Sicilian ROOTS TOUR - starts from PALERMO

Very enjoyable day with a very knowledgeable guide. Would highly recommend.

Mimmo was a most gracious guide. It was like touring with family. He was so helpful when we went to the city hall record offices to find information about family. He is knowledgeable about the of history Sicily, is a great driver, has a comfortable van. We visited 7 cities in 2 days!!! Trying to get to one of the ancestral towns proved a challenge since every road we took was blocked by mudslides. Mimmo was determined and found a round-about way for us to get there. Highly recommended.

Mimmo picked us up at our hotel in Palermo in his spacious Mercedes-Benz van. We had a great tour. He was punctual. He's highly educated, he explained the culture and people of Sicily so that we could feel immersed. We did appreciate the special spin he adds as we traveled! We really enjoyed seeing the sights. We especially liked our stop for lunch overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. We learned a great deal about the beautiful island of Sicily. Sit back, enjoy and let Mimmo be your guide and driver.

Mimmo provided us with excellent service on our tour to Sambuca. It is a town in Sicily off the beaten path but was the birthplace of my husband's grandparents. Mimmo was outside our hotel in Palermo promptly. He gave us an informative and comprehensive tour of the town. It was exactly what we wanted! On the drive back to Palermo, Mimmo asked me if I liked bread. When I replied that it was my favorite food group, he proceeded take us to his local bakery and bought me bread!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Mimo. I wanted to see my grandmother's home town and with Mimo's help, we not only got to see the town but also got to try some of the local specialties. I even was able to visit my great-grandfather's grave site. It was an amazing experience for me and one that I will never forget. Thank you for everything.

My intention for visiting Corleone, Sicily was not to take a standard tour. It was to experience, in the very short time of one day, a little of the life of my great-grandparents who immigrated to America. I also wanted to do a little genealogy research to determine if my great-grandfather, my bisnonno, had any siblings. I had a hand full of wishes on my "bucket list" that was not going to be satisfied by a standard tour. Mimmo checked off every item in my list! Multu Grazii!
