He was well-spoken and added great context with enjoyable stories about the city. I would recommend for anyone traveling to Palermo get a better understanding of the city!

A comprehensive tour of historic Palermo - Renata was an incredible tour guide! She was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of the area and provided many recommendations of historic buildings to further explore, restaurants and other local attractions. Be aware that it is 3 hours of pretty much solid walking at a reasonable clip so you must be in relatively good physical condition to participate. Also, because there are so many historic buildings to see in Palermo, there is not sufficient time on the tour to go inside all but one building. I recommend this tour for the first day that you are in Palermo and then plan to have 1 or 2 spare days to further explore the things pointed out during the tour. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide - Fascinating. Guide was very knowledgeable and was an art history major. She spoke excellent English but was from Palermo. She looked after her group and even protected us from getting hit by cars when crossing the chaotic streets. The architecture is so varied and we got to go inside the cathedral. Wonderful.

Palermo - eyes open - Great overview of Palermo with hidden location gems, which you only get knowledge of with a local brilliant guide. The reason for the lower rating is the cathedral portion was missed due to a wedding, yet the guide had no alternative sites permitted by the agency to view with guests. This shortened the tour by 20 minutes. Suggest that guests bring water to stay hydrated in the tour.
