Giusi is the best!

Giusi was an amazing tour guide. Took us off the beaten path to places and experiences we’d never find on our own. Giusi also seemed to know everyone in the city. Felt like we were getting a tour of a new city from a friend. Can’t recommend enough!

A Palermo Must Do!!!

Giusi was fabulous!! So kind, funny, and informative! She really made the experience. We had a private tour for a family of six, and I could not recommend it more! Her knowledge and passion for the city and food was amazing! Thank you, Giusi!
