Palermo-based incoming tour operator. We design tours through real local knowledge, selected partners and professional booking support.
Epic Sicily exists to show Palermo the way locals live it: markets, rooftops, neighbourhoods, stories of civil resistance. No copy-paste itineraries — experiences built by people who live here.
We work in small groups because it’s the only way to really get inside places: talking to the craftsman, sitting at the market stall, climbing up to a private terrace.
We choose our partners carefully and support businesses that said no to the mafia’s protection racket (pizzo): telling Palermo’s story of civil resistance is part of our job, not a slogan. Every booking feeds a local network that makes the city fairer and more alive.
We are from Palermo and work in Palermo. Our itineraries come from years of living here, not from a guidebook.
Small groups so you can walk, taste and ask questions at your own pace. No flags, no megaphones.
We only work with operators we know personally, including the pizzo-free businesses we support.
An office in Palermo and real people on WhatsApp — before, during and after your tour.
Local guides who know Palermo first-hand. Here’s who you’ll meet in the streets.
A law background and one conviction: telling the history of the mafia is how you understand the Palermo that resists it.
Takes you to the neighbourhoods where the walls tell the city’s story better than any museum.
Trails, sanctuaries and the sea from above: the green Palermo few people expect.
Knows exactly which stall to stop at — and what to order.

Very passionate guide with a lot of knowledge and interesting insights! We absolutely recommend the tour! Grazie Elena!
Read on GetYourGuide →We had an incredibly exciting tour, and our guide brought the story to life with deep knowledge and fascinating insight into the history of the mafia — from its early beginnings to the present day. Along the way, we were treated to some absolutely fantastic food that made the experience even more memorable. This tour comes highly recommended.
We enjoyed this tour very much. Learned a lot about Palermo's history post-WW2. Loved the way Elena would point out and explain the historical significance of artwork that we probably would have walked right past. She was kind and knowledgeable. Now as we walk through the streets of Palermo we will be on the lookout for work created by artists that she taught us about. Great experience!

This was a fantastic experience!! The hike length is adjustable (to some extent) depending on your fitness. Plus, I learned so much that I didn’t know about Palermo—past and present. I would recommend this tour and company to anyone—you will not regret it!
Read on GetYourGuide →Enjoyable and informative. We had a very good guide. We’ll worth the investment.
This was an amazing tour! Alexandra was fabulous! She really has excellent knowledge of the area and she is so passionate about Sicily. It wasn’t at all morbid going around the cemetery. It was fascinating. Mount Pellegrino was amazing and the views are brilliant. We will be back in September with our son and would like to do it all again with Alexandra. Fab-u-Lou’s!!
