A very informative and interesting tour of Palermo. The guide was very good at describing the history and culture of Sicily.

Fabrizzo was an excellent guide great knowledge of Palermo & took us to some amazing street food stalls to sample local cuisine. Highly recommended even if you are travelling solo. Great experience

Fabrizio, a true Palermitani, was our excellent guide for the tour. He started us with some history and then we hit the Capo street market where Fabrizio had arranged for us to taste many local specialties, enough to fill us up (served as lunch), and we learned about ingredients and the history of some of the dishes, which I found particularly fascinating. We also stopped at the Cathedral and the Massimo Theater, both of which Fabrizio was very knowledgeable about.

Excellent food and history tour. Fabrizio was very knowledgeable, friendly and learnt all our names very quickly. Lots of history - you don't actually need entrance fee to the cathedral. Food was great although a tasting platter of more of the amazing food types in the market would have been fun. Not a huge amount to eat overall on the tour. There were 14 people on the tour which is more than the 12 max but it didn't detract and everyone was very friendly and chatty.

The second time with Maurizio and he confirmed his professionalism and passion for his work! Fully satisfied!!!! There will be no shortage of opportunities to introduce you to other tourists!

Maurizio è stata una guida fantastica, molto preparato e davvero appassionato. Il tour ci ha portato alla scoperta dei punti principali di Palermo, il tutto contestualizzato nella storia e nella cultura locali. Maurizio si è inoltre reso disponibile per offrirci consigli su ulteriori posti da visitare a Palermo e dintorni e su locali in cui assaggiare le prelibatezze culinarie di questa città. Vi consiglio davvero un tour con Maurizio!

Maurizio è stato un’ottima guida: spiegazioni accurate, aneddoti interessanti e tanta simpatia. Giro coinvolgente e tanti consigli utili per posti dove mangiare e luoghi da visitare.

Maurizio secondo noi è una guida molto preparata, simpatica e molto disponibile. Ha aiutato una turista straniera a risolvere un problema legato al suo appartamento pur di non farle perdere la visita della città

Unico consiglio : fatevi accompagnare nel vostro giro da Maurizio !!! Lui ama la storia della sua città, la stessa città e la Sicilia intera. Riesce a trasmettere quella che è una passione e non un lavoro. Grazie, Maurizio !!! Ci hai fatto amare ancora di più Palermo ed i Palermtani.
