    Good tour to take to understand how the mafia works.

    Hello, The tour is interesting and provides a lot of information about the mafia and the no-mafia movement. We walk a little and the tour helps us get our bearings in the historic center of Palermo. However, we did not visit any structures and made 5 stops in front of or behind buildings. I would have liked to walk a little more in the streets with some info about Palermo at the same time. Interesting and well-informed guide.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased that you found the guide knowledgeable and the tour informative. This experience is specifically focused on the history of the Mafia and the No Mafia movement in Palermo, with stops at significant locations connected to this history rather than visits inside buildings. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

    Very Informative

    Excellent tour through some historic Anti Mafia sites. We had a great tour guide, Giuseppe. Reasonably priced too.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed discovering Palermo's history and the important anti-mafia sites with Giuseppe. We're also glad you found the tour informative and good value. We hope to welcome you again in Palermo!

    One of the best walking tours I've done.

    Interesting, informative and educational, plus very relevant. Guide was so engaging. Small group only 11 of us.

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad you enjoyed our small group tour. We believe that keeping the group size limited is the best way to ensure an engaging and educational experience for everyone. It's great to hear our guide made the history feel so relevant!

    A must-see tour in Palermo

    Our guide, Salvatore, was amazing. He was so well informed, passionate, and professional. He’s a local, but his English was impeccable, and he was so easy to understand. We learned so much that we had no idea about when it comes to the mafia.

    The tour was wonderful....

    The tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that the group had. Be aware that there is a lot of walking, however there are places to sit and listen as the tour continues. I would recommend for everyone.

    Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.

    How much does Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 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 Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours 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 Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Palermo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Palermo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). 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.

    What is included in Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: English, Italian or French-speaking guide; and Donation to Addiopizzo, a grassroots movement established to build a community of business. Not included: Anything not mentioned in inlcusions. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour?

    +

    Meet your guide at the entrance to the theater. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour?

    +

    What happens to Palermo: Anti-Mafia 3-Hour Walking Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
