Nonostante l’intoppo iniziale per una mancata comunicazione sul punto di ritrovo, l’esperienza è stata oserei dire perfetta. Ben strutturata ed interessante in tutte le sue fasi. Ricca di informazioni, anche per i più curiosi, sia sul passato che sul presente della città e dei suoi principali monumenti. Rilassante e piacevole, grazie anche a qualche pausa snack e rinfresco nei mercati o nei bar/gelaterie locali. La consiglio vivamente a chi desidera immergersi a 360° nella città di Palermo.
