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.
I enjoy sharing the beauty, stories, and traditions that make Palermo so unique. I’m always excited to uncover lesser-known spots and reveal their hidden tales. I know the entire historic center well - from the four mandamenti to other neighborhoods - and I’m here to guide you through Palermo’s monuments and stories with enthusiasm and curiosity!
What truly inspires me is meeting the amazing people here and experiencing the city like a local, full of emotions and stories. I enjoy losing myself in the lively downtown streets and joining the many events that bring Palermo’s spirit to life. I know the neighborhoods inside out and am excited to share the city’s highlights, local life, and special events with you, making your visit as authentic and memorable as possible.
Stewed food Lover and Specialist.
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.
I might be like my mum, always telling:”mangia, mangia!!!”
I’m passionate about our iconic tourist spots like the majestic Massimo Theatre and, of course, the incredible local food that this city offers. I enjoy walking through the lively city centre and discovering new corners to explore every day. I know Palermo’s neighborhoods really well and am excited to guide you through the must-see sights and delicious flavors that make this city so special. Let’s uncover Palermo’s charm together!
What excites me most is how friendly the people are and the city’s lively spirit that fills every street. I enjoy visiting bustling food markets and uncovering lesser-known historical sites that reveal Palermo’s hidden stories. I know the neighborhoods really well and specialize in food tours and unique itineraries that take you off the beaten path. I’m excited to share the authentic flavors and secrets of my city with you, making every visit a delicious and unforgettable adventure!
Here is what our guests say about our hosts and creating memories
Great!!
Antonio was very knowledgeable and I learned much during our two hour tour. It was exactly what I expected, she was personable, interesting and willing to adjust as needed.
Perfect experience
Stefano was an excellent guide and helped us experience so much more of the city than we would have on our own. He was so knowledgeable and personable and clearly has a passion for Palermo and Sicily. He made our limited time in Palermo impactful.

My daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful 4-hour walking tour of Palermo with our guide, Benedetto through City Unscripted. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease and instantly brought the city to life with his warmth, and deep local knowledge. He guided us through Palermo’s winding streets, hidden piazzas, and vibrant markets, sharing fascinating stories about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. What made it so special was how personal it felt - he tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, from architecture and history to food and local life. We discovered places we never would have found on our own and gained such a rich appreciation of Palermo’s layers - its beauty, its grit, and its soul. It felt like spending an afternoon with a friend who loves his city and wants you to love it too. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re visiting Palermo, ask for Benedetto - he made our time in the city truly unforgettable.
No complaints. Good tour- hit all the highlights. Personalized to our requests.
