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!

Maura was one of the best guides we have had anywhere in the world. He was very knowledgeable, funny and interesting. Highly recommend him.

We had the most amazing time during our private toor with Mauro. He went above and beyond to explain and answer the thousands of questions we fired at him. He also showed flexibility and patience while we were stopping at every street corner. He is from Palermo and knows thoroughly the terrain and he has a great sense of humor. We highly recommend his services.

Mauro was very informative and wonderfully pleasant. He explained some long, complicated history in a succinct and fun way. This tour is intimate and small so you’re not competing with other people for his attention to answer questions and explain. This was really a nice way to get the history of Palermo. I would highly recommend it.

Mauro was great! We had a rainy day, and he came through pivoted and found things for us to see and do. We wouldn’t have heard about the mafia without him improvising and it was very interesting.

The tour was well run and our guide (a history teacher) is a great guide, speaks English well, knows his stuff, and managed the group very well. I took off one star only because - there's just not enough critical to see in Palermo. Chuches (amazing yes but...) and more churches.... Bonus points to our guide!

Mauro was everything you want in a guide - informative, friendly, helpful a pleasure to be with. He kept us moving while allowing us enough time to savor the sights, ask questions and enjoy the tour. The Palazzo Reale and Chiesa di Gesu were definitely highlights.

My walking tour of Palermo was excellent. Alberto was both an outstanding guide and an enjoyable companion. The best part of the tour was all of the history that Alberto shared with me. The most memorable sight was the fabulous chapel at the Royal Palace. Thank you Alberto!

Mauro was fantastic!!! It was myself and my husband - we had a great time! You learn everything there is to know about Palermo. We were there over Easter and asked if he knew of a restaurant we should go to. He actually suggested, then called the restaurant to make us a reservation. The restaurant was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and excited about what he was showing us. We highly recommend!!

Mauro is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He knows Palermo inside and out. He will not leave you disappointed and is worth every penny. Highly recommend.
