Hello everyone and welcome to Palermo! My name is Mauro, I was born and raised in Palermo, and I truly love sharing the beauty, history, atmosphere, and soul of my city with travelers from all over the world. I am passionate about art, theatre, architecture, history, and everyday local life. When I visit a place, I always look for what makes it unique and meaningful — not only monuments, but also people, colors, traditions, hidden details, and atmosphere. This is exactly the approach I bring to my tours. Palermo is a city of extraordinary contrasts and cultural influences. Here, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East meet in a unique way, creating an atmosphere you will not find anywhere else. My goal is always to create experiences that are interesting, engaging, enjoyable, and personal — never just a list of dates and monuments. I want you to truly experience Palermo, not simply visit it. I have been an official licensed Tour Guide in Sicily since 2014 and an official Trip Leader since 2010. I hold a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature from the University of Palermo and a Master’s degree from the University of Udine. I lead tours in English, German, Spanish, and Italian, working with travelers, luxury hotels, and international companies from all over the world.

I had a wonderful time with Mauro who adapted his standard tour to incorporate all my requests. He was knowledgeable, fun to be with and made intelligent decisions as to how to best use the time available. I would book with him again if I return to Palermo and wholeheartedly recommend him.

A week or two ahead we had good communication and this was most helpful. He appreciated we had some clear ideas of where our interest lie, and tailored the tour accordingly. Mauro has an incredible depth of knowledge, and had all the little details which bring places, and the artisans, rulers and obsessives behind them, to life. Very good constant flow of information, or...

September 2026Thank you for such a thoughtful review! I really enjoyed hearing about your interests before the tour and shaping our time in Palermo around them. It was a pleasure to share the stories behind the places and people we encountered—and I’m glad my sense of humour came along for the walk, too. Thank you for choosing to explore Palermo with me.

A fantastic way of learning about Palermos, history, culture and people. Mauro adapted the walk in a way that suited us senior citizens brilliantly!
