Alessandro is your guy to show your around Palermo - Alessandro met us at the cruise port and shared his hometown with us. He was very knowledgeable and also very personable.

Great Palermo tour with Alessia - Our guide Alessia was very engaging and made our visit to Palermo truly beautiful and interesting. She shared many facts with us, and although we arrived tired from our flight to an unfamiliar city, Alessia introduced us to the history of Sicily in a very warm and welcoming way and passed on to us her passion for Sicily. This tour was a great starting point for the rest of our Sicily travel, and we recommed this tour with Alessia very much.
