Stefano was an excellent...

Joseph_B, Jan 2026

Stefano was an excellent guide and helped us experience so much more of the city than we would have on our own. He was so knowledgeable and personable and clearly has a passion for Palermo and Sicily. He made our limited time in Palermo impactful.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

We’re so glad to hear this experience helped you make the most of your limited time in Palermo and come away with something truly memorable. Knowing it added depth and local insight you would not have found on your own means a lot to us, thank you for sharing your feedback.
