Spring Mafia History Walking Tour - Gaining insight from a knowledgeable Sicilian guide on the harm the Mafia causes to Italian society. Frederico passionate on his subject and the need for change to better the lives of ordinary Italians. 3 hours passed very quickly however I would not recommend for children. The weather was perfect. Could be more challenging in high summer due to temperatures and crowds

Cancelled 1 hour before started - The tour was cancelled without proper explanation just 1 hour before the start. As we had planned our short trip also around this tour, this was very annoying.
