Fantastic Class!
Fabulous class! Patrizia is wonderful! She met us at the market where we picked out our items to make. Walked to her lovely home which is warm and inviting. The food, amazing! We cooked, drank wine and had great conversation. The recipes were really good, the pesto we made was my favorite, very different then Pesto we are used to. The stuffed squid was just delicious. Wonderful experience!

Delightful Patrizia!
Patrizia was so lovely, she shared traditional Sicilian dishes, local wines and how to make limoncello with us in her inviting and charming home. It was a very relaxed and comfortable with just our small group (of 3). I was amazed by the fresh and delicious caponata, Sicilian pesto and fresh swordfish. We enjoyed her hospitality along with her insights to Sicilian history and culture. What a wonderful way to start our stay in Sicily with her personalized instruction. I felt like I was having a meal with a new friend.
Response from the operator: Hello Pamela! Just now I am having the time to thank you and express my gratefulness for your nice review. Thank you indeed!

Great, great fun, lovely host
Many thanks to Patrizia for hosting two fabulous experiences and sharing your wonderful home. The cooking course yesterday was such fun, and Sonya will be trying some of your recipes from your book back home. The wine tasting course was a real giggle, the other attendees were real fun, and the wine choices with the cheeses and nibbles (with perfect onions) were wonderful. We will certainly be in touch when we return to Sicily. Thank you again Love John & Sonya
Response from the operator: Dear Sonya and John, it has been a big pleasure to meet you and share my expierence in cooking and sicilian wines with you. Thank you for this lovely time. Patrizia

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class cost?
+
Prices start at $188 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.
Is Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Palermo?
+
On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Palermo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Palermo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Palermo.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Market Tour, Traditional Cooking and Limoncello class if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Palermo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
