Fascinating tour - This is one of the most informative tours I have taken. Larissa was full of knowledge about Palermo, its ancient and modern history including the story of the mafia. She took us on a journey through the streets and also through time and painted a wonderful picture of what was and what now is. Her understanding of the people and culture and the food of Palermo was absolutely fascinating and this was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Well worth the money.
