We missed a guided walking tour so picked this up as a fall back. Good info and route to get you acquainted with Palermo. We did most of the sites in one day and picked up a few the following day. Well worth the cost.

Great guided walking tour would recommend

Janette_b, Oct 2025

Great tour with lots of information. Links were great to maps and the tour meant we visited all the important sights in an efficient order and most importantly in our own time.

Palermo sightseeing on foot

Fiona_M, Oct 2025

Excellent way of discovering hidden parts of Palermo on your own and at your own pace, would recommend

Great intro to Palermo

Chad_H, Sep 2025

Fantastic audio guide

Gemma_G, Sep 2025

Following a last minute cancelation of our guided tour in Palermo we booked onto this self guided audio tour. The instructions on how to use the guide were very clear and easy. The tour was easy to navigate and we chose the route that suited us. We were very glad that the guided tour canceled because we thoroughly enjoyed the self guide tour and would definitely book it again in other destinations.

Comfort

RitaAlba_V, Oct 2025

Useful and above all comfortable audio guide: you hear it and feel it again when you want. Well structured: explanations, anecdotes and very useful maps

I wouldn't take it again. No...

Joaquim_L, Jul 2025

I wouldn't take it again. It is not worth paying because it is very easy to do it on your own. You have to connect to a website with a password for audios.

Interesting option to walk around.

Maria_M, Jun 2025

The app works well on Google maps, the explanations are interesting and quite detailed. It's okay for whoever likes to walk around town. He sent us down some streets that he would have avoided, alley guy with a lot of waste, but that's fine.
