Alessia was a knowledgeable guide. Very obliging and helpful. We enjoyed hearing more about the Sicilian culture.

The tour is designed to help first time visitors see major attractions in Palermo without getting lost. So they are supposed to pick you up. And I made sure to schedule the pickup when I booked the tour. The night before the tour I received a msg saying I was only 3minutes away so I could walk to them. I checked google maps and found the walk was more like 13minutes. I explained this in my response and also my propensity for getting lost. They insisted it was 3min and they would not pick me up. Needless to say, my first day in Palermo, after app 22hr of travel, I became hopelessly lost and never made it to the pickup point.

The guide never showed up. No message. No way to reach anybody at Viator. No apology from anyone. Viator should be ashamed. Awful experience.

The guide was not an official guide, incompetent. I stopped the tour after 20 minutes after he explained something I knew better.

Upon booking this tour online, I did not locate our hotel from the list so I wrote to the tour operator providing our Hotel Name & address. When I did not Recieve a reply I then called the tour operator. I told her the name of our hotel and she confirmed my written inquiry & told me No Problem we will pick you up. At the hotel I called the day before the tour and was told NO PICKUP because our hotel was not City Center. Should have told me in advance & I’d have cancelled.

Salvatore was an excellent guide to have for our introduction to Palermo. Being exceptionally well travelled himself he was able to choose venues for our walking tour that gave a good foundation for further enjoying the city including restaurants and street food options we might not have found otherwise. In addition to the street savvy, he is well versed in the history and cultural influences impacting the city and Sicily overall. Furthermore since Viator booked three hours and his agency indicated only two, the issue was resolved quickly and professionally. We had our three hour tour! Highly recommended.
