We had a great city tour with Loredana - she showed us the highlights of Palermo and gave us ideas of how to best spend the rest of our time. She informed is about the city’s history, culture and delicious food. We also appreciated the explanation she gave of the history of the Mafia issues in the city, helping us to understand its history, particularly from the early 1980s to 1992, and the strong anti Mafia spirit in the community since. Loredana is enthusiastic about her city, and she was very welcoming, and a pleasure to spend time with. She also gave is some restaurant recommendations and very kindly offered to help with any other advice needed. The tour was the highlight of our time in Palermo.

Memorable experience
Luca tailored a thoughtful tour for me in the city of Palermo. He was courteous, prompt and very knowledgeable. It was great to have a guide who grew up in this colorful and storied place who lovingly and critically spoke about the past, present and future of each landmark and noteable place that we walked. He also gave me a great sense of the local flavors and when we stopped for fresh juice in the market and pastry at the convent! Luca is kind, professional and smart. I am so glad I was able to book him and learn about his city.

Wonderful Storytelling in Palermo
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2.5-hr walking tour through the Kalsa quarter in Palermo. Fabio is a great tour guide with an extensive knowledge of history, religion, politics, and architecture of his hometown Palermo. He told captivating stories about many sites off the beaten track that I would not have discovered myself. I highly recommend Fabio as your private tour guide in Palermo.
