Beautiful, speechless, much more beautiful than the Vatican, out of all proportion. - We went there in 2017, the palace chapel is splendid, a mixture of several cultures and architectures that leaves speechless.

impression - I would like to be a Regional Councillor just to attend the sessions that are held inside the Royal Palace. Wonderful work that finds its culmination in the Palatine Chapel, authentic Sicilian-Norman work of art. The descriptions are found in many guides and therefore I do not repeat them here. I dare say that it is a work that must be visited to realize its beauty that dates back to the eleventh century. Going out it is worth relaxing on some benches of the Royal Gardens. The bar doesn't deserve much but the Gardens are enough.

Palatine Chapel - The Palatine Chapel is beautiful and for those on holiday in Palermo should definitely visit it. It was built in the 12th century

Tour and More - I strongly recommend touring the Normal Palace and the Palatine Chapel with Simon. The palace and chapel are very beautiful structures and are a must see as they also include the working parliament chamber of Sicily and a prehistorical archeological site. Simon, our guide, is a very knowledgeable tour guide who describes the history and the events that shaped them very clearly. He is from Palermo and very proud of its history. This makes listening to him even more captivating. He provides earphones to hear him speak of you were standing at the back of the group or far from him. He has a good sense of humour and we even managed to grab an Aperol Spritz with him after the tour. Visiting the palace and the chapel without receiving the context and knowledge we got from Simon would have been very basic. I strongly recommend this tour.

Incredible beauty! - Right inside the palace is the Palatine Chapel... breathtakingly beautiful with its marble mosaics and all its sparkling gold. Absolutely not to be missed!

Excellent! - Our tour guide, Simon, was very friendly and his knowledge of the whole complex is second to none. We enjoyed our tour greatly and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Palermo. Helmer Cuartas (London)

Great tour - We did this as part of a week long stay in Palermo. We really enjoyed the tour and got to see a lot loved the Capella Palatina. Simon was friendly and competent and we are happy to recommend.

Wonderful tour of the Palatine Chapel - Our tour of the Palatine Chapel and gardens with Simone was first class. He was knowledgable and his passion for the chapel is communicated in every sentence. It was our 3rd visit to the chapel but easily the most rewarding.

Royal Palace with an expert! - If you are interested in learning about the history of Sicily from a passionate local teacher, this is the tour for you. Simone was fantastic to work with for my group of 9 seniors and I really appreciated the communication flow before the tour to work out details and the extra info about the nearby Cathedral to round out our Palermo Royal Palace experience. Thanks!
