No Mafia Tour - This tour was a last minute decision for me and I found it very informative and interesting, finding out about the history of the Mafia. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he even allowed a coffee and toilet break. I recommend this tour but you should confirm the meeting place first.

Pleasant dander - Informative and easy paced dander. Have to say the town had a lot of rubbish laying around. Guide was good and spoke well on the subject.

To better understand - Tour made on May 24 with Federico, passionate and prepared Palermo. Three hours of tour to understand this city often suffering, but hiding a big heart. For those who want to understand and for those who want to understand better, it deserves

Outstanding Tour! - Giuseppe was an outstanding guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us engaged with fascinating facts and stories about the Mafia and Sicilian culture that we had never heard before. He was also very considerate, always finding shaded areas so we wouldn’t have to stand in the sun for too long. His English was excellent, making it easy for us to follow along and enjoy the experience.

Tour to better understand Palermo - We participated in the guided tour of Palermo focused on the history of the mafia and lace. The guide, Giuseppe, told in a concise and exhaustive way the evolution of the mafia in Palermo and took us to corners of the city that otherwise we would not have discovered. Super recommended to have a more in-depth view of Palermo and its history

Priceworthy tour through Palermo - Linda was a great guide with a lot of enthusiasm. 3 hours might seem too much, but it was the perfect length. During the tour, you will visit sites you would not visit or know about without the tour.

No Mafia - We expected stops at where the Mafia would gather in the past, hangouts and so forth. However what we got was an excellent history of the Mafia by our guide. Be prepared to stop 3 or 5 times during the walk where the guide would speak 15-20 minutes at each stop.
