Terrible, Terrible, Terrible!!!!

George_H, Jun 2025

Don’t do it! I use Viator all the time but this was the biggest rip ever. $415 for nothing but a car service which I could have done for less than $200 for 4 hours.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear customer we are sorry that you were not satisfied with our service, but when you book something you have to read what it offers and how much it costs so as not to be disappointed. We have tried to satisfy your every request by taking you to Mondello as well.

Cathedral mosaics are...

Donna_J, May 2025

Cathedral mosaics are amazing. Catacombs are uniquely interesting. Of significant historical interest.

Great your!

This tour is a captivating experience for anyone intrigued by history and culture. The journey begins at the Capuchin Monastery in Palermo, where you’ll explore the remarkable Catacombs. These halls are filled with the mummified remains of Sicilian aristocrats from the 17th and 18th centuries, preserved by the Friars through natural techniques. It’s a deeply moving and historically significant site that immerses you in the mysterious allure of Palermo’s past. The second part of the tour takes you to the beautiful city of Monreale, perched on the slopes of Monte Caputo. This city, with its Arab-Norman roots, offers a stunning example of cultural fusion. The highlight is the majestic Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its intricate Byzantine mosaics and the towering Christ Pantocrator. The blend of architectural styles and the sheer scale of the Duomo is breathtaking. Throughout the journey, our driver Marco was fantastic, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking to explore the depth and beauty of Sicily’s history, this tour is a must.

Not worth the money

Carla_N, Oct 2024

This was an overpriced tour. The sites and time were not worthwhile. A group tour would have been better. Save your money; Book something else.

Great vehicle and entertaining driver.

Our driver Massimo was informative and entertaining. He got us there quickly and safely despite heavy rain. He pointed out things to see and visit as we drove to our 2 main destinations. His English was also very good.

Our driver was very nice.

We wanted to shorten the visit to the church, so our driver gave us a scenic drive around downtown. Viator is very annoying in how they make you fill out reviews.

This was a great tour where we not only visited the catacombs but other sites also as we were able to use our time efficiently. The guide also suggested and dropped us at a great restaurant.

The driver was excellent....

Mirella_P, Jul 2023

The driver was excellent. Very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend. To anyone going to Palermo

Four hours of history and wonder.

Karen_R, Jul 2023

Sal was a wonderful guide-/ his knowledge in beyond compare. He was a pleasure to listen to and he was kind and patient. Our tour group was only four souls. The other couple were also a pleasure to spend our 4 hours with. After the tour the five of us had lunch at a great little family restaurant. Go with Sal and you will have a day to remember.
