This experience is ideal for curious travelers who want more than a standard food tour and prefer honest, intelligent conversations about Palermo today. You’ll taste outstanding Sicilian street food, discover neighborhoods beyond the usual routes, and understand how power, politics, crime, and civil society shape the city. Led by a law graduate with honors who worked in the Italian Supreme Court’s criminal division, the tour connects history with current investigations, local politics, and the relationships between the mafia, Italy, the EU, and the US. You’ll also visit Palermo’s only venue producing its own craft beer, with more than 20 options. Small groups mean deeper discussion, real access, and no clichés.

Where this sits in Palermo

Palermo is about 34 min by road from Palermo Falcone Borsellino Airport. Sicily at full volume — Arab, Norman and Baroque layered in the same street, and street food that beats most restaurants. Rough around the edges, and the best market food in the country.
