It is 606 metres (1,970 ft) high with panorama views of the city, its surrounding mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea. In his book Travels in Italy, Goethe described Monte Pellegrino as the most beautiful promontory in the world.
Mondello is a small borough of the city of Palermo in the autonomous region of Sicily in Southern Italy. Its beach lies between two cliffs called Mount Gallo and Mount Pellegrino.

Cruiser Car was the highlight of our Cruise around Italy. Alessio was a great tour guide and took us around all the the top places to see in Palermo, giving us plenty of time to take pictures and explore the sights My twins (22) and 15 year old daughter loved it. Enjoyed the hospitality of the snacks, beers and prosecco!! I would recommend this to anyone visiting Palermo for the day (especially if you are doing a Cruise)
thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that CruiserCar was the highlight of your Italian cruise. 🚘✨ Alessio will be thrilled to know that his knowledge and care made your day in Palermo so enjoyable, with the perfect balance of sightseeing and time to explore. We’re especially happy that your family — including your twins and daughter — loved the experience, and that the onboard hospitality with snacks, prosecco and beers added to the memories. 🍾 Your recommendation to fellow cruise guests means the world to us. We look forward to welcoming you back to discover even more of Sicily on your next journey! With warm regards, The CruiserCar Palermo Team
This was the best way to start our trip in Palermo. Our guides were awesome, providing us with champagne, water, and soft drinks. They gave us historical information as we passed integral parts of the city. They are passionate about Sicily which really allowed us to embrace the charm that is Palermo. The view from the top is incredible. This is a must do in Palermo.

For just two people this tour is way too expensive for what one receives. The guide was nice enough but his English was very hard to understand. We took the sunset car cruise thinking we would see a beautiful sunset but halfway way through our trip it poured down rain and they drove us back to our hotel in Palermo. We know one can’t control the weather but we not offered any type of partial refund. If you are going to use them go as a group of at least six and make sure you know the weather forecast.
Thank you for your feedback. First, we’d like to clarify that the price of the tour is proportional to the exclusive experience provided, and as a group of two, you actually paid the minimum possible rate. Regarding the guide, I must point out that he is a native English speaker, and a quick glance at other reviews will show countless compliments from American, British, and other international guests who have praised his communication skills. Additionally, it’s important to note that you did not book the "Sunset Tour," but rather the 3-hour tour, which included Palermo, Mondello, and Mount Pellegrino, and happened to be scheduled during sunset hours. We would have loved to show you a beautiful sunset at Mount Pellegrino, but unfortunately, the sky was cloudy that day, and as much as we’d like to, we simply cannot control the weather. There was indeed some unfortunate timing with rain halfway through the tour at Mount Pellegrino, and for the safety of everyone, we made the decision to return early to avoid any unnecessary risks. Safety is our top priority. However, the rain lasted only during that brief half-hour at Mount Pellegrino, and the total time of your 3-hour tour was fully compensated by additional exploration of unique and lesser-known parts of Palermo afterward. CruiserCar is known for its romantic atmosphere, and we regret that for the sake of a missed refund, you would suggest needing a group of six to enjoy the experience. Many of our couples have had unforgettable romantic escapes with us, as you can see from the countless positive testimonials. Best regards, Gabriele CruiserCar Palermo
This tour was nothing like we’ve ever been on before. Pedro and Gabriele were awesome guides. Pedro navigated the ride and Gabriele gave amazing history of each place we visited and those in between. The cruiser was spectacular and the amenities fabulous. We drank Prosecco while cruising the streets of Palermo, and everyone we passed was jealous of our unique ride. The stop at Montepellegrino was amazing and deeply spiritual. I would recommend this Cabriolet Cruiser tour to everyone!
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that this tour was unlike any other you’ve been on. Pedro and I had a wonderful time guiding you through the rich history of Palermo while enjoying the comfort and uniqueness of our CruiserCar. Sipping Prosecco while cruising through the streets of Palermo is always a memorable experience, and we’re glad you felt the admiration from those around. The stop at Montepellegrino is truly special, with its spiritual significance and stunning views over the city. Thank you for recommending our Cabriolet Cruiser tour so highly. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again for more unique adventures! Best regards, Gabriele CruiserCar Palermo
