Palermo: Guided Bike Tour + Food Tasting

Additional Information & Description

Palermo’s quieter back streets and lesser-known areas take the focus on this three-hour guided bike tour. Ride through parts of Sicily’s capital that many visitors miss, following a live guide through calm streets and squares rather than limiting your visit to the best-known sights.

Historic squares and layers of art

The route passes through Piazza Bellini and Piazza Pretoria, bringing two named historic squares into your exploration of Palermo. Along the way, see examples of Arab, Norman, Byzantine and Spanish art. These different traditions give the tour a concrete architectural focus: you are not simply cycling between squares, but looking at the varied artistic influences found across the city. The guided format connects the ride with Palermo’s rich history, with commentary delivered in English.

Sicilian street food along the ride

A tasting of Sicilian street food adds a food element to the city tour. It forms part of the guided outing, bringing local flavours into a visit otherwise centred on streets, squares and architecture. The ticket includes the food tasting, the live guided tour, a bicycle and a helmet; the riding equipment is provided for the activity.
