Great overview with Fabrizo

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a great time on the Market and Monuments tour. Fabrizo was great - very knowledgeable yet also knew the right amount of detail to provide. The tour was 1.5-2 hours of Il Capo market and 1-1.5 hours of 'monuments' - Cathedral, Quatro Canti, etc. I probably would like a bit more monuments, my wife a bit more market - so probably the right mix! Highly recommended.

A tasty orientation to Palermo's historic center

Published on May, 2024

After a work trip to Sciacca, I was able to fit in 2 1/2 days of sightseeing in Palermo. Key to getting my bearings, finding my way around Palermo and figuring out where I wanted to spend more time exploring was this walking tour that also included a great selection of Sicilian street food snacks. The Capo Market visit was great, very colorful, and tasty! Our guide Fabrizio is a Palermo native which was nice bonus. We got some Palermo slang vocabulary lessons in addition to the history of the area, and the food. Tips for people considering this tour: plan to arrive hungry, and don't book a meal immediately afterward. This afternoon tour was my lunch. Carry wet hand wipes to help tidy up between stops. Wear comfortable shoes - lots of walking around the historic center area of Palermo. There are a few tops along the way with seats to rest which was a good thing as it got hot/sunny in the afternoon.

A birthday treat.

The hotel is very nice and central. Only a few minutes walk to town centre. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was excellent . We got parking next to the hotel . Overall I had a very pleasant stay. I'd mark it 10 out of 10.

A great experience!

I spent a month at the monsoon riverside hotel and it is such a beautifully run hotel. Led by their manager Sopot his team takes care of you. among the chaos of the area Sopot provides a welcome oasis! I will stay here again!

Great tour
