Dazzling Mosaics and Classical Heritages with a private Guide Driver
Overview of your Palermo tour
This customizable tour offers you the opportunity to combine your preferred sites and visit some of Sicily’s renowned attractions. Cefalù: Once a typical fishing village, Cefalu is a medieval town brimming with charm. Situated in an enchanting region characterized by extensive woodland areas, the town’s sturdy Norman lines of Cefalu’s Cathedral, a 12th-century Arab-Norman monument, are softened by palm trees. Monreale: epitomizes Norman architecture in Sicily. The Cathedral’s interior is particularly noteworthy, adorned with incandescent mosaics that cover the walls of the nave, transept, and apse, spanning an impressive 81,800 square feet. Segesta: preserves the legacy of the Greeks in this unique archaeological area. The Temple and Theater, constructed in the late 5th century BC, are nestled within a picturesque countryside. A series of events and concerts are held at sunset during the summer months.

We had an absolutely wonderful day with Mimmo in Segesta and Monreale. His insights and information made the sites come alive and we got great historical perspective, too. He shares his extensive knowledge with great charm and he has a wry sense of humor that gave a delightful twist to much of what we did. He immediately understood what would interest us and geared the tour to exactly what we enjoyed. We'd love to spend more time with him exploring Sicily anytime!
Katherine D.United States
As a solo traveler, I very much appreciated Mimmo's thoughtful, considerate, attentive approach to seeing Monreale and Segesta. He listened carefully to discern my particular interests and crafted a day that included history, lively discourse, beautiful views, new perspectives on history and art. A great guide! He also helped me find transfer from Palermo to Modica after I realized the train would take all day.

We had a great tour to Monreale and Cefalù with Mimo Salvo. Mimo picked us up at our hotel on time and we started our Sicilian adventure! Mimo was very informative, professional and entertaining on our tour. We highly recommend this tour with Mimo as your guide!!
Trevor D.United States
Mimmo was very knowledgeable, providing commentary along the entirety of the walk through the city. He had many facts about various sights along the way in addition to the big attractions we visited. Also, he took us to two different markets in the city, showing us the popular local food. In the short time we were touring, we felt that we learned a lot about the rich history of Palermo. Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour through Palermo.
John H.United States
We were lucky to have Mimmo show us Palermo and the Agrigento temples on two different days. Mimmo seems to know everything about the places we visited with him: the history, geography, architecture, and any number of fascinating facts and anecdotes. He's never at a loss with answers to our questions. He was unfailingly courteous and considerate with us, accommodating various schedule glitches (our fault) with resourcefulness and great good cheer.
