A deeper understanding of organized crime in Sicily and particularly Palermo. - A very interesting and engaging tour. Angela has research the mafia and their downfall in Sicily. The tour was a mix of walking to sights and hearing information about those involved in taking down the crime families. Angela was friendly and happy to share her knowledge.

Excellent tour - Our guide was fantastic. I think her name was Valerie. Three hours of walking and her knowledge of the area is second to none. Her English was perfect and she was such a lovely lady. She is so passionate about the anti mafia movement and I learned so much today Definitely worth doing!! Wasn’t sprint walking just a leisurely stroll so don’t be put off by the three hours

A Must for History Buffs - Absolutely Fascinating. I have done some reading about the Sicilian mafia, but our guide went into great depth. She had done her research and it showed. As well she was passionate about her subject. A fascinating talk and tour of anti-Mafia heroes, why they were heroes and how each place connected to the fight against the intransigency of the mafia. It did run a little long, but it was so fascinating that we stuck with her right to the end. This tour is unique in that a lot of her presentation were her own thoughts and ideas, well-researched and not something just anyone could present.

Perfect tour! - My wife chose this tour among other tours available, and it was the perfect one! we both enjoyed the tour and Angela was very sweet with us, she answered all our questions and took us to a lovely Sicily shop where we bought some chocolate with different flavors (we liked the one with pomegranate flavor). If you're planing to visit Palermo, don't miss this amazing tour!
