Reviews of Our Palermo Experiences

Our guide was excellent! She was very kind and answered all of our questions and was willing to personalize our tour.

Naples

Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

Our tour in Naples was fabulous. My husband and I met Roberto, our tour guide, and we had a walking tour through the heart of Naples, through Piazza’s, Parks, and Government buildings, the beautiful Theatre, centuries old buildings, neighborhoods and side streets, as well as learning the History of Naples as we went along. It was fascinating! Roberto Introduced us to vendors and provided the opportunity to see how the local residents live, where they gather, shop and eat. We would have never seen what we did or learn so much about Naples - Napoli on our own. Roberto was a wonderful Host, we were sad to leave him. We felt so lucky. I heartily recommend this tour and Roberto for anyone who wants a really fabulous enriched experience. MORE THAN 5 STARS!!

The walking tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of Bologna and the present as well. Andrea was informative, funny and introduced us to some cured meats that we had not tried before. A nice way to spend the morning.

Great tour. Very flexible and customized for your group. I highly recommended to anyone in Napoli. Enya is the best guide.

Sicilian Reds & Regional Roots

Start your experience with bold local character.

Palermo Wine Discovery: Sicilian Tastings & Local Bites

You might start with Sicily’s bold reds from Nero d’Avola to Frappato, paired with aged cheeses or olive-oil bruschetta. Your host could share the story behind each wine, giving you a taste of Sicily’s diverse terroirs and rich wine-making heritage.

Whites, Volcanic Notes & Seasonal Flavors

Explore the lighter side of Sicily’s wine culture.

Shift to crisp, mineral-rich whites like Grillo or Carricante, shaped by volcanic soil. These might be paired with seasonal bites like caponata or marinated anchovies, as your host adapts to your preferences and helps you explore Sicily’s lighter, nuanced wines.

Evening Vibes & Streetlight Reflections

Wind down your tasting with Palermo’s rhythm around you.

End with a gentle stroll through Palermo’s vibrant streets or quiet piazzas. It’s a relaxed moment to take in the city’s energy or calm, while reflecting on the flavors, stories, and sips you’ve shared throughout the day.

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

I have worked with City Unscripted in several cities. I love the flexibility when needed and the ability to change the agenda on the fly if something else appeals to me.

Nicola was like a friend showing us the best parts of his city

Norman Graham

Lilia was an excellent guide and made us feel very comfortable. She had us engaged in the tour instead of just standing there spitting out info. We hadnt realized just how much walking and visiting we had done until the end. We explored the whole city area and she gave us great tips on dining and areas to explore more.
