This time we have chosen to discover Palermo in a walking tour. That was our first time in Palermo and our guide, knowing this detail, made a point in explaining and making us discover the main landmarks of this beautiful Sicilian city. After that he suggested a wonderful local restaurant where we had lunch and it was indeed very good food reasonably priced and the restaurant was full of local people, which is, when you don't know a city, the best token for good quality. After lunch our guide walked us back to our cruise. Thank you very much Tour Travel for this great experience

La gestión fue muy eficaz, en pocas horas hicimos la solicitud y nos confirmaron un guía privado para menos de 48 horas. Nuestro guía, Emilio, nos hizo una espléndida visita de 3 horas por la ciudad de Palermo. Es una ciudad grande con mucho contenido que visitar y nos estructuró perfectamente el tiempo y los lugares más destacados. Además de sus excelentes conocimientos sobre la historia y monumentos de Palermo, nos dió información sobre la cultura, la sociedad y la gastronomía de Sicilia. Fuimos un grupo privado de 11 personas de diferentes edades y todos salimos encantados. Completamente recomendable, sin duda.
