What to bring?

It's always smart to wear comfortable shoes since you'll be on your feet for most of the tour. A good camera and a water bottle are also recommended.

Is there any chance my tour might be canceled?

On the rare occasions the tour is canceled, we'll inform you as soon as possible. We will work with you to reschedule your tour when possible or provide a full refund.

Is there a dress code to enter the religious sites on this tour? 

We ask both men and women to cover knees and shoulders, otherwise the Palatine Chapel might refuse entry and you’ll miss out on a portion of your tour. We understand the summers in Sicily can be hot, so a great alternative is to bring a shawl/scarf/sweater with you. That way you can cover your knees and shoulders when necessary.

In the case of airline ticket cancellations, additional airline ticketing fees may also apply. Please check our policies page for more detailed information.

After you submit your reservation please send copies of passports of all participants, and your arrival/departure airport transfer informations via email [email protected] For further assistance please feel free to call +905434428069

An unforgettable tour of Palermo’s regal treasures! The guide was fantastic, and the sites were absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I was stepping back in time. Highly recommend this tour!

Great tour with a lot of interesting stops. The architecture was stunning, and the guide was very knowledgeable. I just wish we had a bit more time to explore on our own. Overall, a wonderful experience!
