      Super tour of Palermo

      "We had a private tour with Karolina in Palermo old town in September. As first-timers in Palermo we got a brilliant introduction and orientation of this lively city. Karolina quickly picked up what we were interested in and got us in the right mode, with her relaxed and positive style. She is very knowledgeable of the city itself but given here well travelled life, she did also manage to place Palermo into both a geographical as well as historical context. Even before we me her she had some suggestions on places to eat and things to visit, and she gave us further suggestions off the tourist track to see and experience. We highly recommend her to anyone serious about learning about Palermo and understanding its vibe. Thank you again, Karolina!"

      Great time

      "The tour guide who showed up for the tour was not Valeria. I do not recall her name but she was lovely. We had a great time discussing the history of Palermo, going to two markets and exploring some churches. "

      Best guide and tour!

      "Fabio was amazing. He curated the tour to our needs. He was knowledgeable with the Sicilian history and the evolution of Palermo and its people. We were a group of 5 (from 50-77years old) and everyone had a fantastic time. Fabio took the time to answer all of our questions and would elaborate to give us even more information and history. We loved it. At the end of the tour he went out of his way to find us a wonderful place to eat and enjoy the remainder of our afternoon. If you are coming to Palermo and are looking for a guide, Fabio is a must."

      Church tour in Palermo
