What are people saying about Palermo

AlannaSiegel, July 2026

Just book!

Sergio and his assistant were so amazing. Unfortunately we had some trouble with calling a taxi and we were significantly late. However Sergio was very accommodating and still delivered on our full boat trip. The spots that he brought us were beautiful. Additionally, him and his assistant were very good hosts and provided such a lovely day. It was truly the highlight of our trip and we will continue to recommend people to book this same boat trip.

Palermo: Grand Tour in CruiserCar

Kim_R, July 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!

She was so kind and knowledgeable, and pointed out truly authentic locations to visit and dine at. This tour showed us all major sights and got our toes wet. We truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone!

Very natural, informative, and great with kids!

Francesco was incredible! Very knowledgeable especially about the Palermo architecture and history, led us to more “off the beaten path” places, and was wonderful with our 2 year old who joined us on the trip. Very much worth it if you want to get the sense of Palermo in just a few hours. Highly recommend!

Palermo No Mafia walking tour: discover the Anti-mafia culture in Sicily

Christine_Y, July 2026

Very Interesting Tour

This was a historical tour combined with present day information. Our young guide, Guiseppe, was well-spoken, prepared, and sincere. The content could have taken a political tone, but Guiseppe provided balanced facts and let us come to our own conclusions. His love and appreciation for Palermo was evident and heartwarming.

Great tour of popular Sicilian foods

This tour is an absolute must-do when you’re in Sicily! Our tour guide, Emma, did a fantastic job taking us to try popular local foods. She even had skip-the-line tickets for the bakery at the Monastery of Santa Caterina, so we avoided the long wait, and those cannoli were delicious. Emma was also incredibly knowledgeable about the highlights of Sicily along our walk. I highly recommend this tour!

Palermo : Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale CruiserCar Tour

Megan_F, Sept 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.
