What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the starting point and collect a bike and helmet. The route winds through narrow streets and piazzas in the centro storico, stopping at established vendors who've been serving these snacks for decades. At each stop you'll order and eat; the guide contextualises what you're tasting and how it fits into Palermo's working-class food culture. Expect cobblestones, tight corners and the general buzz of a lived-in neighbourhood—not a polished tourist loop. The pace is leisurely; plenty of time to eat and ask questions.
