The booking went easy, we met our competent and friendly guide Noemi in front of Teatro Massimo. She gave us Palermo in a nutshell, with plenty of details concerning history, culture and local life. A great afternoon!

The explanations, the answer to our questions (from children and adults), the language skills and the differentiated expression were a highlight of our stay in Palermo. Highly recommended.
