Half-day minivan trip from Palermo to Monreale and Cefalù, featuring Norman mosaics, Greek/Arab pottery, Duomo audio, and sea views.
“Monreale's cathedral is impressive and Cefalù is stunning, you should definitely go. Please do keep in mind that this is not a guided tour, it's pretty much just the transportation.”
A half-day Sicily trip from Palermo to Corleone and Ficuzza, with Godfather-style sights, countryside drives, and waterfall-and-gorge nature time.
“A great trip, our driver was very helpful and informative. The museum in Corleone was very interesting too”
Palermo by boat in 4 hours: snorkel-ready stops at Queen's Cave and Grotta dell’Olio, plus fruit aperitivo on a modern RIB.
“Andrea was very kind and led us through the history of the places we visited. He also provided delicious fruits. As we booked the trip at the end of the season we were the only passengers so we had our time to snorkel and chill in the sun afterwards. An excellent trip, 100% recommended if coming to Palermo.”
Shop Palermo’s Capo market with a chef, cook 4 Sicilian courses, and enjoy wine at a small-group lunch experience.
“Personal attention of Patrizia and care taken to explain each step - commencing with buying our ingredients in the Capo market. Only improvement would be the weather!!”
Private Palermo Catacombs and Monreale Cathedral tour with hotel pickup, a great guide, and time at the cloisters. Entrance fees extra.
“Barbara was excellent and really enjoyed the trip. It was informative and well organised although it would have been nice to spend some free time in Monreale.”
