"Fabio was very patient as we got lost to meet him.
Enjoyed the tour, saw the highlights and enjoyed his knowledge of the Historical District.
Very helpful as being able to navigate the area going forward.
Many thanks Fabio."

Knoledgeable and Enthusiastic
"We were on a cruise and looking for just an overview of Palermo without a 3 -4 hour indepth guide. This kick start tour was very good and was exacetly what we were looking for: a snapshop of Palermo and its history and culture.
We learned a lot, walked by a lot of places - Fabio made recommendations of things to go into if we had time after the tour - and the only negativre was that he did not let us know that most placdes closed from 2-4+pm for afternoon siesta. This is important as we would have timed our tour with him to be during Siesta period and walked around to see the artisans and stores prior to his tour. "
"Dario was an amazing tour guide! We did the 10 Tastings tour along with our small baby, and he was super patient throughout. He showed us some real gems that we never would have found by ourselves. He explained a lot about Sicilian culture and customs that we found truly interesting. Thank you, Dario, for a wonderful tour!"

Definitely off the beaten track
"Salvatore was a fantastic host, who fully adapted our interests into the tour. He seems to have a huge knowledge of Palermos history and specials and can easily share those in a very sympathic and open way. Especially the contact before the tour, asking for our expectations was highly appreciated! It was interesting and fun to be your guest, thanks again! "

A wonderful overview with great surprises.
"Michelangelo was super responsive before our appointment, and he was on time when we met, and incredibly easy, friendly, knowledgeable. He seems to know how to meet people at their level and communicates easily and in a very open way. He provided a comprehensive overview of Palermo that laid the groundwork for our own independent explorations to follow.
Highly recommended."

Exactly what we hoped for
"Salvatore met us exactly on time at our easy-to-find rendezvous point. We learned a lot about the historical district and I know some of the things we saw would have been overlooked by us if we were on our own - or even if we were in a more traditional tour group. That’s what we love about these Off The Beaten Track tours.
Salvatore is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and also has a great sense of humor.
Thank you for giving us a great day. "

Great start to Palermo
"Aurora was very knowledgeable on the history of Palermo. Her tour was a great way to start our visit here and set the stage for our next 3 days. "
"Karolina was the best. She is effervescent and openly shares her love of Palermo. We did the Kalsa and city highlights tour with her and would do again. She answered all our questions, gave us a chance to quickly stop in a shop or make a purchase at an open market. Do. Or hesitate to book a tour or two with her!"
