Fabrizzio was excellent. Lots of background on things we saw and foods we ate. It was a good mix of history, culture, and food.

I recommend Maurizio as a guide. He is prepared, professional, friendly and manages, with his explanations, to make you love Palermo even more which, in itself, is a beautiful city rich in history. If you want to take a tour around the city, trust Maurizio and you will be thrilled.

Really enjoyed the 3 hour tour that started at 10:30a with a local guide. Pace was fine for the group of 14. The guide was very entertaining and we learned a few stories of different landmarks in Palermo that we had not seen in guide books. We were provided a few street foods in the middle of the tour and a canolo at the end. Overall an enjoyable tour, would recommend.
