5.00Martina picked us up on time from our hotel. I had sent Martina a list of all the places we wanted to see. In the 3 hours we were able to see everything except one place which was at least a 1 hour visit which we did by ourselves. Martina was very informative, explained everything in detail and gave us time to go into different sights to spend time to look around. She was fun, laughed at our jokes. and you could see. she. loved her job. We would definitely use her again. if we visited again and highly recommend her to all future travelers.

Cathedrals, Quattro Canti and Cannoli

5.00Fun tour with Bianca in Palermo. We visited Teatro Massimo, Piazza Pretoria, Quattro Canti and several other sites/attractions. Our favorite was having a cannoli in the courtyard of a former monastery. The cannoli was freshly filled to order and the best we'd ever had. We ended our day at Palermo Cathedral (must see). It was an educational and interesting tour. Bianca was a great guide.
Outstanding and fun guided tour

5.00Delia is such a wonderful guide, full of knowledge and love for her home city of Palermo. She led us to so many wonderful experiences, starting at the Quattro Canti, followed by the Cathedral, and then the superb Royal Palace and Garden, including the incredible Palatine Chapel. We concluded our tour walking through Capo market, where we happily returned for lunch. A superb morning, highly recommended!

5.00Experience Palermo with a born & bred resident of Palermo. Our guide Alessandro is very knowledgeable and passionate and is an excellent host. As he did not have an afternoon tour he extended our tour to 3+ hours and took us to a local food outlet popular with locals. Alessandro went out of his way to ensure we had a fabulous experience
