Overview of the tour in Palermo

Wolfgang Goethe once said: "Italy without Sicily leaves no image in the spirit; here lies the key to everything". Palermo, the multicultural capital of the Mediterranean, is a place where its contradictions are hidden and displayed.

Join us to discover this incredible city, full of hidden alleys, churches and squares. At every corner you will find a story that yearns to be told, from the adventures of Arab princesses and the heroic deeds of Norman kings, to the darkest part of our history: the Sicilian mafia.

Sicilians have lived through it all, sometimes welcoming the conquerors with hope and sometimes rejecting them with violence, always in search of peace and prosperity. In this tour, I invite you to visit the most iconic places in the center of Palermo and to discover the anecdotes that give life to the city, from its origins to the present day, to understand the true essence of Sicily without getting lost in forgettable historical dates. Don't miss it!
