Palermo is an urban melting pot characterized by history and culture so diverse that it often feels conflicted. Discover an intriguing range of architectural styles, from Arabian domes to baroque buildings, and enjoy delicious cuisine that spans a variety of origins. Be sure to visit the Palace of the Normans, the Palatine Chapel and the church of St. John of the Hermits. Art and music lovers won’t want to miss the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (the “GAM”), the Salinas or an opera or ballet at the Teatro Massimo.

Mimmo is a superb driver and guide. Informed, considerate and kind, he drove us across Sicily and revealed the character and mystery of Sicily to us along the way with intelligence, good cheer and humor. His English is impeccable. When we return, we will certainly use his services again. We loved Sicily, and Mimmo was a big part of the experience.

Great sites and tour - enough time to explore sites at own pace. Driver / guide very nice and helpful. I was on a tour with just one other person, and our driver was flexible in light of small group size. Everyone wore masks.

My husband and i returned from Sicily and used Panormus on several occasions to help us explore the island. Our driver was Mimmo and he was an absolute delight...he was so accomodating, pleasant, interesting and spoke very good English! We loved being with him and would recommend anyone ask to have him as your driver! Panormus is an excellent company...they respond quickly to inquiries and make the process of arrangements flawless...don't consider using any other company. Their prices are comparable with everyone else so you are not overpaying when using them. We felt completely taken care of and we are so happy that they were the company we used! And, as an extra bonus, Mimmo and Marcus went to the trouble of picking up some magnets that I wanted and did not buy enough of in the market in Palermo and gave them to me as a parting gift...it doesn't get better than that!!

Impossible to do a tour around the city with this bus. Bus only stops every 45min at stops, in reality even longer. App also doesn't work. Indicative waiting times fluctuate to 90min... It is faster to walk from one attraction to the other.
