restaurants (all) were very mediocre and not at all what I expected.
