Salvatore is your guy!
"Salvatore (\u201CSalvo\u201D) introduced us to the historically rich city of Palermo in the best possible way! His deep knowledge of the city\u2019s history and culture kept us completely engaged as we explored its many fascinating neighborhoods. Salvo\u2019s energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and his excellent English made everything easy to follow and enjoyable. He also shared great insider tips on what to see next and where to eat \u2014 the kind of local advice that makes a trip truly special. We only wish we hadn\u2019t been booked up, because it would have been wonderful to experience even more of Palermo with him! Highly recommended!"

Excellent tour with an expert!
"We booked Salvatore for a 3 hour private walking tour of Palermo. We had a terric mornong learning about the history and sights of the city, and Salvatore tailored our tour to ensure we did not replicate our sightseeing with a food tour we had booked for next day. A great ambassador for his city and a very knowledgable guide. Thanks for a great introduction to Palermo!"
"Salvatore is an amazing guide to Palermo. This tasting tour gave us a great sampling of local foods and Salvatore was terrific in explaining where they came from and why they are popular in the region and Sicily. He also knows an incredible amount of history for Palermo, Sicily and Italy. If you want a great tour and and a fantastic guide to foods and the historical part of Palermo - Salvatore is a great choice!"
"Salvatore was a fantastic guide! Right from the start he was interested in what kind of tour we wanted and how he could flex it to our preferences - including where the location we would finish so it was most convenient for us. He spoke not just with knowledge and passion about the food and the region but wanted to get to know us so he could add in things as we went. This made the afternoon feel really special. "
"Our group of 4 enjoyed Salvatore's tour even more than we thought we would. We didn't know much about Palermo before our day trip, so we so happy he provided such a good mix of history and local knowledge of the city, Sicily, and his neighborhood. We highly recommend this tour with Salvatore and hope to book with him whenever we come back to Palermo."
"I have taken this tour with Salvatore twice. The first time I was traveling alone and was so impressed with Salvatore's depth of knowledge, love for his city and his kindness and warmth. All of these qualities make him an outstanding tour guide. When I returned to Palermo with my husband, I knew I wanted him to experience this tour with Salvatore. He loved it AND I appreciated doing this tour again because it is hard to absorb so much rich history in one experience. I cannot recommend him more highly. When I return to Palermo, I hope he is offering another tour experience is is available as a guide to other parts of Palermo. Grazie mille, Salvatore. "
