It was not our first time we had a private tour, we had many before, and I would like to say that Mauro was one of the best tour guides. Not only his knowledge but also love to his city made us fall in love with Palermo. He showed us the places and streets we would have never found ourselves. He also has a great personality, cares about your needs and caters to your interests. If you are in Palermo, he should be your guide!
Very knowledgeable! We loved Mauro’
Thank you, Maura! We're happy that you enjoyed the tour ! Your positive feedback means a lot to us.
Mauro, our very friendly guide, suggested a slightly different route than described. We were not disappointed. Away from the tourist crowds and thanks to Mauro's immense knowledge, we gained a great insight into the history, culture, and life of Palermo, exploring corners we would never have found without Mauro. Thanks to Mauro's storytelling, the tour was very engaging. Along the way, we received numerous tips on where to eat well, enjoy ice cream, or relax with a coffee. The sightseeing tips for the free time afterward were also very helpful. Thank you very much for the wonderful and interesting time!
Liebe M. und W., herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung und die freundlichen Worte! Es hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet, Palermo gemeinsam mit Ihnen zu entdecken. Ich freue mich besonders, dass Ihnen die etwas individuellere Route gefallen hat und dass Sie die authentischen Seiten der Stadt kennenlernen konnten. Vielen Dank auch für Ihre Offenheit und Ihr Interesse an der Geschichte, Kultur und dem alltäglichen Leben in Palermo. Solche Begegnungen machen jede Führung besonders. Ich hoffe, Sie haben Ihre weitere Zeit in Palermo und Sizilien genossen und vielleicht kreuzen sich unsere Wege eines Tages wieder. Alles Gute und herzliche Grüße aus Palermo, Mauro
Exceptional walking tour there is a lot to see and a lot to know and we were given both so informative great way to learn about Palermo!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! It was a real pleasure to show you around Palermo. I am delighted to hear that you found the tour enjoyable!
It was our first time in Sicily and we wanted to immerse ourselves in Palermo’s rich history and culture. Mauro was an amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide! In addition to the famous sites, we ventured off the beaten path to see Palermo through the eyes of a local, just as it should be experienced. Mauro had such a warm, inviting personality. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Palermo.
Thank you for your words! I am really happy that you enjoyed the time together! I hope to meet you in Palermo again! Best, Mauro
If you’re looking for a truly local expert, who’s extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful story-teller, Mauro should be your choice! My husband and I travel quite a bit and have come to recognize the importance of a private tour guide. Mauro exceeded our expectations! He was flexible with our schedule, and he was a great communicator throughout the whole process. Highly, highly recommend!
They were the best guides. Very friendly and informative.
Highly recommended and added value to your holiday. The tour is adapted to your personal wishes and questions and everything goes in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere! The communication went very smoothly and orrect. We had Mauro as a guide and he did a fantastic job!
We had Mauro as a guide and he was brilliant and gave us a complete historical overview of Palermo and Sicily. We learnt a lot and he had lots of anecdotes and explanations about the many cultures and how Palermo was ruled over the centuries. He also took us to a haven of peace in the bustling town to have a Granita. We would highly recommend this private tour and our only regret was not to have him when we went to Monreale (on his recommendations). Thank you Mauro!!
Thank you so much for your beautiful review! It was truly a pleasure spending time with you and sharing the history, atmosphere and many layers of Palermo and Sicily. I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed not only the historical explanations, but also the little moments of everyday Palermo — like our granita stop in the middle of the lively city. Your kind words mean a lot to me, especially knowing that this was your first experience in Palermo. I’m also glad you enjoyed Monreale, even if unfortunately I could not join you there this time. I really hope to see you again in Sicily one day for more discoveries together! Mauro

Thank you for words! It was a big pleasure for us to show you Palermo and Monreale. We hope to mett you again in Sicily!
