Had a wonderful historical tour of Palermo with Simon. My family of six, included two teenagers, enjoyed all the knowledge Simon had to share with us. I highly recommend using Simon as your guide.

We met Simon at the Porta Nova to start our tour along with another couple. From the start you could feel his love for Palermo and his passion for history. The tour was full of interesting anecdotes, facts and views. We even got an inside peek of the mayor’s offices and of the mayor himself! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot about this fascinating city. If you only do one tour, this should be the one you do
