We signed up for this Italian language tour by mistake and the tour guide contacted us in advance to tell us so that we could get our money back. When I tried to do that, there was a 100 percent penalty abd wr lost our money and did not get the tour. Very disappointing g to be given inaccurate information,
Everything from the beggining of the tour was very clear. I have to say that this tour is absolutely recommended 1st because the Guid is Fabrizio has a great knowledge of the History and ofcourse Palermo. He knows all the hidden jems of the city. I enjoyd every moment of the trip and practice my Italian.
Bellissimo e consigliatissimo tour a piedi di Palermo tra storia e curiosità. Fabrizio, simpatica e preparatissima guida, ci ha fatto innamorare di Palermo.
Fabrizio is very good and helpful. He gave us a very welcome overview of the city, its history, and its beauty.
Our guide Fabrizio was clear, punctual, and helpful, considering that the tour even ended past the scheduled time. His friendliness was just as notable. Recommended tour for those who want to get a clearer idea of Palermo, which really has so much to offer.
Fabrizio was our Virgil, the guide who led us through the layers of the Palermo that was and that is today, with competence, politeness, and irony. Always prepared, he provided us with many interesting facts, making the over 3 hours spent together pleasant. We recommend everyone to take advantage of his tour when available!
Beautiful experience to get to know Palermo with the help of FABRIZIO, a very capable guide who gave us clear and detailed explanations, with the tone of a person who loves what he sees and the work he does. Thank you
Very knowledgeable and engaging guide
Palermo is a wonderful city and thanks to our guide Fabrizio we discovered its history. Thanks for the unique experience
Bravo Fabrizio!! Very interesting visit
Very knowledgeable and passionate guide, capable of keeping attention high and stimulating the visitor's curiosity. Kind and helpful. Interactive communication.
It was an excellent choice to tour Palermo with the guide! Fabrizio is truly fantastic as a tour guide. I recommend it to everyone
Beautiful experience, Fabrizio was truly engaging.
Absolutely positive experience, Fabrizio is a very knowledgeable guide who, with his gentle manners and availability, made us feel welcome in his land.
Splendid tour. Fabrizio was simply perfect...
highly appreciated and recommended!
There is a substantial difference between ‘information’ and NARRATIVE. You can look for information about Palermo anywhere, but taking a tour with Fabrizio gives you the chance to preserve the narrative of the city, with the feeling of someone who lives in and loves the city. Every day!
Very knowledgeable and nice guide
5***** visit of Palermo with an experienced guide.
Beautiful tour despite the heat. The guide's name is Fabrizio and he is very knowledgeable, never boring, in fact very interesting even for my daughters (the youngest kept repeating a lot of things to us in the following days when we passed by some monument or place visited during the tour!). We took a nice tour of the center with many stops and we also received many tips on places where we could taste the best of the local gastronomy. We were more than satisfied. Definitely to be repeated. Thank you Fabrizio. Highly recommended.
A truly beautiful tour; the guide, super professional and knowledgeable, took us on a wonderful journey to discover the history of Palermo. Highly recommended!
Fabrizio, our guide, stands out from many other known guides for his ability to immediately create an empathetic relationship with the entire group. You can feel how much passion and dedication he puts into his work, and especially how he keeps every group member interested for three hours. In fact, his description during the tour does not just recount what is seen, but also the scenery and the history of its protagonists. I will try to find him for future visits. Moreover, the narrative is fluid, concise, and engaging.
A must-see view of the city with the tour guide Fabrizio! Great, knowledgeable, and engaging. Palermo is beautiful, and thanks to his stories, it can be appreciated even more.
A very beautiful and interesting experience with a highly knowledgeable guide; I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to visit Palermo in three hours.
Fabrizio is very knowledgeable and it is a pleasure to listen to him.
A pleasant and interesting tour guide who engaged us and made us feel comfortable

Fabrizio is a fantastic storyteller who entertains you with charm throughout the entire 3-hour tour. He was able to capture our attention. I particularly appreciated the overall perspective provided during the tour, enriched with practical advice, anecdotes, and numerous insights for independently exploring the topics discussed. Pleasant, interesting, and well-organized experience. Highly recommended.
Thanks to Fabrizio, who guided us through the streets of Palermo with great professionalism and wisdom. It was a beautiful experience! Thank you very much for these 3 hours spent together.

Fabrizio is knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. He was not caught off guard by specific questions about the places visited. Very skilled.
We chose this tour to get a targeted taste of some characteristic places in Palermo; our guide Claudio entertained us with historical content in a truly pleasant way, zero boredom, and many insights to explore!!!
Palermo is a magical city, but visiting it with this guide transformed my trip into an unforgettable experience! If you want to discover the true soul of the Sicilian capital, you cannot miss it. Thanks to this guide, I optimized my time, avoided tourist traps, and experienced Palermo like a true local, among the scents of the historic markets and the majesty of its palaces. Well-deserved five stars!

As always, when we go out with my friends, we turned to a guide to accompany us in discovering this beautiful city, and I must say that this time we were truly lucky!!! A friendly, empathetic, and very knowledgeable guide who made us spend several hours without tiring us out... Highly recommended!!
We were accompanied by Fabrizio not once, but twice! We did both the Palatine Chapel with him and the following day the cathedral and a tour in the city center! We highly recommend him!!!! He covers historical and artistic knowledge, cultural anthropology, without neglecting some anecdotes. In short, we were more than satisfied 😀
We had a great time in the company of Fabrizio. His tour is well done, educational and instructive. His explanations allow you to better understand the history of Palermo and to orient yourself independently among the streets. Super recommended.
An exciting and complete immersive experience in the history of the city and Sicily.
Guide very prepared! Nice experience

Fabrizio a very kind, efficient and prepared guide. I liked his transparent way of handling situations. He helped me even before the tour to choose the structure giving me advice on the centrality of the accommodations. Not for everyone!
Fabrizio: professional guide and with the ability to excite those who listen; experience that has enriched us thanks to the description of historical facts and anecdotes about the history of the city of Palermo
We did a group tour with Fabrizio on Easter Day and it was a wonderful experience: three hours of walking in the symbolic places of Palermo, with a myriad of useful information for those who then want to deepen their visit to the city. Highly recommended tour
