Our tip was wonderful! Mimmo did an outstanding job not only with the history of Sicily but also their culture. He is very personable and definitely has a cool factor about him. Unmistakably Sicilian.

The best tour we had during the entire trip. Mimmo made this trip for us so memorable. He is very educated and knows his history. We felt very comfortable as if we had known him previously. I can't say enough good about Mimmo and I am so glad I picked him for our guide. In the future if I have a chance to use this company again it will always be Mimmo.

Mimmo is without a doubt the best guide out there! He is knowledgeable and understands the client and the need for them to take away great memories from Sicily. I would highly recommend him for a tour to anywhere on Sicily!
Elisabeth M.United States
We had a terrific tour with Mimmo today. His knowledge, passion and explanations of Palermo and Sicily were fascinating and we wish we had more time to spend with him to get to know this wonderful island. First we walked around Palermo, getting a very clear overview of the sights and history; in the afternoon we went to Cefalu. The only draw-back was that the church with the famous mosaics was closed-therefore only 4 stars! BUT: we'll be back next year with Mimmo!
