Our guide, Nicolette, was so knowledgeable and fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the 3-hour tour. I was sad when it was over. My 11 and 13 yr old liked it too but it was a little long for them, not at the fault of the guide one bit, just their age.

All of the experience was breathtaking. The whole park is amazing and very well kept. The guide was very good at not annoying my children that went through a three and a half hour guided tour! Luckily the weather was good and not too warm. This helped a lot. The park is full of shaded areas and water fountains anyway. Recommended tour.

Wish we had read the reviews before booking. Palermo is quite small and most the main sights are very central, so you don’t really need a bus tour. However, even if you are not keen on walking, the bus tour will be of little use, as the advertised ‘hop on, hop off, every 20 minutes’ is simply untrue. The bus only arrives every 90 minutes (we lunched in a restaurant next to the stop we alighted from and that was the time gap). In addition, there is no access to a live map for bus arrivals, so you have no idea when the next bus will arrive. In a nutshell, it’s a rip off.

We booked to go on the hop on hop off bus in Rome. They specifically asked for our dates. Then they cancelled because of the coronavirus issue. This is fine. But then they refused a refund on the basis that the tickets were valid for 6 months. This was of no value to ourselves. We had specifically told them the dates as they requested. Since then I have had fascile emails asking if they had sorted out my problems. The trips may be ok but as a company they are not to be trusted with pre-booking. Terry
