Just Book it!! - Mauro was our wonderful guide around beautiful busy Palermo. His passion for his city was inspiring! His knowledge of the Palazzo Reale and the Cathedral was fabulous and he explained many aspects that we would not have known. Thank you Mauro. You made our visit to Palermo absolutely memorable. Grazie.

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

Amazing afternoon in Palermo - We had a wonderful afternoon with Mauro. He speaks perfect German and knows everything about Palermo. Lots of super interesting information about the history of the city and Sicily…I was travelling with my boys (12 and 14) and they loved it too. Look no further - Mauro is your perfect guide for Palermo!

An incredible visit - Very good experience, I went with my whole family and they were very careful about the distances so as not to walk so much. Very knowledgeable about the history and the area, I definitely recommend it.
