Walking Tour in Palermo

Palermo's food section is small but has a clear price spread. The lower bound is a cooking class with a market trip: four hours at 223 dollars, the first half spent buying produce and the second cooking. Palermo's markets work from early morning and wind down by midday, which is why such programmes start early. The finished dish is eaten on the spot and the produce is included in the price.

A Sicilian wine and cheese tasting lasts two hours and costs 394 dollars. It is the shortest entry in the section and the second by price: you pay for the selection and the guidance, not for the duration. Sicily is a wine region in its own right with its own varieties, and the tasting set is built around them rather than around mainland samples.

Four full-day programmes with a car and driver cost 611 dollars each for eight hours and land in this section because of the food stops along the route. The directions differ: Erice and Trapani, Cefalù with Castelbuono, Corleone, San Vito lo Capo with Scopello. The gastronomic part is not the main one there, but it is stated in the description.
