Traveling around Palermo in an Ape Car
Ape vehicle was fun. Getting from church to palace, etc. made it easy. Our understanding was the guide spoke English. He did somewhat but utilized a translation app to share what he knew of things around the city of Palermo. It was challenging when we asked questions about something and needing to utilize the translation app ourselves. Francesco was very nice, but I believe we would have gotten more out of the Ape/Tuk Tuk tour if he was more fluent in English.

Fabulous 1 hour tour of Palermo
Great 1 hour journey around Palermo’s main sites with time to stop off at several points to view and take photos. We had commentary in English from very knowledgeable driver. Would absolutely recommend. We are on a cruise and they picked us up and dropped us back 5 mins from the port. It was very hot the day we visited and would not have covered the area on foot.

Best way to discover Palermo!
It was a once in a lifetime experience to discover Palermo through a “Lamborghini” ape tour. Francesco was an excellent guide that knows everyone in Palermo and all the best places to visit. He is the best! Money well spent!

An experience
The tuc tuc was not there at the port as requested. Another tuc tuc driver helped us and made contact. The tuc tuc eventually arrived. I don’t think the driver was very pleased
Response from the operator: Unfortunately, it's not exactly what you say! Since you had no phone to reach her, she has a wheelchair with her where she stopped in a spot where she was not supposed to stop! But what I regret most is the fact that I didn't even appreciate the fact that for picking you up in a spot that wasn't even the designated one, they even gave me a ticket because of you! And you also have something to say about our actions! I'm truly sorry.

Crooks/thieves
Blatant dishonesty and thievery!! I booked t he Tour Gold - 4 hours for 290 euros. Martino the driver picked us up at the hotel at 10.00am He took us to a number sites in Palermo, some of which we chose not to go into to visit.He recommended a good restaurant for lunch and waited whist we ate. Then at 1.50pm we decided to finish the tour and he dropped us off in the city centre At which point he demanded 480 euros, which I paid thinking it seemed very high, but maybe I had misread the quote When I returned to the Hotel I checked the booking to find that the quote was 290 euros. I had the hotel call the company and demand why I had been overcharged. The lame excuse was that we had customised the tour to suit ourselves so there was an extra cost. As a gesture they agreed to refund 100 euros which they dropped around to the hotel in cash. These people and their driver are not to be trusted
Response from the operator: Sir, we are sorry for the misadventure, but unfortunately I have to tell you that you did not book with our agency, nor do we have any Martino, so please remove your review, after having accepted that it is not us, thank you and best regards

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tuk tuk ride, ape car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Palermo.
How much does Tuk tuk ride, ape car cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 Tuk tuk ride, ape car take?
+
Plan for about 0 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 Tuk tuk ride, ape car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 123 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 Tuk tuk ride, ape car?
+
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 Tuk tuk ride, ape car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tuk tuk ride, ape car?
+
Around 43 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 0-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tuk tuk ride, ape car 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.
