This tour is the best way to get an initial taste of the city of Palermo.

We will start from the Teatro Massimo, the flagship of Italian theatre, and then head towards the Mercato del Capo. Here we will walk among the sellers' stalls listening to their "abbanniate", smelling the thousand aromas and seeing the many colors of the street dishes.

We will admire the Cathedral of Palermo and its thousand-year history, then we will go towards the Quattro Canti to understand the meaning of one of the most "scenic" monuments of the city.

Then we will take a trip to the well-known Piazza della Vergogna to discover the many stories that lie behind every corner and then head towards Piazza Bellini with the Church of the Admiral and San Cataldo.

And finally, to conclude on a "sweet" note, we will say goodbye to the Cloister of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria.

Visiting Palermo with Virginia means entering the soul of this city. It led us to the Palermo of the heart rather than to that of famous monuments. A real privilege. Thanks to his stories, by Palermo doc, full of real emotion you have the opportunity to understand a lot of recent history and the men who gave Palermo a second chance. In short, history, life, emotions in Palermo. Thank you very much Virginia

Seeing Palermo through Virginia's eyes was an experience that leaves an indelible mark in your heart. She takes you by the hand through the streets of this city, telling you about the ancient history, the culinary tradition, but above all the modern history of resistance and of desire for rebirth. His strength lies in the love he has for this land and in transmitting it to those who listen to him
A formidable guide

Virginia was a wonderful discovery, we immediately felt in tune. He accompanied us on a tour of Kalsa, a district of Palermo, full of suggestions. And then he showed us the Palatine Chapel in a masterly way. Having her as a guide was a gift on a holiday discovering the beauties of Palermo.
unmissable tour of Palermo

on the tour that everyone should experience, Virginia gives you the privilege not only of seeing every corner of the city, but of feeling it, of imagining every single passage of the different cultures that characterize it. Virginia takes you by the hand and takes you into a whirlwind of history, curiosities and anecdotes with contagious energy. Thank you

It's our first time in Sicily... And we decided to stop in Palermo before continuing on the private tour to Trapani, Agrigento, Modica and Catania. Our trusted agency recommended Virginia to us... a young girl enthusiastic about telling and transmitting her love for Palermo and more generally for Sicily! He accompanied us for half a day through the streets of the capital, guiding us among the most characteristic views and telling us about curiosities that not even the paper guide we had purchased was able to tell us... And... the icing on the cake... he also follows us on our remote tour, advising us and keeping in touch with us until the end of our holiday! Thanks Virginia!! Thank you!
Definitely a positive experience. To be recommended
