We had such a memorable day with Dario our tour guide and driver. He was EXCEPTIONAL!!! 5 out of 5 stars. He promptly picked my wife and me up at our B&B and we were off on our journey. We saw Monreal (which had one of the most beautiful cathedrals we've seen on our visit to Italy), almost all the primary sites in Palermo, Santuario di Santa Rosalia, and Mondello Beach. What separated Dario from all the other drivers we've had on our trip is his attention to detail (he explained a lot of Polermo's history to us as he was driving), unwavering kindness (he stopped at several spots for us to eat, and try local foods), and professionalism (picked us up and dropped us off perfectly on time, and told us where he would pick us up after certain site seeing- even with pictures/google pin drops). If it were not for Dario this full-day tour would not be the same. Thank you!!! P.S. He has the best music choices in the car ride! :)

BUYER BEWARE>
I have booked with Viator on more than a few occasions.
I usually check just the tour and the itinerary.
It is probably my own fault for neglecting the small print, but Viator was always easy for me to negotiate.
However, on this occasion, I assumed that a private Palermo and Monreale Historical tour was just that.
I did not realise that it was just a Mercedes taxi to the location.
The day was so disappointing having to pay about 43 euro per hour while visiting at our own expense historical sights that were within walking distance from our accommodation.
We had assumed that it was a guide tour.
It was really just a hop on hop off Mercedes.
Lorenzo, our English speaking Guide/Driver did not understand our requests spoken in English.
We visited only a few of the programmed destinations.
And our driver tried to drop us off after 6 instead of 7 hours.
BUYER BEWARE.

Giovanni is a fantastic tour guide. He was knowledgable, flexible and accommodating. His love for Palermo gave us insight into the city’s past, present and future. Seeing the city’s traditional and untraditional features we had a day full of learning, laughter and food. It was perfect, on a no so perfect weather day.

We took the tour from the depot on via V Emanuele near the Cattedrale. Not very expensive. After about 45 minutes (this will depend on the day of the week, time of day) When we got to about 1/2 mile from the Church we were let off and walked uphill in the heat and sun. There was a 11 Euro charge to enter the Church. Sorry, I was not paying this. It cost us nothing to tour the Cathedral in Palermo and nothing for the Basilica and most churches in Venice. While we were there a City bus pulled up. Hmmmm! We had a gelato across from the church and walked back to where the bus had dropped us off. I suggest getting local bus info from the Visitor Center.
