Wonderful
Beautiful place, highly recommend to all

Worth every cent!
The ticket got us entry to every part and was worth every cent! It was a fabulous tour and we couldn’t have been happier. Only critique is that there was no address on the ticket and being a tourist just meant that I had to have access to the internet to look it up. Minor but would have been easier to have it on there.

Terrible local tour provider and messy communication with Tripadvisor
First of all, I never received actual tickets by email, I had only original voucher from Tripadvisor/Viator. Just a day before this tour was planned, I got a message from a local tour operator (Maria) that this tour is cancelled due to their inability to get an access to Montreale on that day. This message was sent to the internal Viator mailbox and I got it just by accident. The message recommended to contact Tripadvisor immediately to request a full refund. When I tried to this online, even though the tour was cancelled by the provider, the text on the screen warned that if I push cancel, no refund will be issued. I called local provider (Palermo) and he again said I have to contact Tripadvisor as they have my money and they should refund to my credit card. I asked him if they will inform Tripadvisor about this situation themselves, but his answer was confusing. Now, I really do not know how to contact the Tripadvisor/Viator help desk to resolve this issue. Please, send me an explanation on my next steps using my email address from my account and message on my Iphone.
Response from the operator: Good morning, to clarify, we did not cancel a tour, you purchased a ticket for an independent visit, not a guided tour. We have refunded your reservation because while we can confirm a different time than you requested, we do not want to cause problems with your vacation schedule and prefer to leave you free to get your ticket at the exact time you want. We cannot refund because we have not been paid, you have paid Tripadvisor which you can reach at customer.care@viator.com to request a full refund as you have been told by Maria.

Not worth it
We went from Palermo by bus to Monreal paid 15 euros entrance fee. Well felt ripped off. I would say 5 euros would be enough. The best part of the alter was closed off for renovation went round it in 10 mins never again

Very nice visit!
We went here to check out the church and the cloister. Was really nice to see all the artwork, tilework and history this place has had. The gardens were also really nice.

Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Palermo is not rushed.
Is Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 89 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Monreale cloister Entrance Ticket in Palermo?
+
Around 31 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Palermo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Palermo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Palermo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
