Great guide, great tour

Published on Apr, 2024

Maurizio is a great guide. The tour gave us insights on Palermo that we would never get from a guidebook and made the rest of our time here much more meaningful.

Don‘t miss this tour!

Published on Mar, 2024

This tour was fantastic. Maurizio was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend to take this tour shortly after your arrival in Palermo, as you will learn a lot about the history and the structure of the city, which will make you enjoy your time here even more. Maurizio was very well prepared and professional, and also so nice to give us valuable advice about what and where to eat. All in all a great experience. Don‘t miss it!

A fabulous walk through historic Palermo

Published on Feb, 2024

Absolutely fabulous!! Our tour guide, Maurizio, was knowledgeable, chatty and friendly and kept us entertained with facts and background stories for the whole 2-3 hours. It was a pleasant walk through old Palermo, past historic buildings, statues, piazzas and a market. The pace was not frenetic and Palermo is pretty flat so you don't have to be super for this walk. Happy to recommend!! Grazie Maurizio!!!
