Ciao a tutti! My name is Iolanda and I am a licensed tour guide based in Palermo, Sicily. I speak English and French and I have over 25 years of experience working as a tour guide. For long time, I had the pleasure of accompanying travellers throughout Sicily, mainly to the famous archaeological sites. Now, I live and work in Palermo but I am able to move freely to various areas on the island on request. If you wish to visit Palermo or other places in Sicily, please do not hesitate to contact me. Together we can discover some of the city's most extraordinary sights and also my city life. Let yourself be captivated by the charm of Palermo historical quarters, the beauty and elegance of its antique buildings, the mix between Arabic and Norman styles. Come with me and taste the delights and sounds of Palermo's historical markets like the famous Ballarò, Vucciria and il Capo, where you can still hear the echoes of its oriental past. Palermo is heaven for gourmet lovers, who can sample the local specialities such as our famous ''street food''. In fact, Palermo is truly a city of ''street food''; it's a place where the flavours of the Mediterranean mix and embrace with the colours and aromas of the orient. My tours are tailored for individual clients as well as families and groups. You can consider me as your competent and welcoming friend who will provide you with the opportunity to become acquainted with wonderful, mysterious and fascinating Palermo. A city of a thousand faces that remains torn between eastern and western worlds. Sicily awaits you! Licensed tour guide for Palermo and Sicily I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Palermo tour

The first thing to do when you arrive in Palermo is to explore its markets, and together we will visit the Capo Market! The tour that I propose combines food and art. In fact, during our walking tour in the market we will also visit some churches that we will find along the way. Of course we will take time to taste the typical street food as arancini, panelle (chick pea frittas), sfincione (sicilian style pizza) fresh ricotta cheese with a glass of fine Sicilian wine. All of this would not be complete of course without a strong Sicilian coffee served with one of our local pastries such our famous cannolo! This tour is not only an opportunity to taste some samples of local gastronomic specialties, but it is also an opportunity to get to know the city of Palermo with its perfumes, colours and the voices of the vendors that make this city a very special place.
