    Maurizio truly loved his job, and you can feel. The tour lasted 3 hours and it was impossible not to pay attention. He told us a lot of amazing details as about the city’s history and present. He is not a dry tour guide type - he shared his opinion about the city’s politics and taught me how to haggle with local merchants properly.

    In our travels, we have known very good guides, but Maurizio is really engaging. He told us about Palermo, not exaggerating with useless information or, as he says: “that you can read yourself”, but transferring all his knowledge (so much) to make us live the sites visited with details and links that only a person as prepared as he can transmit. We were lucky enough to participate in two tours on different days so we could better appreciate his tireless telling. Thank you!

    Walking around the city with Maurizio was very nice because, apart from the more tourist attractions, he made us notice Little details that enrich the memory of Palermo. I also really liked the fact that he shared WhatsApp and so there was an immediate and continuous link. Her sympathy meant that my daughter also enjoyed learning interesting things. Thank you.
