No Mafia Tour - The tour is informative and educational. But if you’re looking for information about the buildings in Palermo, you won’t get any. What you will get is a really interesting 3hours of aspects of the Mafia. Not in a salacious manner but in a way to help you gain a degree of insight into a most complex form of generational systemic corruption. As a child of Sicily, Linda was an excellent guide who provided a considerable amount of information interspersed with childhood reflections. If you want to understand the courage behind the No Mafia efforts, I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour 😊 - Great tour ! 100% recommend 😊 Our tour guide Silvia was amazing told us everything about the history of Mafia and its impact on people and whole culture of Sicily . If you are staying for few days I highly recommend you take this tour on the beginning of your trip since the most important monuments are explained to you so the next time you’re walking by it’s got a different feel and impact.

Great tour - This is a walking tour worth taking. Our guide Linda was so knowledgeable and gave us an extensive education of all things mafia. Walking around different areas and hearing their significance in relation to the mafia was mind blowing. I walked away with a better understanding of old and new Palermo.

To see without hesitation. - Very nice surprise to discover these places dedicated to the history of the Mafia and to all those who fought, often at the Award of their lives, against the plague that was (and still is?) the Sicilian Mafia. Impressive, poignant, a beautiful life lesson!

Not to be missed - We took part in the tour of the symbolic places of the Mafia in Palermo and it was interesting and moving.Bravissima our Guide who as a Palermo lived those years with the eye of a boy and transmitted his feelings and his knowledge of the Mafia Superstar.
