Great experience in Sicily - 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!

A beautiful tour - 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.

You will love your day on this trip! - 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.

A nice way to visit the area of Palermo - 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.

A long tour and high price - 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.
