Fabulous tour of the catacombs with Simone! - We had an amazing tour of the catacombs with Simone. It was our favorite tour in Palermo! Simone was a fantastic guide. We were a mixed group of adults and teenagers and Simone captivated our group with his enthusiasm and stories. I highly recommend Simone as a tour guide!

Fascinating historical site - May not be everyone’s idea of an interesting visit The social history here is incredible A unique site and something very different

Excellent storytelling - Simone was an excellent tour guide giving us some interesting and lively information on some of the mummies found in the Catacombs. Definitely made to tour more informative. We would have miss many things without his guidance.

Wonderful tour by Simon - Simon is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the catacombs. You can tell how much passion he has for the site, and he seems genuinely excited to educate others on it, even though he’s obviously been many times. I highly recommend choosing Simon, because without a guide, the site can’t be fully appreciated. We arranged a private tour in advance with Simon, who was very easy to coordinate with.

Historic experience - We had Simon as a guide, very talented and committed, very knowledgeable, he explained so that you understood the history, can be recommended.

Great tour, great guide - Brilliant tour, Simon the guide was really knowledgeable and you can tell he loves his job. Everything is very thoroughly explained and it is very interesting. It is well worth having a guide so you can really appreciate the history behind the people there, as this would be difficult from just looking around. Again, great tour and would definitely recommend if you want to gain a proper understanding and appreciation for the catacombs

A wonderful experience - Simon was remarkable! Despite technical problems (not his fault) He made it all happen! He is delightful and informative!

Very interesting and worth your time - Fascinating tour of an unusual site. Perhaps not for everyone, given the nature of what you are looking at. The mummified examples of past citizens and dignitaries of Palermo are something you are unlikely to have seen before. The history of this place makes for interesting learning and well worth a look if you are staying in Palermo.

Good for a 30 minute look - An interesting yet macabre experience. Pretty well preserved corpses from hundreds of years ago. Amazing how small people were back then.

A strange place - For sensitive souls, refrain. This closed place presents the embalming of dignitaries and monks. It is worth seeing despite everything and the best is to have a guide.
