“Palermo walking tour ”

Maurizio is a very knowledgeable guide, plus you can tell he is a Palermitano DOCG like Prosecco ????. All jokes aside, after the tour we can say we know a little better the history of Palermo. A 5* review thank you very much.

“Excellent experience ”

Really an excellent experience this tour with a "Sicula DOC" guide, Maurizio, who told us places and anecdotes of Palermo of yesterday and today. The tour lasted 3 hours but they flew way too fast! Experience to be repeated.. Last but not least, Maurizio had the foresight to manage the ride with prevalence in shady areas and roads, without roasting us in the sun, as unfortunately would have been the case on a very hot day in the middle of August. Thank you very much indeed. Claudio

“Magnificent discovery of Palermo!!!”

We stayed in Palermo from March 14 to 18, 2024. We decided to discover Palermo with a guide the day after our arrival and I have to say that it was very helpful for the rest of our stay, we were able to learn more about certain topics thanks to the guide. Maurizio is a very kind person, listening to people and sharing many of his experiences living in the city. He gives a lot of useful tips and chose a perfect itinerary to discover the city. Do not hesitate, if you go to Palermo, call him because it is really worth it!

“Excellent experience ”

Maurizio was an excellent guide, explaining to us, not only the historical-cultural aspects of Palermo, but also some socio-economic ones. Visiting Palermo for the first time with his tour was an excellent experience. I highly recommend him and thanks again! PS. He gave us, upon request also gastronomic tips, which we appreciated very much!
