Hello everyone, I'm Rachele, a licensed tour guide from Palermo. You could have wondered about this strange title to introduce myself, well it is about a word pun: my surname remembers the word "Flower" and the first name Palermo had was Ziz, Flower in the old language of the settlers! Isn't that funny? Since I became a tour guide I found this bond a key of destiny. I became a Tour Guide in 2017 almost accidentally exactly as John Lennon was used to say "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans" but the more I work the more I fell my job to be more than just a profession. I'm definitely in love with Palermo, my home town, and this amazing island pampered by crystal clear waters, green hills, amazing sunset and the most delicious food I ever had. I'm talking about Sicily, of course! So, if you really want to get in touch with this vibrant, colorful, noisy but unbelievable context. . . just contact me so we make it happen! Liceo Classico Giovanni Meli, one of the best schools of Humanities in Palermo. Palermo university, Faculty of Humanities (History of art). Graduated with a dissertation on Gender and Racial Studies in the feminist movement. Thesis about Written Communication in the Museum. Master on Museum Organization and Management at Università Cattolica in Milan. Four-month stage at the Museum of Contemporary Art " Villa Zito" in Palermo, reorganizing the main picture gallery. State exams to become a qualified English-speaking Guide. Member of Associazione Osservatorio Outsider Art. I can provide to arrange a private transportation with a professional licensed driver in luxury and air-conditioned Mercedes car or Van. If you don't find an available slot in my calendar, please, feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help you!

Overview of your Palermo tour

I'll be honest with you - If you really want to enjoy this tour, have a light dinner and skip breakfast. Palermo is well-known worldwide for the variety and the deliciousness of the local street food, although some local delicacies may seem a little bit weird to an untrained palate. Imagine this food tour together as a musical crescendo, from a beginner level to a pro one. From the chickpea fritters to the soft potato balls, to the glorious arancina (I'll reveal to you the truth about why it is feminine) aiming to reach the top (or the bottom) of the foodie rank with the mysterious frittola… In Palermo, we barely joke about food, so I have great expectations about your behavior. This means be ready to walk, taste and challenge yourself and never forget what every nonnas is used to say to push you "Mancia ca si fatto siccu - Eat 'cause you're too thin"
