What’s around Heart of Palermo - The guide (Fabrizio) is really prepared and made the tour engaging for everyone, alternating anecdotes with historical explanations about the most iconic places in the city, especially focusing on the oldest neighborhoods of Palermo. In general a nice experience, which I would recommend to those who want to discover more about this fascinating city.

Discovering Palermo with Maurizio! - In our travels, we have known very good guides, but Maurizio is really engaging. He told us about Palermo, not exaggerating with useless information or, as he says: “that you can read yourself”, but transferring all his knowledge (so much) to make us live the sites visited with details and links that only a person as prepared as he can transmit. We were lucky enough to participate in two tours on different days so we could better appreciate his tireless telling. Thank you!

The hidden Palermo - Walking around the city with Maurizio was very nice because, apart from the more tourist attractions, he made us notice Little details that enrich the memory of Palermo. I also really liked the fact that he shared WhatsApp and so there was an immediate and continuous link. Her sympathy meant that my daughter also enjoyed learning interesting things. Thank you.
