Overview of Palermo - Excellent experience, definitely recommended. Mariano welcomed us at the cruise terminal and showed us his city in a pleasant way with detailed descriptions. We also managed to see Palazzo dei Normanni, the Palatine chapel and the Cathedral as well as taking a walk in the Ballarò market Great service and a very bravo to Mariano

Tuk Tuk Siracusa, if you don't want to walk everywhere and want a lot of information about the architecture. - I'm traveling with my elderly father. That's why I'm always looking for guided tours. Tuk Tuk Siracusa met all of my expectations. Very nice, friendly, inexpensive, helpful. Great. Next time we'll do the big tour.

Ape car Luxury top! - When you only have one day to visit Palermo, the ape taxi is the best solution. Francesco, an expert guide, tells the story but also the life of the people of Palermo. We chose to visit the places of Falcone and Borsellino told by those who were there at that time. A beautiful experience. The Ape ride is lively and fun to avoid the summer heat by visiting practically everything in just two and a half hours. A tour that remains in the heart and worth the expense. Thank you Francesco, from the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to forget: the peace gathered in via D'Amelio, the murals of Falcone and Borsellino. Long live the Palermo of the righteous.

Great snapshot of Palermo in one hour - A fantastic tour of Palermo if you have small children who can’t walk the distance. There was a recent negative review and I believe you should ignore it. Francesco was great and used google translate to explain sites to us in English. This is a must do if you’d like a quick tour of all the key spots in Palermo. Thank you

A real scam - Terrible experience!!!! We agreed on a flat rate which corresponded to 20 euros each, there were 3 of us, in the end it became 120 euros each. We didn't see anything different. We went to Mondello and Monreale. Giuseppe, that's the name of the driver of the bee, as soon as he put us down he completely changed his attitude, becoming rude and rude. A real scam!!!! Be wary of these tours or inform yourself very well before leaving. However, in any case I strongly advise against it as Monreale and Mondello can be easily reached by HopOnHopOff type bus for 15 euros per person!!!!!! Among other things....everything strictly in black, and when we asked for the receipt it got even more altered!!!!!!

Very bad experience - Absolutely not recommended!!! The price is not the one agreed at the beginning, but quadrupled... The driver (Giuseppe) seems nice and friendly, until he demands an exorbitant payment that was not agreed upon, or rather, agreed upon but not respected. Please don't be fooled too!!!

SCAM!!! - Announced 80€ per hour (which is already enormous for a tour of the city which is already accessible on foot), the driver does not speak to us, is on FaceTime with his friends, pretends to be nice to us and drives dangerously. He lets us have lunch somewhere where we have to wait a long time to charge us more money than expected. Announced €80 per hour but paid €160 because 1h30 instead of 1h. He did not want to negotiate €40 instead of €80 for the extra half hour. Then he follows us to the bank and forces us to pay without negotiating. Never take these taxis, it’s theft. Driver Rosario

A total Ripoff - Terrible ride, Don't waste your money on this tour unless you want to see back alleys in a "TapeCul" in the back alleys of Palermo. Picked up outside the Palermo port, by our Tapecul driver, Francesco. We had asked for a French-speaking driver when I asked him if he spoke French or English his answer was a little. I would say a few words in each language maximum The first stop was in the port, in front of the marina. The driver points to the port and says this is the port no comment. We then start cruising through the back alleys where he then points to a church, then a few more turns and points out to another church. The other back alleys and we stop at a church, he sends us inside to see the nice sculpted columns and walls of the church, but the driver always stays outside, with no comment. We then cross the old city center and the driver offers to leave us there so we could come back to the port by taxi, we declinde and then he drives us back to the port and says that's it all in 45 minutes. I tell him we paid for an hour tour and he tells me it's because we haven't visited the churches long enough. I PAID FOR A ONE-HOUR TOUR... Needless to say, he didn't get any tips. Very bad experience, at 93 $us, a total Ripoff.
