This was a perfect way to start our trip to Palermo. Salvatore was incredibly knowledgeable and talented at speaking of the history of the city in a fascinating way. He gave us a ton of tips on different museums, historical sites, restaurants, and fun night life areas to go explore further during our stay. The tour was a perfect mix of history and culture and you can tell that he’s great at catering to your interests. Definitely recommend doing it at the beginning of your trip.

Highly recommend experiencing Palermo through Salvatore's expert guidance.

We had an amazing experience with Loredana! She took us around the core of Palermo, letting us know which places to book tours and which places are better seen from the outside! We tasted amazing cannoli and delicious espresso from Monestero S. Caterina! Loredana told us about the history of Palermo and many interesting facts that we won't forget. Overall a great experience and perfect introduction to Palermo!

This tour was fantastic, and our guide, Michelangelo, was the best! He was very flexible and accommodating to our requests and tailored the tour to our interests. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Palermo. We also appreciated the recommendations he sent us after the tour ended. My husband and I can’t recommend the tour and Michelangelo highly enough.

Luca was an amazing guide and really made our trip to Palermo special. He took us off the beaten path and to lots of secret spots that you wouldn't see on your typical tours. We covered so much in such a short amount of time! You can tell he's super knowledgable about Palermo and its history. He also gave us further guidance about restaurants and bars that were worth checking out. Luca was super kind and friendly, and we'd recommend his tour to any one!

Salvatore was excellent tailoring the tour to our interests and integrating history with special places in Palermo that not all tourists visit. Well worth the three hour tour.

Ana M

Great tour, time flew by! Michelangelo was very friendly and knowledgeable about Palermo, we learned so much from him. He showed us some great spots and gave us great tips. We would have never been able to see, experience and appreciate Palermo so much if we hadn’t taken this tour. Highly recommended!
