Great 1 hour journey around Palermo’s main sites with time to stop off at several points to view and take photos. We had commentary in English from very knowledgeable driver. Would absolutely recommend. We are on a cruise and they picked us up and dropped us back 5 mins from the port. It was very hot the day we visited and would not have covered the area on foot.
It was a once in a lifetime experience to discover Palermo through a “Lamborghini” ape tour. Francesco was an excellent guide that knows everyone in Palermo and all the best places to visit. He is the best! Money well spent!
We were hesitant to trust them, but then Doriuccio convinced us. We spent 250 euros under the table (in 2026 this is unacceptable), for an experience that the girls will certainly remember with a beautiful memory. As an adult, in hindsight, apart from the site of the Borsellino bombing, the spots were all easily reachable on foot. Since he does this for a living, it would have been nice to have received some slightly more detailed information compared to what we got. Overall, however, I judge the experience to be positive, also for the time that Doriuccio dedicated to us and for his kindness with the children.
La ringraziamo per aver condiviso la sua esperienza e siamo lieti che le sue bambine conservino un bel ricordo della visita. Ci dispiace che alcune spiegazioni non siano state all’altezza delle sue aspettative: il suo feedback è prezioso e ci aiuterà a migliorare ulteriormente il servizio. Per quanto riguarda la ricevuta, desideriamo precisare con garbo che, trattandosi di un servizio pubblico, la ricevuta viene rilasciata su richiesta del cliente e non vi è l’obbligo di consegnarla automaticamente se non viene richiesta. La ringraziamo ancora per le parole di apprezzamento nei confronti di Doriuccio, per il tempo dedicato e per l’attenzione riservata alle bambine. Speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente in futuro.
The tuc tuc was not there at the port as requested. Another tuc tuc driver helped us and made contact. The tuc tuc eventually arrived. I don’t think the driver was very pleased
Unfortunately, it's not exactly what you say! Since you had no phone to reach her, she has a wheelchair with her where she stopped in a spot where she was not supposed to stop! But what I regret most is the fact that I didn't even appreciate the fact that for picking you up in a spot that wasn't even the designated one, they even gave me a ticket because of you! And you also have something to say about our actions! I'm truly sorry.
A pleasant walk through the streets of Palermo; Francesco, who accompanies and shows the most beautiful parts of Palermo, is a number one guide. Thank you, Francesco; see you in Palermo.
Grazie infinite per le tue bellissime parole 😊
We visited Palermo with Francesco (Ape Tour Palermo Luxury) and it was an ideal experience. He is a spectacular guide: he accompanied us as a guide, driver and support throughout the tour, and also recommended a magnificent restaurant on Al Cantastorie beach. Francesco is a very versatile and brilliant person, an indispensable piece that makes him recommend this company without hesitation. His treatment was exquisite and friendly, and prepared us a route where we could know the essentials of Palermo. We realized his sympathy as soon as we climbed the Ape, and we confirmed it during the tour: he was known where he passed and you could see that people appreciated him very much. Francesco, we'll repeat!
¡Muchísimas gracias por vuestras palabras! Ha sido un verdadero placer acompañaros por Palermo y compartir con vosotros la esencia de esta maravillosa ciudad. Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutasteis del recorrido, de la experiencia en el Ape y también de la recomendación de Al Cantastorie. Intento siempre que cada tour sea cercano, auténtico y divertido, así que leer una reseña así significa mucho para mí. Gracias también por destacar mi trabajo y mi forma de vivir esta ciudad. ¡Os espero de nuevo en Palermo para seguir descubriendo juntos otros rincones especiales de Sicilia! Un abrazo, Francesco Ape Tour Palermo Luxury
We did a personalized full-day tour with Francesco who gave us his sympathy and knowledge of his Palermo. Beautiful experience that we highly recommend. Thank you Francesco!
Grazie di cuore per questa bellissima recensione! È stato un piacere trascorrere la giornata insieme a voi e accompagnarvi alla scoperta della vera anima di Palermo. Sono felice che abbiate apprezzato il tour personalizzato e l’atmosfera del percorso. Condividere la storia, i colori e le tradizioni della mia città con persone speciali come voi rende questo lavoro ancora più bello. Spero di rivedervi presto in Sicilia per nuove avventure insieme! Un caro saluto, Francesco
We met Francesco by chance and it was our luck! A beautiful tour to discover Palermo and many things that we would have definitely missed without the expert, cheerful and friendly guide of Francesco. A recommended ride absolutely of which our children also went crazy. Not to be missed.
Grazie di cuore per questa splendida recensione! È stato un vero piacere accompagnarvi alla scoperta di Palermo e condividere con voi curiosità, storie e angoli nascosti della città. Sapere che anche i bambini si sono divertiti mi rende particolarmente felice 😊 Spero di rivedervi presto per un nuovo giro insieme. Un caro saluto e grazie ancora!
Blatant dishonesty and thievery!! I booked t he Tour Gold - 4 hours for 290 euros. Martino the driver picked us up at the hotel at 10.00am He took us to a number sites in Palermo, some of which we chose not to go into to visit.He recommended a good restaurant for lunch and waited whist we ate. Then at 1.50pm we decided to finish the tour and he dropped us off in the city centre At which point he demanded 480 euros, which I paid thinking it seemed very high, but maybe I had misread the quote When I returned to the Hotel I checked the booking to find that the quote was 290 euros. I had the hotel call the company and demand why I had been overcharged. The lame excuse was that we had customised the tour to suit ourselves so there was an extra cost. As a gesture they agreed to refund 100 euros which they dropped around to the hotel in cash. These people and their driver are not to be trusted
Sir, we are sorry for the misadventure, but unfortunately I have to tell you that you did not book with our agency, nor do we have any Martino, so please remove your review, after having accepted that it is not us, thank you and best regards
We started in 5... and we came back in 5, but with faces distorted with laughter! The tour in Ape through the streets of Palermo was an epic experience: we looked like a band of tourists unleashed on three wheels, including horns, selfies and “ooooh” at every corner! The guide was a myth: nice, prepared and with the joke always ready. We discovered corners of the city that not even Palermo people know... and all without ever getting off the Apecalessino (except to capture the group with 100 photos!). A burst of energy, culture, good humor and history, all in a carefree and cheerful atmosphere. If you are looking for an original experience to have with friends, this is THE choice. Palermo seen like this... is even more beautiful! Ape Tour Palermo Luxury, you were fantastic!
Grazie di cuore per questa recensione strepitosa! Leggerla ci ha fatto sorridere tanto quanto, a quanto pare, vi siete divertiti voi durante il tour! È bello sapere che Palermo vi ha accolti così bene… su tre ruote e con mille risate! Siete stati un gruppo incredibile e l’energia che avete portato è stata contagiosa. Vi aspettiamo presto per un altro giro tra storia, risate e nuovi “ooooh”!
