Rating: 3/5 ONLY due to the price tag of this tour. The price tag of $255 is WAY too much for what you get, which is a tour of the Mafia Museum (which you have to buy your own ticket - it was very inexpensive (< $10 per person) - and this tour comes with it's own guide - so the guide Viator contracts for is not your guide person for this. This was the primary thing we were interested in with this tour. It was ~45-minute to 1-hour rive away from Palermo, but, I cannot believe we are paying this price tag for the transportation.
This tour does include a stop oat Albanesi Village - and includes a magnificent canoli to eat.
Our personal tour guide (visiting us and one other couple on our tour) was Salvatore Caravello, a registered Italian tour guide. He was EXCELLENT! Very personable, and will try to tailor the tour to the things you're most interested in.
I raised the issue of cost of this excursion with Viator before doing it. They did agree to pay for a very nice lunch to be included (despite this not being offered in the billing of this excursion). But, even with this said, an ~ $30 per person lunch (MAX) and 1 canoli per person should not cost $255 per person. In my opinion, this tour may be a value of ~ $100-125 each).

Al bij al viel de rondleiding niet mee. De gids die (verplicht) meeging deed wel zijn best maar zijn uitleg was veel te beperkt. Ook wat er te zien is, viel tegen.
