The tour is quite expensive for what it offers. We walked around for 2 hours, did not go to the places according to the description of the tour. For €190.00 we could have done it ourselves and costs us nothing. The only reason we give 3 stars is because the Tour guide is very sweet.

We had a great tour with Michelangelo. He was very passionate about his city. We covered a lot of ground on our tour. Our group consisted of us older folks and our 6 grown children, ages 20 to 28. Guessing I would say Michaelangelo was in his mid 20s so he could speak to thr kids really well. Even though he gave us a lot of detail, he made sure to include little tidbits that we all enjoyed.

We came to Palermo without any prior knowledge of the city and didn’t have too much expectations : Salvo was a great host, instead of a tour guide he was more like a friend bringing us around the city. It was so relaxing and we were not bombarded with too much “history lessons “ along the way. His tour "Highlights and Hidden Gems" of Palermo is not to be missed. Who better to introduce us to Palermo than a guide who was born and raised in Palermo but has travelled far and wide, with all the information that normally only locals know.
Whether the Palazzo Reale, the Cathedrale Di Palermo, the Teatro Massimo, the Duomo di Palermo, the Fontana Pretoria and many other sights and hidden treasures of Palermo were explained to us in an interesting and entertaining way. Salvo gave us an unforgettable experience, he treated us as "friends in his home".
Thank you Salvo, for your great stories and for your hospitality!

We had a great tour with Loredana. She was able to accommodate a tour with us on short notice, when other plans fell through, and was able to customize our tour to the UNESCO locations that we wanted to see. Loredana speaks great English and has a wealth of knowledge about the city. We covered all of the major sights in the historic center plus a few that we had walked past on our own. It was particularly interesting to see the No Mafia memorial and museum and learn a bit of the Sicilian history that you don't see anywhere else. If you have the chance to go to the Santa Caterina Church, Monastery, and Bakery - take it! The cannoli and frutta di martorana are DELICIOUS in a gorgeous setting. Thank you, Loredana, for a wonderful afternoon!

We had a great time on this tour.
Salvatore was a most kind and informative guide. As we both are working on our Italian, he spent the first two hours speaking in that language. He was very careful to make it as easy for us as possible. When our brains were starting to say “basta!” he changed to English for us.
He took us to a range of places, sharing little gems, as the tour promised. Lots of good recommendations.
We were not disappointed. A great tour, and a great guide.
