A must-do - Interesting and informative! Francesco and Eduardo presented with clarity and passion—a real eye-opener about a complicated, insidious aspect of Italian history and the beautiful people working to change it. Do this tour!!

Precious and humanist visit - A most fascinating visit Chloé gave us the history, culture and underbelly of the Mafia
The No Mafia associative movement is decisive for the future of Sicily, Italy and for ensuring true humanist values reign.
Thank you for this beautiful life lesson

Exceptional ! - Extraordinary experience, plus Cloé tells the story so well with many details that it is impossible on the one hand to stay glued to the story and on the other hand to get angry thinking that Paradise would be Palermo and Sicily (and not only) without the mafia.

Worth every minute! - It was a truly exciting experience, 3h went like 5 minutes. Linda was the most cheerful and friendly guide. She gave us a lot of information about the recent history of anti-mafia movement, both from the legal framework and from the civilian movement perspective, and shared her own memories as she’s a proud Palermo resident. It was super interesting!

Absolutely recommended - Extraordinarily informative (yet not loaded with useless facts), well-performed (but authentic), intelligent and warm-hearted, Linda for sure gave us a 3,5 hour tour, that didn't bore anyone for one second. Probably the best tour we've ever experienced. An absolute recommendation for many reasons.

Great tour by Linda - The tour was over three hours and great value for money. Linda made the tour very interesting and entertaining and was very knowledgeable on the mafia presence in Sicily and its effects on the community of Palermo. More about the culture and history of significant period than the usual sight-seeing tour. Would definitely recommend.

Very good tour. Too many negative references to Calania, even though in jest. - The tour was very informative regarding the Mafia’s influence today and in the past. We did not realize beforehand of the movement to end the Mafia’s hold on businesses. Very interesting.

Terrible - There was nothing memorable. Even though the tour is called NO MAFIA that’s all the guide talked about. Impression was she was an activist and spreading the word of how the mafia fell.
Slow moving as she stopped at random corners to talk for 20-25 minutes
Had to leave 1 hour in…… i think she liked to hear herself speak
