Great Walking Tour of Palermo City Centre with Guide - Beautiful tour in the center of Palermo, accompanied by Fabrizio, a friendly and competent Palermo guide, who entertained us in an original way on the history, traditions, sayings and events of the city of Palermo. Stop at the puparo, at the Teatro Massimo, and arrive at the Capo market, where we stopped for tastings of freshly prepared delicacies, and a ride among the stalls full of local colors and scents. Afterwards, an internal visit to the Cathedral, and finally arrival at the Quattro canti, with Fabrizio who, throughout the route, with generosity and passion, has worked hard in stories and explanations to give us the essence of the city. Absolutely to recommend!

Not to be missed - Fabrizio is a trained, professional and very attentive tour guide to his customers. His tour, in English, was really interesting and exhaustive from a historical point of view. The street food we enjoyed was delicious. Cut to family size, it is a tour that I recommend to anyone visiting Palermo, really a magnificent experience.

Great tour, highly recommended - One of the best tours I have had in Europe. Fabrizio is not only a Sicilian historian, but also highly knowledgeable in architecture and food. We even discussed geopolitical topics for which Fabrizio had much insight. Highly recommended at twice the price!
