Rendez hommage aux héros de Palerme au Murale Falcone e Borsellino, une fresque murale saisissante rendant hommage aux deux juges qui ont courageusement combattu la mafia. Cet hommage puissant rappelle leur héritage durable.
Traversez la Porta Felice, la porte historique de la ville qui s'ouvre sur le Foro Italico. Ce lieu pittoresque offre une vue imprenable sur le front de mer et la mer Tyrrhénienne.
Une jolie place entourée de bâtiments historiques et de jardins luxuriants. Cette oasis de tranquillité abrite l'un des plus grands arbres d'Europe : l'arbre étrangleur, vieux de plus d'un siècle.

Continuez jusqu'à la Chiesa del Gesù, l'une des églises baroques les plus importantes de Palerme. Ses décorations élaborées et ses fresques impressionnantes vous laisseront bouche bée devant sa splendeur.
Juste au coin de la rue, admirez la Fontana Pretoria, également connue sous le nom de Fontaine de la Honte. Cette magnifique fontaine du XVIe siècle, avec ses sculptures complexes, est une pièce maîtresse à couper le souffle de la ville.

Two months in and still in shock. They owe me an over payment of 750 Euros and refuse to reimburse me. I organized this tour as part of a business retreat. I dealt directly with the owner as i was building a more personalized experience. When i ask for a detailed itinerary and an invoice the owner wouldn’t give me one and said i had to trust him. I reluctantly decided to trust Salvadore because Vintage car tours was the only company offering the fiat 500 tour . Cost for the tour was 1500 euros. September 16 i made my initial deposit of 750 euros. On October 18 th the day before i left Canada i made my final payment of 750 euros and send them a message advising that i had completed the payment but didn’t follow up as i was in transit and forgot. The tour was October 21st. We booked 3 cars ( initially the company only brought 2 and we had to wait 45 minutes for the 3 rd car) .As part of our package we also booked a foodie tour experience and private guide . The walkie talkie system they have is useless so we couldn’t hear a word of what the guide was sharing as we drove through the streets. The foodie part was so so. After the tour the owner Salvadore calls me to tell me that he didn’t receive the final payment and i owed him the balance of the agreed price. I tried to check my bank account but for some reason didn’t see the payment go through so i trusted that there could of been a glitch in the payment i made on the 18th and in good faith repaid the final deposit of 750 euro on October 23 rd. Once i got back to Canada and reconciled my credit card i noticed the double last payment. I called my bank and they confirmed the provider received all the payments, I tried calling the owner and their office and no one would take my calls. They did respond to my text at first then ghosted me. I send them the credit card statements as proof of payments and they still refused to reimburse me. I have filed a complaint with my credit card company and they are investigating the matter. I have NEVER never had such a terrible experience booking with a company in all my travel years. BEWARE BEWARE they are not on the up and up.
A fun filled experience and way to see both the city area, districts and extended area of Palermo. We had an awesome afternoon.
Our driver Neve was simply wonderful, so knowledgeable and so much fun. Not to mention an excellent driver on crazy roads! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the history and culture of Palermo away from the busy tourist routes.
Salvo was grea - he owns the company – and Nick, our personal driver who spoke English fluently, was absolutely amazing! They both worked very hard to make sure that our trip was tailored to our needs. We're unable to walk much; but wanted to drive and see everything. They accommodated us with no indication that it took their standard procedure out of the box. You want to do this!!
Alessandro was an amazing tour guide, zipping us around Palermo with ease. We saw so many of the highlights of Palermo which made the most of our one day stay here. We attracted a ton of attention in our Fiat too, which was fun! Palermo has a special place in our hearts - thank you Alessandro!
This excursion is probably one of my best. It is run by a family who guides you through streets and attractions providing a walkie-talkie to narrates places of interest. People take video and photos of you as you navigate thru the streets. These cars attract alot of attention and are very fun to drive. The top of the mountain views were breath taking and the little bonus bags filled with pastries were so tasty. I highly recommend this tour. Tip: Must know how to drive a manual or they can provide a chauffer.
This tour is amazing! We didn’t have much time because we were in Palermo just for a few hours (cruise) and in three hours we got to see most of old town Palermo and Monreale. Constanza and Salvatore were wonderful, they helped us with everything and gave us cold water (it was very hot). The car broke down a few times but we were able to make it work (and it was something we knew could happen). I would definitely recommend this tour for couples or solo travelers.
Excellent from start to finish. Most amazing experience my husband and I have every had. Would recommend highly to enjoy this experience, thank you for an amazing day
We absolutely loved our vintage Fiât tour, even though it was pouring with rain! The cars are beautiful and lots of fun to be in. Marco and Salvo were great hosts and took us to Monreale and the stunning cathedral there before we zipped around the streets and backstreets of Palermo. We saw the key sights - royal palace, cathedral, Gesu church, palazzo Pretoria, Quattro centi, Ballaro district and others - as well as getting a real flavour of the city. And they very kindly dropped us at our front door at the end of the trip 😊 Do NOT miss out on this fabulous experience! You’ll have a blast!
Salvo and Mauro were wonderful. They were very accommodating and lots of fun. The sights out of the way streets were so beautiful. We had a great time.
