Highlights
- Capo Street Market - The Mercato del Capo is a burst of colors, flavors, and sounds. This traditional street market is the perfect place to immerse yourself in Palermo’s daily life, taste local foods, and discover the variety of Sicilian products, including fresh fish, fruits, vegetables, and much more.
- Catacombe dei Cappuccini - The Catacombs of the Capuchins offer a unique experience, where visitors can explore corridors housing thousands of mummies. This fascinating and somewhat eerie site provides a look into the practice of mummification and Sicilian funerary traditions.
- Monreale - Monreale boasts one of the world’s most beautiful cathedrals, renowned for its impressive gold mosaics. Travelers can visit the Monreale Cathedral to marvel at its Byzantine splendor, explore the Benedictine cloister, and enjoy breathtaking views over the Conca d’Oro and Palermo.
- Porta Nuova - Porta Nuova, the historic gate of Palermo, serves as a majestic entrance to the old city. Erected in memory of Charles V’s victory in Tunis, the gate combines Islamic and Renaissance architectural elements, offering visitors a unique glimpse into Palermo’s military and artistic history.

Cattedrale di Palermo - Palermo Cathedral
The Palermo Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece blending Gothic, Arab, and Norman styles. Travelers will admire its imposing facade, explore the richly decorated interiors, and discover its millennia-old history, reflecting Sicily’s cultural melting pot. - Quattro Canti - Also known as Piazza Vigliena, Quattro Canti is the baroque crossroads at the heart of Palermo, where four ornate facades meet. Each corner reveals statues of saints, fountains, and reliefs that narrate the city’s stories, offering a perfect example of baroque art and urban planning.
- Piazza Pretoria - Piazza Pretoria, also known as the “Square of Shame” due to the nudity of its statues, is home to the stunning Pretoria Fountain. This exquisite 16th-century fountain, adorned with intricate sculptures, is a highlight of Palermo’s artistic heritage. The square’s beauty and history make it an essential stop on your tour.

Only way to see Palermo!! - The tour was wonderful! They had a little bit of a scheduling problem because they had a malfunction with the car but they were great about communicating with me and actually the later time worked out better for me and my daughter. Guilio and Serena (probably misspelled, I apologize) actually took us on the tour and were so kind and accommodating. The tour was so informative and we were able to stop and take photos and even had time to wander around a little. Can't recommend the tour enough! We had a great time!!

A really fun day! - We had a fantastic time on this tour! It was fun and exciting to cruise around the street of Palermo in a convertible boat cruiser car. The guides were both great! They had snacks, drinks and a Bluetooth speaker available for us to use. We were enjoying our time and asked is we could extend our trip for a few hours more. I would highly recommend this experience. It was a fun way to see Palermo.

The only way to see Palermo. - This is the way to see Palermo. We booked the additional two hours and guide which ran us an additional 220 Euros. The guide was excellent giving us a detailed history and insight as we toured the city for three hours. The vehicle was stocked with refreshments.

Fantastic Experience! To redo! - I had the privilege of living an unforgettable experience on board the superyacht in Palermo. Not only was the boat itself a sight to behold, but the service was impeccable. The crew was always attentive and helpful, ensuring every detail was perfect. Sailing along the Palermo coast with the sea breeze and breathtaking views elevated the experience to a whole new level. Whether sunbathing on deck, dining with a panoramic sea view or exploring hidden coves, every moment on board was magical. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience Palermo from a unique perspective. A must for lovers of luxury and adventure!

No properly informed of tour duration - When I booked tour I was not told that tour was only one hour long. That’s not enough time to go to Monreale and Palermo’s city center. So I had to extend tour by two hours. That cost an additional 240 euros besides the $325 I had already paid. The tour cost over $600. For three hours total. The car was great as it was an open cabriolet. The driver Pietro and guide Fabrizio were great. I just wish I had been told that it was only an hour tour when I first booked it. I was under the impression that the tour would be three hours for the original price I paid. Instead at last minute I had to fork out an extra 240 euros plus tip for driver and guide.
