Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide

5.0Fascinating. Guide was very knowledgeable and was an art history major. She spoke excellent English but was from Palermo. She looked after her group and even protected us from getting hit by cars when crossing the chaotic streets. The architecture is so varied and we got to go inside the cathedral. Wonderful.

4.0Great overview of Palermo with hidden location gems, which you only get knowledge of with a local brilliant guide. The reason for the lower rating is the cathedral portion was missed due to a wedding, yet the guide had no alternative sites permitted by the agency to view with guests. This shortened the tour by 20 minutes. Suggest that guests bring water to stay hydrated in the tour.
Delightful
