Our guide, Umberto, was amazing! He drove, spoke English and explained everything in detail along the way as well as when we were in Castlebuono. Castlebuono was worth the journey, a very picturesque town on the top of a mountain with a castle. Great little shops . Also Cephalu is a must see. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Palermo!

Three Swims and a Secret Grotto

The perfect thing to do on a hot summer day in Palermo! Sergio took us along the beautiful coastline in his meticulously maintained Invictus powerboat, showed us a secret grotto and found three wonderful places for us to swim. It was relaxed, refreshing and such a lovely way to experience Palermo from the water. Sergio was charming and made the whole experience easy and personal. We loved it and absolutely recommend him.

Great Overview of Maria History in Sicily and how locals are fighting back!

The tour was excellent, very informative and inspiring. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Palermo who wants to learn more about the tumultuous history of the mafia in Sicily and how the locals are pushing back against it. Our guide was extremely kind and passionate about the subject.

Super time

It was a great boat trip. Kids (around 20 yo) had super fun on the float and with the motorized water scooter. Only glitch was he wanted to combine our morning trip with the later sunset cruise, with larger boat. We agreed, and the larger boat was much nicer for 7 people than the smaller one would have been, so it all worked out.

Loved this experience! I...

Loved this experience! I previously did a class with Towns of Italy in Florence on a different vacation which lead me to booking this class in Palermo. It’s a bright, clean kitchen with others. Yet you still feel the private experience sitting with your group, cooking together, enjoying the food and drinking wine. Highly recommend! Will continue booking with them in other cities :)

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Kim_R, Jul 2026

Excellent Way To Tour Palermo

Fabrizio, our tour guide was amazing. He was knowledgeable, very easy to understand, and did an excellent job showing us the sites and explaining the history. Just make VERY sure there are no reports of extreme hot weather/fires, etc. We were on a cruise and the fires on the roads from Palermo to Catania closed the roads, so our bus ride back to Catania took seven hours instead of two, which means we missed our ship leaving the port for two days. Other than that, the tour itself was amazing!

The Palermo food tour with Emma was absolutely fantastic! I got to try so many dishes I’d never tasted before! it was a wonderful explosion of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed some delicious local wines and beers. Emma was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. She took me to authentic places where everything is made in the traditional way and explained so many interesting details along the way. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable from the start. I had such a great time that the tour flew by. I highly recommend this experience! Grazie :)

Palermo Historic Center Catacombs and Monreale CruiserCar Tour

Megan_F, Sep 2025

Absolute must when in Palermo!

This tour was honestly one of my family’s favorite things we did while in Sicily. Coming off of a busy few days in Rome, this was the perfect thing for us to do. It was us (5 adults), our driver and our guide, Fabrizio. The cruiser car was very comfortable (and VERY clean) and we had great weather. The amount of snacks and beverages included were far more than I had expected. They even tried to send more drinks with us from the cooler after the tour ended. We had some flight problems before arriving in Sicily and Fabrizio was wonderful to communicate with and changed our tour time to the afternoon with no issues. We got to learn some history during the tour while seeing amazing things and views. They offered to take group photos for us, too. They also offered to let us play our own music via the Bluetooth speaker but we told them to pick the music and their playlist was far better than ours would have been. We had a lot of people looking at us in the cruiser car, and we heard many of them saying, “Why didn’t we do something like that?!” We got to see all of the main sites without any hassle or walking forever. At the end, they offered to bring us back to our hotel or a restaurant, and we asked for restaurant recommendations. Their recommendations ended up being phenomenal. It was the most relaxed experience while being one of the most carefree/fun. I seriously cannot put into words how much my family and I enjoyed this. I thought more people would have booked this! Cannot recommend enough. We started comparing every excursion to this one. They set a high standard.
