    This tour began early ! I thoroughly enjoyed the rugged climbing up the mountain eventually to arrive at Santa Rosalia cathedral cave! I learned about the local culture and history and how life has been for those throughout generations as well as discussing modern issues and resolutions. Lorenzo isn’t just a guide he’s a friend to those he encounters. He represents his people very well and hears each voice of the differing generations of Palermo/Sicily. The landscape and views are nothing short of spectacular. It was a perfect finishing tour and hike in an important part of Palermo. A stones throw away from the city and a great accompaniment to a stunning upbeat city tour the day before! I highly recommend Lorenzo and the tour company for Palermo tours.

    This was a great tour! A good steep climb and a knowledgable guide about the natural environment as well as history and culture. The views were splendid and the guide friendly and of good character. I loved this trip! A good end to my holiday in Sicily .
