Better than most walking tours - A very enjoyable experience, our guide was lovely and chatty and told us so much about living in the city. There was plenty of the traditional tour experience as well so we were delighted with it all.

Excellent and interesting tour and tour guide - Our host Lydia was a very informative, fun and friendly guide. She made time to get to know us, she was considerate with the pace of the tour and she also took us to places which we would never have seen without a "locals knowledge". The tour was very interesting and a great way to start our brief stay in Palermo. Lydia also spoke excellent English. Shane

Palermo tour - Melissa was very knowledgeable and friendly. She listened to what we asked to see and put together a great afternoon. We also now have lots of places to visit without her today (the following day).

A fantastic view into this exciting city. - Our guide, Paulo, not only pointed out the main attractions of Napoli, he showed us the less known, secret nooks and crannies of this special city where pizza was born. He loves the city and his passion is contagious, and yes, we caught it. Highly recommend getting to know your way around the town before you venture out on your own. Many thanks, Paulo.

Palermo with Alina - Very nice and comprehensive 3 hour walking tour with Alina. The corners that are not the focus of tourists were also shown. Small breathers in interesting places, which were not at the expense of the total time, made it possible to deal with what was seen. Restaurant tips rounded off the tour. Alina's German is very easy to understand and her local knowledge is great; so we got a good overview of the highlights in Palermo.

Never again... - We spent three hours in Palermo with a “local” guide. He was about 10 minutes late for the agreed meeting point, He hardly seemed to have prepared for the tour. He barely spoke, was quite ignorant and ill-informed. We paid 120 euros -> in the end we were happy that the whole thing was over!

A mobile wastehouse - An abberation , nothing goes in this city , the city is a travelling waste , there is nothing to see except 3 monuments , in short it is better 100 times to go to Cefalù on Palermo , if you had the idea of going there , think quickly of something else .
