"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. "

Insider tips and great orientation.
"Luca was very nice and accommodating. Wish we had a longer tour."
"We booked a last minute tour with Luca. He was punctual and very polite. Luca showed us the highlights of Palermo and gave us ideas and recommendations for the rest of the evening. He was very informative about the history of Palermo and patient with our children. Thank you for a fun afternoon and great learning experience!"
"We had a great city tour with Loredana - she showed us the highlights of Palermo and gave us ideas of how to best spend the rest of our time. She informed is about the city’s history, culture and delicious food. We also appreciated the explanation she gave of the history of the Mafia issues in the city, helping us to understand its history, particularly from the early 1980s to 1992, and the strong anti Mafia spirit in the community since. Loredana is enthusiastic about her city, and she was very welcoming, and a pleasure to spend time with. She also gave is some restaurant recommendations and very kindly offered to help with any other advice needed. The tour was the highlight of our time in Palermo."
"Luca tailored a thoughtful tour for me in the city of Palermo. He was courteous, prompt and very knowledgeable. It was great to have a guide who grew up in this colorful and storied place who lovingly and critically spoke about the past, present and future of each landmark and noteable place that we walked. He also gave me a great sense of the local flavors and when we stopped for fresh juice in the market and pastry at the convent! Luca is kind, professional and smart. I am so glad I was able to book him and learn about his city."
