Fantastic tour with Luca

Published on Dec, 2024

We had a wonderful tour with Luca of Palermo. He is very knowledable about the area and provides a lot of details on the history, architecture, and culture of Palermo. He is very easy to talk to and provides a lot of information on what else to see and do in Palermo. We feel very fortunate we have had Luca as our guide to the amazing city of Palermo. We highly recommend him as a tour guide.

A Three Hour Walk in Palermo with Salvatore

Published on Oct, 2024

We spent three hours walking the streets of Palermo with our outstanding guide Salvatore. He provided rich history, humor, great insights and useful information to give us an overview of his amazing city. He gave us a memorable experience about his city, his people and the culture. We had a great afternoon

Really Great Guide in Palermo, Fabio.

Published on Oct, 2024

We really enjoyed our time with Fabio in Palermo. He's such a great guy. Personable, kind and extremely knowledgable about Palermo and its history. Born & raised in Palermo, he's super passionate about showing you his hometown.

Amazing host who loves his city and who communicates it in a numerous friendly way.

Published on Oct, 2024

Salvatore calls it “Walks with friend” and it was just that. But a friend who knows the good stuff. Fantastic communication skills and we really did see some hidden gems. I learnt a lot, even that I like spleen! His knowledge of Palermo seemed endless and he obviously loved sharing it - in a humorous and thoughtful way. Time flew by.

Interesting tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a great time with Salvatore. Very well on time, he guided our very international 6 adult group of friends. He is knowledgeable but not a "Professor", he can be funny and knows some Storys behind. He was taking care and listening to all our questions and he tried constantly to keep everybody involved and interested. We all were very happy with his tour through Palermo. We can recommend Salvatore highly.
