Excellent Walking Tour of Palermo

Pamela gave us an excellent walking tour of Palermo. We were very impressed by her extensive knowledge of Sicilian history, and she brought the city's rich past to life with engaging stories and insights. She showed us all of Palermo's major highlights, answered every question we had, and made the experience both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend Pamela and this walking tour to anyone visiting Palermo.

Markets + history = a great tour

What a nice surprise Palermo was! Lots of churches but the highlight for us were the unbelievable markets in old town and the diversity of cultures on display. We can all live together after all!

Palermo is better to be explored on your own than with a poor guide.

Our guide Milena was amateurish (she admitted that it was her first time). Our expectations weren’t met at any point. It was a waste of time and money. There was nothing we couldn’t find on our own.
