Mauro was a great tour guide - Made Palermo super interesting - We had a spectacular tour guide Mauro who showed us around the city of Palermo. He made all the sites interesting for my husband and I and also my teenager was super engaged. We saw so many sites in the time we went on the tour. It exceeded all of our expectations. He went above and beyond to explain the layout of the city. Most of what he showed us we NEVER would have seen on our own because we couldn’t have fit that much in or just would not have known how great some of the sites were to see. The tour was the highlight of our Palermo trip. Thankfully we chose this tour and got Mauro for our guide. I would absolutely recommend him if your looking for a Palermo guide.

Wow! What an awesome tour! - What an amazing tour! From fish markets to produce markets to beautiful churches, Mauro was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable and definitely knows Palermo. He was super personable and made sure we hit all the sites that we needed to see. He loves his city and makes sure that you will too by the end of the tour. Although, you could walk around yourself, you will miss some very private places that he knows about. It's definitely worthwhile to have Mauro take you around to appreciate Palermo all the more. 10 stars!!!

Great experience and worth the cost! - Mauro was an amazing tour guide. I wasn’t sure if we needed to do a private walking tour, but I’m so glad we did, it was so much more low key than the large groups we saw all over the city. He knew so much about each place we went, and really seemed to love his city. He took us to visit some lesser known places, which were very unexpected and interesting. I highly recommend doing a private tour with him.

Wonderful afternoon in beautiful Palermo - We were 2 couples and booked a private tour with Mauro. He made us a lunch reservation at a restaurant in the historic capo market prior to our tour and it was a very enjoyable sicilian lunch. Mauro is a very easy going and fun guide. He is very knowledgeable, he showed us places we would not have found on our own which for me is one of the reasons to do private tours, but you do not always get this! The information provided was also very interesting. He furthermore provided great recommendations for our remaining time in Palermo. I will definitely recommend Palermo Wonders to family & friends!

A totally wonderful experience due to a totally professional and informative guide. - The private Palermo tour with Mauro was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and current city of Palermo. His presentations of the background of the Churches was wonderful. Every area we went through was made more entertaining by Mauro's insights.

Amazing tour! - We absolutely loved our tour with Mauro! Hi knowledge of Palermo and Sicily's history is impressive. He made sure to give us a tour tailored to our interests and went so far as to make himself available for us to call or text him with any questions or requests for recommendations at any time during our stay in Palermo. Thank you again, Mauro!

Palermo Wonders fabulous guided tour - Mauro was a brilliant guide. The tour around Palermo was very informative and interesting about the local history as well as what went on behind the scenes. His explanation of all the sculptures at the Oratorio di San Lorenzo was fascinating and amusing. We went back there again the next day as well as other places he suggested, including lovely restaurants and Capo market. Our time with him allowed us to make the most of the 2 days we have had in Palermo. We whole heartedly recommend Palermo Wonders for guided tours. Their ability to provide a private tour and customise the tour is well worth the expense. Thank you so much Mauro
