Full description
By choosing this small group tour, you will have the opportunity to admire the best attractions, with a tasty local break! This three hours small group tour will take you to the must-see spots of the city centre, crossing the Baroque and Normann-Arab style architecture, including attractions such as the Piazza Pretoria (Praetorian Square), called by the locals Square of Shame. The huge marble fountain you can admire in this square is amazing, and it is also the reason of the square's name, due to the nudity of its statues. The Praetorian Palace is located in this plaza, too, and it hosts the Town Hall, which is usually open to the public so that you may spot the mayor of Palermo. This impressive building was built in the 14th century, and it was renovated in the 19th century. Your cultural and historical experience will be enriched by admiring the Royal Palace, which now hosts the Regional Parliament of Sicily. After the Normans conquered Sicily in 1072, the palace was the main residence of the kings. In 1132, King Roger II added the magnificent Palatine Chapel, which is decorated with unique golden mosaics. When visiting Palermo, we cannot ignore its religious significance, so that they will be part of our small group itinerary, such as the Martorana Church, famous around the world for its beauty and majestic appearance. In fact, an Arabic traveller who visited the Martorana in 1184 called this Christian church "the most beautiful monument in the world", which perfectly resumes all we could have said about this site. One more unmissable stop will be the Cathedral of Palermo, a brilliant and unique example of stratification of styles, from Muslim to Normans to the Christian reconversion. If you are wondering if this culture discovering and walking will make you hungry, don’t worry…we will have another substantial stop included for our small group: a tasty Sicilian cannolo or granita, in a typical local shop.

Really enjoyed my tour with Debbie. She was informative and fun. The tour was well paced and she made sure she spoke with everyone to make them included. This is particularly important for solo travellers and those taking the tour alone. Thank you. I learnt a lot about Palermo and loved the subsequent visit I made to the Norman Palace. As there was a long line I bought one online on Deborahs recommendation. Grazie.

A fabulous tour which gave us a great introduction into the wonders of Palermo's history and culture. Renata is passionate about her city and so knowledgable. She even gave us recommendations about places to eat traditional food and shops to buy genuine Palermo goods and treasures. Loved it...highly recommend as soon as you arrive to get your perspective of the city.

very informative tour, provides perfect overview of the main attractions as a basis to further explore the city. We had an excellent guide, Deborah, very friendly, with loads of hints for food & drinks and not so obvious places to visit. Definitely recommend
