Fransesco was a great guide! Good stories and made us look at Palermo trough different eyes. Very nice vino liquiroso also! 😁
Such a fun and spooky night! Our guide was incredibly passionate and brought Palermo’s ghost stories to life. The arancino and glass of wine midway through were a perfect touch!
