The beauty of the Monreale Cathedral is indescribable! The view from the top of the Duomo is breathtaking!! Mountains all around! Cefalù has beautiful beaches with gorgeous views all around. The Cathedral of Cefalù reminds me of the cathedral in our hometown in Texas! Our guide Tatiana was remarkable!! She was very informative of not only Monreale and Cefalù but also gave us a few facts on Palermo.

Itinerary
The cathedral of Monreale is famous all over the world and is one of the places of historical and cultural interest of the site called "Arab-Norman". You can admire works of considerable artistic and religious value. The cathedral is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is considered one of the most important medieval churches in the world. There is a variety of styles and truly unique structural originality. Monreale is also considered as a city of ancient and established ceramic tradition, thanks to the school of artists founded by Masi Oddo. Our tour leader will make your day unforgettable by introducing you to the history of the Cathedral of Monreale and the meaning of Conca d'Oro.
Cefalù is a charming medieval town that is part of the "Arab-Norman of Palermo" itinerary. The cathedral of Cefalù is a true jewel of architecture such as the Cathedral of Monreale and the Palatine Chapel of Palermo. Cefalù is also famous as a fishing village and is the ideal place for its unfair beaches or for its romantic evening walks. Our tour leader will make your day unforgettable by introducing you to places such as the Cefalù Promenade, the Medieval Washhouse, the Porta Pescara, Corso Ruggero, the Osterio Magno (thought to have been the residence of King Roger II) and the Cathedral of Cefalù.

Breathtaking views of the cathedral and Cefalu beach. Recommend having lunch overlooking the sea. Our tour guide, Tatiana, was a wealth of knowledge and very accommodating.
Tatiana (from Raneiri & Co.) was a terrific guide. Not only was she an enthusiastic and very informative guide in Monreale and Cefalù, but she also provided very helpful guidance on other places to go and things to do in the days both before and after our tour with her. She clearly loves what she does, and her enthusiasm is contageous.
We were really impressed by this tour. We visited places full of history and beautiful. Our tour guide Alexandra was the best!!!
This was the wrong tour for us. I expected a knowledgeable guide to describe the beautiful mosaics in Monreale and Cefalù cathedrals. Instead, we got a cursory tour of Morreale and no guided tour at all at Cefalù cathedral. In addition, our guide left us for several hours; paying for a guide was not worth it at all. On the other hand, our driver was great. He drove us quickly and safely through the tricky streets of Monreale and Cefalù. He gave us information on sights on the drive from Monreale to Cefalù, when our guide was not with us. Although our guide wasn’t worth the cost, we were able to adjust the timing of our trip because we were the only ones on the tour. I would recommend more time in Monreale than the tour suggests.
It was an enjoyable trip. Tour guide and cheuffer was friendly and knowledgeable. It became a private tour for us. Monreale and Cefalu should be in everyone tour list to experience.
This has been one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced in Sicily! Our guide, Alexandra, was incredibly nice and passionate about her work. Our driver, Marco, was also excellent. We had a fantastic time in Cefalù!
We had such a great experience with Alexandra! She was very informative and you can tell she really enjoys what she does and loves Sicily! Which we also really love now and can't wait to come back to. We were very lucky to have the tour to ourselves and had an overall amazing experience. She was also really helpful with other suggestions around Palermo. We highly suggest booking with this company. They were great with communicating with us from the moment we booked and even offered to help with other suggestions in Palermo.
Tatiana really puts the customer first. She did not cancel the tour when it was only my wife and I. She even brought towels for us to borrow. When she told us that Monreale is known for bread, she went the extra mile to find us a bakery to buy the bread. She is very enthusiastic about the history of the area. We were tired and finished early. She was so nice and went out of her way to take us to our hotel.
We very much enjoyed our tour experiences at Monreala and Cefalu. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very helpful throughout our tour. Prior to the start of our tour, she stayed in communication with us to ensure our tour was a success.
Beautiful and fascinating sights at Mondiale and Cefalu, Tatiana was warm and friendly with interesting information about Sicily. Very helpful with ideas for sightseeing and vet comfortable trip!!
Our guide, Tatiana could not have been more helpful, flexible and accommodating. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing what she knows. One of my goals for the trip was to have time to climb La Rocca in Cefalù and she made sure to arrange that. Since we only had a limited time in Sicily, this tour allowed me to share with my brother and son the fabulous cathedral AND the marvelous town of Cefalù.
Before we even reached Palermo they were in contact with us, giving us great tips and help. The tour was a complete pleasure, Alicia is the sweetest guide I have ever met and made sure that we all had a wonderful time. She encouraged us to ask any questions about anything, saying “Don’t be shy!” We certainly weren’t shy and we had a wonderful time. If you want to go with someone whose objective is for you to enjoy your visit, this is them!
Our drive was excellent. Tatiana not only showed us the prime locations as described, but also showed us hidden gems. Very conscientious! Very knowledgeable and informative. She and driver were always concerned for our confirmed.
This was the best tour I did in Sicily. Tatiana, the guide, was excellent and she shared good knowledge about Sicilian culture. I really enjoyed the tour and the company as they drove me around. They do care about people having a good experience and they took care of me for other trips I wanted to do during my time in Palermo. Tatiana also shared links for other things to do in Palermo. I had a great time with both of them. Very nice and good people, so it was a really enjoyable experience.
The tour is a perfect itinerary for a day trip from Palermo. Tatiana, our guide, made us a great surprise by adding an extra stop in medieval castle - it was a highlight of the day, both castle, landscapes and the road were fantastic. Rather short distances between spots let you enjoy visiting wonderful places without wasting a lot of time in the car. Tatiana gave us a lot of information, she was more than caring and kind. Her positive attitude and professionalism made this trip a great memory. P.S. I accompanied my mom who has some problems with walking. She could fully enjoy this tour and experience everything at our own pace. STRONGLY ADVICE TO TAKE THIS TRIP
We had a wonderful time with this tour. Our tour guide "Tatiana" was great, provided everything we need, she contacted us just after we booked it. Provided all necessary information about Tour and general information about Palermo including restaurants recommendation. Tour started on time. Our driver "Salvatore" was courteous and drove us safely. Extra destination Caccamo was added with no extra charge and the cable and mountain view was fantastic. For the most Tatiana care about people tried to provide as much as possible. Great Tour I will recommend highly
It's worth a lot to visit.
