Full and grateful in Palermo

Alessia was such a knowledgeable, nice, and accommodating guide. We learned so much about Palermo and its food culture, from the pizza to the arancini to the cannoli to the espresso. The walk through Ballaro market gave us a sense of the vibrancy of Palermo and its people. Most importantly Alessia treated my young daughters as members of the tour and encouraged them to try everything we ate. This was a true growth experience for them!
