Private Palermo
experiences with a local host chosen for you

I'm Viviana, your local host here in vibrant Palermo. What I love most about this city is its unique mix of cultures, traditions, and energy - there’s always something happening, no matter the season! When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me exploring our buzzing street markets like Ballarò or Il Capo, wandering through the historic center, or soaking in the beauty of spots like the Cathedral and Pretoria Fountain. With a deep love for Palermo’s history, geography, and traditions, I’m here to help you uncover the city's hidden gems and rich stories - whether we’re by the port, in a piazza, or tucked inside a centuries-old church.

I know the city center and the Mondello coast like the back of my hand, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than a quick drive to the beach for lunch with a view. From street food stalls full of local flavor to hidden spots with breathtaking scenery, I’m here to help you experience Palermo through a local’s eyes. Whether you’re into food, shopping, or just soaking up the atmosphere, I’ll make sure your time here is as rich and enjoyable as the city itself.

Walking through its streets, I’m always amazed by the contrast that makes this city so special - where seaside views meet nearby mountains. One of my favorite ways to spend time here is enjoying a spritz at Palazzo Bonocore while taking in the view of Piazza Pretoria, especially after visiting their temporary exhibitions. I also love dancing in Piazza Bellini on Thursday nights with a local group celebrating traditional dances from around the world. I know the Albergheria and Kalsa neighborhoods well, and I’m passionate about sharing Palermo’s rich history, from its Phoenician roots to the stories behind its iconic landmarks.
