What are people saying about Palermo

Edit_M, Mar 2026

A must if you visit Palermo

Please take this tour. It’s extremely important to know all the historical facts about how the history of organized crime is intertwined with the social and political life of the city. The initiative which organizes the guiding tours is fascinating and deeply respectable . They need the support.

I now have much more of an understanding and heart for Palermo. This tour was very interesting and moved along well. The complementary freshly made cannolis near the end was special treat! We came from the port and were taken advantage of by the “taxi”. Be careful!

Cooking class in a villa with Palermo view

Matthew_R, Mar 2026

5 stars — Family + Kids

One of the best experiences of our entire trip. We booked this as a family of four, two adults and two girls (ages 7 and 11), and it exceeded every expectation. It was completely private, which made it feel incredibly personal and special. We started in the garden harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables with our daughters, then moved inside to make fresh pasta from scratch. Carlo was patient, engaging, and made everyone feel involved, even our youngest was completely absorbed the whole time. The setting, the views of Palermo, the food we made together, all of it was world class. This wasn’t just a cooking class, it was a genuine experience we’ll talk about for years. If you’re visiting Sicily with family, do not skip this. Highest possible recommendation.

Who knew!

Such a fun experience! While I don’t cook, i love to eat. The instructions in the class gave me the knowledge to prepare the foods if i desired. So obviously this is a great fun class for anyone. The instructor(chef) was fabulous and patient and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was clean and inviting with the end product of pizza & gelato being deliciously edible. Do it, you won’t regret it!

What a fantastic first day in Palermo. Our chef, I believe his name was Marcello, was great. He made the class fun and informative. He was very organized and made learning easy.

Great tour!

We arrived to Palermo by cruise ship. There were six of us. Annalisa gave detailed directions to meet her. We were a bit late, and she was kind to wait. Make sure you have WhatsApp so she can keep in touch. Annalisa’s tour was so much fun, and her knowledge and love for her city was evident. Highly recommend.

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Richelle_L, Oct 2025

Top tier tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was an amazing experience!!!!! As we drove through Palermo, it was evident that this open cruiser city tour was the best way to learn about the history and culture of Palermo. There were stops on this tour that we would not have made a priority and we are so glad we had the opportunity. Fabrizio and Antonio were incredible hosts. Antonio was so funny and Fabrizio was passionate about sharing his beloved city with us. The ride had a hospitality chest full of snacks and drinks. Both Fabrizio and Antonio were accommodating to our requests. We purchased the 6-hour tour and could have spent more time with the Antonio and Fabrizio, especially in the market; we needed more time for shopping. When Fabrizio wasn’t sharing history or culture with us, he played a fabulous mix of music. One helpful hint: if you are touring with anyone hearing impaired, have them sit in the seats closest to the driver and guide so they can hear better. There is not an audio speaker to the back seats. 10/10-we would do this tour again. Well worth the investment of time and money.

Palermo: Tour Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale in CruiserCar

Gina_M, Aug 2025

Amazing Experience- Book This!!

My husband and I did the Cruiser Car tour of Palermo with the extended 3 hour tour- this was amazing!! Fabrizio was a wonderful tour guide- providing us with a great history of the city and really sharing his love of Palermo. Antonio was our driver navigating the narrow streets with ease (I would have crashed 17 times over!) but we felt so safe and well taken care of! We did a driver around the streets of Palermo, then headed to the Catacombs where we learned a little about how their history and how they are so different from those in Paris and Rome. We went inside for a self guided walk. Then we went up to Monreale to the Cathedral with some amazing history behind the building and blending of cultures. We went inside for a self guided tour. Then we went back down into city center to the Palermo Cathedral and did a self guided walk after learning about the history of the building. We did some more driving around the city to learn about the palace, two opera houses and back to our hotel. Would 10/10 recommend this tour. Everything was perfect and both Fabrizio and Antonio made sure your experience was excellent. The car was super clean and so fun, the snacks were offered and lots of drinks on offer- we just had Prosecco and water
