Monreale was wonderful

Our driver Alex was very helpful and gave some insights into Palermo. The tour was enjoyable, catacombs were a little grotesque, but Monreale was wonderful. Amazing duomo, great views from on top and the cloisters were also interesting. A little expensive but very enjoyable. Stanley April 2024
