Monreale a must see - Our guide Consuela, was fantastic. Monreale was beautiful and so much history. The Catacombs are interesting but very morbid. Highly recommend Monreale.

Stunning Monreale - Salvatore met us at our hotel, arranged for the driver to pick us up right out front. Salvatore is very passionate about the cathedral and Palermo's history. He was a great guide. He was patient with our group which included 80+ yr old parents. Driver was excellent at navigating the roads. Highly recommend visiting the cathedral. Catacombs are interesting but may be disturbing to some due to the realistic nature of some of the contents.

Beautiful Monreale and spooky Catacombs - What a fantastic tour! Our guide was so incredibly knowledgeable about the area driving from Palermo to Monreale. She has so much information about the cathedral in Monreale that we had few questions! The Cathedral is a “must see” place. The tour provided a stop for coffee and pastries which were quite yummy. The second part of the tour was the Catacombs in n Palermo. Our driver had great skill with his driving ability. The tour was very informative and spooky. Again, our guide was very knowledgeable about this place. We were lucky to be just the two of us on this tour. The van was very comfortable and clean.

Scilciy - Monreale is stunning. I would imagine it gets very busy in the holiday season, but worth visiting. The catacombs are a bit creepy, visited once wouldn’t want to visit again.

Fabulous and recommend to all! - I was lucky enough to share my tour with only one other traveller to Cathedral Montreale and the Palermo Catacombs! A really great morning with our amazing guide Sal (Salvadore). He was incredibly knowledgeable, happy and chirpy and a wealth of information which was really appreciated by Suzanne and myself! It was obvious to all he loves his guide job! His is a real asset to your company and I would highly recommend this tour to all Helen from Australia
