Absolute must when you...
Absolute must when you visit Palermo and want to learn more about the initiatives taken against the maffia. Very informative and Giuseppe was super knowledgeable!

Need Earphones but interesting
If you’re going to have tours of at least 16 people, you should provide earphones. It was hard to hear the guide at times which we missed some key facts. The tour guide Celia was excellent as she knew her history. It was just difficult to hear sometimes because group was too big. Company should provide earphones when group is bigger than 8 people. Great history of how the No mafia worked and how the mafia controlled the area until late 90s.

Exceptionally excellent tour!!
We have done many tours in many cities. This was perhaps the very best. Excellent guide was Attilio. Fascinating and he knew so much history.

No Mafia is well worth it
Very educational and enlightning regarding the influence of the Sicilian mafia both in the past and present.

Large group
The tour could have been good but the group was too big to hear the guide. The use of earbuds would help this problem.

+
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.
