Palermo Tours and Trips

It goes to a great range of places, each with their own unique history. The sites visited are all amazing and worth seeing. The people in each place are welcoming and proud of their history.

The itinerary includes all important towns and events, the cathedrals and the Count's private home are only two of the historical items to mention. The Unesco sites are an important part of the tour itinerary. It seems that on this tour Everyone took park in the optional events, so I think that's important to keep as well. Ernesta F. included extra information which is one of the reasons we travel with Insight. She was very prepared each day and actually several days ahead Ernesta filled everyone in with what we were doing and how long it would be. Driver Antonio handled the bus exceptionally well and was so polite. It is a good idea to include prepaying the director and driver in the Insight tour fee, then if we wish to over and above donate it's good for them too. I noticed another bus had water on board to sell- I know that Insight prefers we have non-plastic reusable bottles, but sometimes we forget. Especially in the hot summer/fall tours. I think they were stored with the luggage--would this be a good idea?

Well paced. Busy but time to rest and do your own thing. Local guides were awesome and tour director was top notch! Food was great too and I’m from an Italian background.

The itinerary includes a number of UNESCO World Heritage sites, all very interesting. Aside from the day travelling to Sicily, there was lots of time to sight see with the local guides. Lunch breaks were never rushed with plenty of time to eat, enjoy local wines and/or shop. The optional tours were well organized and interesting. The optional dinners were fabulous and several times included as many as 14 different dishes. The Masseria farm to table dinner held under a vine covered trellis was particularly memorable.

Ernesta F. is a great travel director. The local guides are all phenomenal as well. We saw a variety of sites ; for example I loved going to the olive oil farm. The food was great as well. It was indeed meticulously organized. Thank you. Michael

It is full on but very interesting. Would have liked to had Malta added as it apparently was in 2024 and could be in 2026. Disappointing we needed to do this as a separate tour.
