Full Day City Tour In Palermo, Monreale And Mondello From Palermo

Cristian was exceptionally wonderful. On time, professional, ans always communicating with me and my partner.

we had a great time- our driver was great he made it seem like it was easy navigating through the city and al the different areas

We had a wonderful time on this tour of Palermo, Monreale, and Mondello. Cristian was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area’s history and culture. The locations were beautiful and offered a great glimpse into the beauty, architecture, and culture of Sicily. Cristian’s insights made each stop even more enjoyable and meaningful. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience some of Sicily’s most beautiful and iconic destinations!

Our tour guide Christian was not only extremely knowledgeable but also very personable. He answered all our questions.

Excellent experience! Our driver/guide Cristian was kind, informative, patient, and tailored our experience to our needs. Lovely tour/way to see from cruise ship.

Wonderful tour of Palermo, Monreale and Mondello. Our guide, Christian, was pleasant and very informative. You will not be disappointed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day! We learned so much from our guide, appreciated the top notch transportation and loved each of the stops along the way. Definitely recommend this tour!

Christian was at the port on time and messaged us that he was there. He welcomed us to the comfortable van. He helped us in and out of the van at each stop. Christian had an incredible itinerary and he was spot on with timing suggestions. He would stop at an interesting place and describe the incredible place or group of things we could see there with fantastic directions then suggest an amount of time then let us explore. As we returned to the van, he would be looking for us and coming closer to guide us back to the van He would ask how we liked the places. He tailed his choices of stops to the things we liked. I saw the inside of 3 incredible churches. His knowledge of history and Palermo/Sicilian culture made driving from one interesting place to another so filled with enriching information. He knows a little bit about every topic and can connect with each person in the vehicle. He never "just kept talking" to finish some narrative. He always keened in to who was listening and connected to us directly. Even when he had shown us most of the things on the itinerary, he mentioned seeing an old palace that is now a park which we loved. He stopped before the port to show us the oldest trees in Sicily just because we were enjoying that last few minutes with him so much!!! In this city I was overwhelmed with choices that I just didn't make a list of things to see. I was worried on that morning that I had let myself down by not messaging the company my must sees. Turns out this was the most relaxing day of our cruise because I felt seen, heard and understood by Christian and his choices of incredible places to see!! Lunch in Mondello made the day over the top.

Knowledgeable driver gave a very interesting tour. The sights were photogenic and informative. The driver had a broad knowledge of local history.

We visited Monreale , Palermo and Mondello. We loved all of them specially Mondello , which is the most beautiful town , we had lunch in Mondello, in my opinion one of the best food in Sicily

Humberto was an awesome driver! He knew so much about the history of the city and surrounding areas! You had enough time in each area to walk around and enjoy the sites. Both towns are very small and you really only need an hour in each. Mondello was an amazing beach town and we brought our bathing suites to swim in the bay and it was awesome!

Fantastic day with Cristian. Excellent. Christian gave us options along the way to personalize the day. His commentary was helpful. We loved the cathedral of Monreal. The whole day was wonderful.

The tour was simply fantastic. I want to call out Christian, our tour guide, who was so knowledgeable and made our day comfortable and educational at the same time Kudos to Christian!

Fabulous tour with guide CHRISTIAN. Picked up promptly at hotel with a spotlessly clean van. Exceedingly knowledge and narrated clearly in English the history, architecture, parks of Palermo, Monreale, Modelo. Pace of tour excellent. Leisurely stops to tour each site. Really in depth tour and shared current events as well. 2 hours in Mondelo for leisurely lunch, free time. I was immensely pleased with Christian and this tour. Highly recommend Christian as he is really passionate about his job and sharing Palermo's amazing history.

This tour provided the expected amount of transportation, but other than that, was completely underwhelming. Tour driver/guide was not very familiar with detailed history of sites, did not accompany me into the sites (is that Viator policy?), ended the tour earlier than the advertised time of 7 to 8 hours, and did not drive me to some nearby sites mentioned by me that were on the route and before the advertised tour end time. Once the driver ended the tour and dropped me off at the port, I walked back to these Palermo sites on my own. To the positive, the driver/guide was friendly, was flexible in the amount of time allowed at each site, and was always ready to pick me up at the agreed-upon location, even though I was late once or twice, communicating status/location via WhatsApp. The driver/guide offered on several occasions to stop for photos, which we did -- appreciated. Driver met me at the port with no issues. Tour highlight, other than the major cathedrals, was the public beach and nearby restaurants out past the WWII monument. These were completely enjoyable and unexpectedly delightful! Loved this aspect of the Palermo-Sicily experience. Fortunately, had read the history of Sicily ahead of time!

Wonderful experience. Humberto our guide was easy going and very knowledgeable of the area we visited. He dropped us off at each stop and allowed us to take as much time as we needed visiting. He was always there at the pickup point when we were done. I am very glad we chose Viator rather than the limited options on our cruise ship. Great Job!

Saw monreale mondello and palermo in a day. Driver was great and informative. All four of us enjoyed it.

Cristian was amazing, he truly was. I took this excursion solo and I enjoyed myself but especially with the tour guide made it more enjoyable.

My granddaughter Julia and I enjoyed the tour with Cristian very much. He gave us a thorough historical overview of Palermo and Monreale. The seaside town of Mondello was lovely and we enjoyed our lunch in the warm sunshine. Cristian was always a gentleman and responsive to our questions.

The tour is a little bit too long, the tour guide is good, but we have to pay the entrance fee to the Church, even though it is not expensive, but we paid above $500 for the tour, so the tour should cover the entrance fees. The tour to Mondello was not that impressive. The tour should be shorter and less expensive. We have longer tour in Milan and less expensive and cover all the entrance fees to the Church.

Great day experiencing the highlights of Palermo - comfortable vehicle and knowledgeable guide . Total immersion!

An absolutely amazing tour! If you want to see the hidden gems of Palermo book this trip. The driver spoke good enough English, had wonderful recommendations and got us to all of our locations safely. I'm not sure if this is standard but we had an actual English-speaking guide included in this trip and he went with us to all the locations and give detailed history of the city. Should you be coming here on a cruise they are flexible enough on the itinerary to ensure you make your all-aboard time.

We loved learning the history of the area, seeing so many beautiful churches, and lunch in Mondello! A great day out!

I would suggest doing this tour on your first day in Palermo. Our driver, Christian, was friendly and excellent. Our guide, Joe, was also excellent. We learned a lot about the Palermo area, had time to tour Teatro Massimo, and enjoyed Monreale and Mondello. The info on San Rosalia was very interesting, and the views from the area near the shrine were stunning.

Beautiful and well-organized tour in perfect weather. Palermo is fascinating, Monreale with its cathedral and impressive mosaics was the emotional highlight, and Mondello offered a pleasant break with the sea and a magnificent view. The guide was friendly, competent, and took very good care of the group and the schedule. A great way to discover some of the most beautiful places around Palermo in one day. Absolutely recommended!

We had a wonderful tour of Palermo and Monreale in the company of the highly trained guide Cristian. We highly recommend for availability, courtesy, patience and professionalism.

We had a lot of fun doing a tour in the streets of Palermo, we recommend others to go there, as far as the Ape Tour Service is concerned it is nice.

Super positive experience!! Christian besides being an extremely professional figure, has also proved to be a very pleasant and prepared person. Being allowed to enter the restricted traffic zone, it allowed us to visit the places of interest in a very short time and without effort, providing us with all the necessary information. I highly recommend Roberta

We were picked up at our hotel by Umberto on time. Then we went to Monreale, then to Palermo where Salvatore explained everything to us in detail. Umberto and Salvatore are very flexible and have gladly responded to our wishes. The highlight was the visit to the small village of Borgo Parrini
