Hi there! Nice to meet you

Fabio

I was born in Palermo and I am a tour guide. I've been traveling around Italy and Europe, so I know what a tourist needs: that's why I like to be friendly and accomodating, providing all the information and tips to get them enjoy their staying.

I love showing people the beauty and the history of a place, telling them fascinating stories, legends and curiosities all along the trip.

I am very passionate about art, history, literature, music, philosophy and good food. You can find any of it in Palermo with me!

Wir hatten eine private Kultur-Tour als Paar mit Fabio. Wir waren mehr als begeistert, Fabio spricht hervorragend Englisch und hat ein breites UND tiefes Wissen. Historisch und architektonisch Interessierte kommen bei Fabio voll auf ihre Kosten. Er hat auch immer sehr schöne Anekdoten, die die Tour auflockern. Unsere Anpassungswünsche wurden von ihm gerne aufgenommen und in den Ablauf integriert. Schlussendlich sind wir seiner Empfehlung zum Mittagessen gefolgt und es war ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Eine ganz klare Empfehlung!Großartig, eine klare Empfehlung!

We were a small group of 3 and enjoyed our time with Fabio to the max. He took us on a very interesting tour through the historic city and told us memorable stories. We had a great time and the 3 hours were over much too fast. Fabio is very knowledgeable, speaks English very well and had a good feeling for what spiked our interest. He also gave us precious tips and told us about the difference between good and great food in Palermo. We would definitely recommend to take a tour with him.Phantastic Local Guide & Great Time

Fabio was very patient as we got lost to meet him. Enjoyed the tour, saw the highlights and enjoyed his knowledge of the Historical District. Very helpful as being able to navigate the area going forward. Many thanks Fabio.

We were on a cruise and looking for just an overview of Palermo without a 3 -4 hour indepth guide. This kick start tour was very good and was exacetly what we were looking for: a snapshop of Palermo and its history and culture. We learned a lot, walked by a lot of places - Fabio made recommendations of things to go into if we had time after the tour - and the only negativre was that he did not let us know that most placdes closed from 2-4+pm for afternoon siesta. This is important as we would have timed our tour with him to be during Siesta period and walked around to see the artisans and stores prior to his tour. Knoledgeable and Enthusiastic

We were an organized tour as part of a leadership retreat that wanted to have a local experience and learn about Palermo's history. Fabio brought so much knowledge and passion to the tour, incorporating specific aspects that spoke to the leadership work we were doing. He took us to local markets to experience one of a kind cousine as well as shared historical anecdotes and contemporary events. It was a fun, informational, thought-provoking session. Fabio is insightful, cultured, humourous and extremely passionate. We had an amazing time together! Magnificent experience

I think a tour with Fabio is a ‘must do’ for anyone visiting Palermo. His knowledge, enthusiasm, sense of humour and personality are exceptional. We saw things and learned things that we would never have found by ourselves ( we are still laughing about the ‘fountain story!’ ) We will book Fabio again next time we are here and recommend 100%. Thank you again for such an enjoyable tour. Perfect Palermo Gude!

The highlight of a visit in Palermo is the Palatine chapel, and for us, it became an amazing experience with Fabio. His knowledge of every detail and historical background of the chapel gave us a totally different perspective of this beautiful church. Fabio is engaging and is able to provide lots of information in a pace that made it easy for us to understand. Our experience of the chapel was enhanced because of him. His personality and his sincere wish to help exceeded the tour itself since he was able to provide additional info on restaurants, other tours as well as “must see” outside Palermo. We strongly recommend Fabio should you want to visit the palatine chapel and get the essence of it.A fantstic Palatine chapel experience
