Affiliate Disclosure And Privacy

Plain terms first. Certain links on these pages are affiliate links, and when a booking follows one of them, this site receives a commission from the platform. The price you pay is unchanged either way, and no money changes hands on this site at all. No operator has paid to appear here, and none can pay for a position. Nor does any of this gate the city itself: Ballaro, Il Capo and the fry counters of the old centre sell to anyone who walks up, ticket or no ticket.

Where The Money Comes From

All 22 tours listed here are sold through live booking pages on two platforms, GetYourGuide and Viator. Every tour card carries a tagged link to one of those listings. Book after clicking, and the platform shares part of the commission it already charges the operator. Arrive by typing the listing address yourself, and the checkout total is exactly the same.

Two further commercial links exist. The hotels in the Where To Stay block on the homepage point to Expedia through Travelpayouts on identical terms: a platform pays the commission, your price does not move. And the free pay-what-you-want walking tour linked from the free things to do in Palermo guide carries a GuruWalk referral code. That walk belongs to an independent local guide, not to this site, and whatever participants choose to give goes to the guide. There are no display ads, no sponsored posts and no paid placements of any kind. Should a new partner ever be added, this page and the footer will name it in the same update that introduces its first link.

Eating Well Without Sending Anything Here

The free route often wins. Wander a market alone, buy panelle at a counter, stand at a bar for a spleen sandwich: none of it earns this site a cent, and none of it needs to. The guides explain how.

Nor does the catalog push anyone upmarket. The 22 tours range from a modest street-food walk to a half-day cooking class at the top of the range, and that spread is presented honestly. Cheap options are not buried to favour dearer ones, and expensive ones are not framed as the only serious choice.

What No Operator Can Buy

• Inclusion. A listing earns its spot by being real, bookable and honestly described. The catalog spans five categories: six street-food walks, four market tours, five cooking classes, four wine and cheese tastings, and three vineyard visits and day trips beyond Palermo.
• Position. No higher placement has been sold, and none has been offered for sale. Ratings and review counts shown beside each card are the ones the platform publishes.
• Description. A tasting with a handful of reviews sits beside a street-food walk with thousands, and each carries the count it truly has, exactly as published.
• A place at all. Tours qualify only with a live listing showing a real from-price and a named operator. Offers without a published cost, unnamed guides, or bookings handled through private messages are excluded, however well they might have paid.
• Free alternatives. Exploring the markets unguided or roaming the old town on foot earns nothing here, and those routes still get their full say wherever they beat a paid ticket.

Ratings, Reviews And From-Prices

Every rating and review count shown is the figure the live listing publishes at that moment. Numbers are never averaged across platforms or blended between listings, and a small review sample stays visibly small.

A from-price is the lowest published starting point, not a fixed fare. It shifts with the chosen date, the option or group size, and extras added at checkout, which is why every card links to the live listing as the final authority on cost.

Reading these pages leaves you anonymous. There is no account, no form and nothing to pay for here, whether you came for a Ballaro street food walk, a cooking class or a Marsala day trip.

Data This Site Sees

Measurement here stays aggregate. The counts cover which pages get read, roughly where readers arrive from, what kind of device they use, and which outbound links to tour listings draw clicks. Those click counts answer a simple editorial question: when someone weighs a three-hour street food walk against a half-day cooking class with a market stop, does the comparison page actually help them choose? That is the whole purpose. Nothing on this site asks for a name, an email address, a phone number or a card, so none of those things exist in any log, and there is nothing here to buy.

Third-Party Scripts

The analytics tool drops its own cookies. Any map or map preview embedded on these pages comes from a third-party provider too, and that provider sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy, which this site does not control.

Every reservation is made on the live listing page, never through these pages. The moment you follow a link, the operator's own systems and their cookie rules govern what follows. The same applies to any operator website reached along the way. How this site earns money, in plain terms, sits on the disclosure section.

What Never Happens

• Trade, rent or share visitor data with anyone.
• Load advertising networks, retargeting pixels or trackers that follow you from this site to others.
• Request an email address. No newsletter exists here, and no mailing list waits in the background.
• Accept money, reserve a seat or touch any step of a booking. Payment cards, confirmations and cancellation terms remain with the operator you book with, on their platform and under their own policies.
• No newsletter, no account, no data grab. The only way to reach us is the contact page, which hands you a plain email address rather than a form that stores anything.

Hosting

These pages sit behind Cloudflare, which keeps the routine server logs any web host keeps: IP addresses and request times used to block bots and abuse. Those records exist for security, not for building profiles of who reads about arancini or Marsala.

Your Choices

A script blocker, tracking protection or a private window will switch off the analytics here, and nothing breaks. Every tour listing renders without JavaScript. You can also skip this site entirely: each tour card names its operator, from Cavallaro Fabrizio to Bottega Monteleone, and you are free to find and book with them directly. Nothing on these pages requires you to click through any particular link.
