A dream day in Palermo with Christian - Christian was at the port on time and messaged us that he was there. He welcomed us to the comfortable van. He helped us in and out of the van at each stop. Christian had an incredible itinerary and he was spot on with timing suggestions. He would stop at an interesting place and describe the incredible place or group of things we could see there with fantastic directions then suggest an amount of time then let us explore. As we returned to the van, he would be looking for us and coming closer to guide us back to the van He would ask how we liked the places. He tailed his choices of stops to the things we liked. I saw the inside of 3 incredible churches. His knowledge of history and Palermo/Sicilian culture made driving from one interesting place to another so filled with enriching information. He knows a little bit about every topic and can connect with each person in the vehicle. He never "just kept talking" to finish some narrative. He always keened in to who was listening and connected to us directly. Even when he had shown us most of the things on the itinerary, he mentioned seeing an old palace that is now a park which we loved. He stopped before the port to show us the oldest trees in Sicily just because we were enjoying that last few minutes with him so much!!! In this city I was overwhelmed with choices that I just didn't make a list of things to see. I was worried on that morning that I had let myself down by not messaging the company my must sees. Turns out this was the most relaxing day of our cruise because I felt seen, heard and understood by Christian and his choices of incredible places to see!! Lunch in Mondello made the day over the top.

Great tour to go at your pace - Humberto was an awesome driver! He knew so much about the history of the city and surrounding areas! You had enough time in each area to walk around and enjoy the sites. Both towns are very small and you really only need an hour in each. Mondello was an amazing beach town and we brought our bathing suites to swim in the bay and it was awesome!

Palermo In-Depth Discovered - Fabulous tour with guide CHRISTIAN. Picked up promptly at hotel with a spotlessly clean van. Exceedingly knowledge and narrated clearly in English the history, architecture, parks of Palermo, Monreale, Modelo. Pace of tour excellent. Leisurely stops to tour each site. Really in depth tour and shared current events as well. 2 hours in Mondelo for leisurely lunch, free time. I was immensely pleased with Christian and this tour. Highly recommend Christian as he is really passionate about his job and sharing Palermo's amazing history.

Great experience in Sicily - Wonderful experience. Humberto our guide was easy going and very knowledgeable of the area we visited. He dropped us off at each stop and allowed us to take as much time as we needed visiting. He was always there at the pickup point when we were done. I am very glad we chose Viator rather than the limited options on our cruise ship. Great Job!

Tour provided essential transportation to amazing sites; otherwise underwhelming - This tour provided the expected amount of transportation, but other than that, was completely underwhelming. Tour driver/guide was not very familiar with detailed history of sites, did not accompany me into the sites (is that Viator policy?), ended the tour earlier than the advertised time of 7 to 8 hours, and did not drive me to some nearby sites mentioned by me that were on the route and before the advertised tour end time. Once the driver ended the tour and dropped me off at the port, I walked back to these Palermo sites on my own. To the positive, the driver/guide was friendly, was flexible in the amount of time allowed at each site, and was always ready to pick me up at the agreed-upon location, even though I was late once or twice, communicating status/location via WhatsApp. The driver/guide offered on several occasions to stop for photos, which we did -- appreciated. Driver met me at the port with no issues. Tour highlight, other than the major cathedrals, was the public beach and nearby restaurants out past the WWII monument. These were completely enjoyable and unexpectedly delightful! Loved this aspect of the Palermo-Sicily experience. Fortunately, had read the history of Sicily ahead of time!
