THE GIRLS OF BERGAMO - Beautiful tour to discover the city of Palermo. Simone, our Guide, was able to show us the historical monuments but also small hidden and little visited pearls. In addition to his competence and preparation in extolling the beauty of the territory, we were impressed by his courtesy, sympathy and ability to involve our heterogeneous group. Simone was also able to recommend excellent restaurants where you can taste the delicacies of Palermo. We recommend the experience to those who want to visit the city!

Excellent tour of must see sights and more - We met Simon at the Porta Nova to start our tour along with another couple. From the start you could feel his love for Palermo and his passion for history. The tour was full of interesting anecdotes, facts and views. We even got an inside peek of the mayor’s offices and of the mayor himself! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot about this fascinating city. If you only do one tour, this should be the one you do
