Important theme covered by an engaging guide in a fantastic city - The tour was very very interesting. An extraordinary opportunity to visit the city with a different point of view and to deepen an important theme. Our guide, Davide, involved us a lot with his preparation but above all with his passion

An exciting and different tour from classic tours - I really enjoyed this 3-hour excursion dedicated to the fight against the mafia in Palermo. Discover the city through emblematic places and strong stories, linked to the people and movements that marked this struggle. The route covers various themes such as the links between mafia and politics, mafia and church, or the involvement of traders. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know and I liked the fact that it wasn’t a “classic” sightseeing tour, but a committed and original tour that allows me to see Palermo from a different perspective.

Eye opening - a must do for all tourists in Sicily - I did the No Mafia tour on my last day in Sicily and wish I could have done it on my very first day. I learned so much and gained such a deeper appreciation for the culture in Palermo. Our guide, Salvatore, was brilliant - so passionate, friendly and a great story teller. He answered everybody’s questions and threw in little bits about architecture and general history. Thank you for a wonderful experience and always finding the shade for us!
