Great way to explore the city center of Palermo - We enjoyed our tour with Stephanie. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her city, Palermo. We learned about the city’s history, architecture, culture and food and left with a much better appreciation of Palermo. It was a great way to get to know the city. Grazie!

Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide - Fascinating. Guide was very knowledgeable and was an art history major. She spoke excellent English but was from Palermo. She looked after her group and even protected us from getting hit by cars when crossing the chaotic streets. The architecture is so varied and we got to go inside the cathedral. Wonderful.

Renatta and the tour were pitch perfect! - Renatta toured us about the entire old city and her enthusiasm for her city is infectious. She was quite knowledgeable and informative. The tour included SO much more than just the UNESCO sites. We had been in town for several days and she incorporated several other landmarks and infused local lore and cuisine as well!! A great way to set the stage for your stay in Palermo!!

Beautiful tour! - Our guide Stefania was so knowledgeable on the history of the sights and the city. She is a native Sicilian here in Palermo and shared her experience and knowledge of the culture with us. I'm leaving feeling enriched and appreciative of a land that is so diverse and splendid!

Enjoyable and informative tour! - We had a most enjoyable and informative guide in Stephanie. Her explanations were clear and succinct and she provided us with lots of other information. She has a very pleasant personality and it was a pleasure to spend 3 hours with her. We have a much clearer understanding of the very interesting history of Palermo now.

Palermo - eyes open - Great overview of Palermo with hidden location gems, which you only get knowledge of with a local brilliant guide. The reason for the lower rating is the cathedral portion was missed due to a wedding, yet the guide had no alternative sites permitted by the agency to view with guests. This shortened the tour by 20 minutes. Suggest that guests bring water to stay hydrated in the tour.
