We really enjoyed the tour of Palermo there is a lot to see and this tour covered most of it
Loved this tour!! Bus was easy to locate, and tour information was great!!
Great way to get acquainted with the city!
The biggest problem was locating the bus stops. Despite having a map showing given points of pick /drop off, they weren't always signposted with the bus tour making it very difficult to know if you were in the right place. Locals were helpful but often didn't know themselves or sent us to the wrong bus stop. Wasted a lot of time on a one day trip in Palermo waiting at bus stops and often the wrong ones. Clearer signposting like a simple solution of company sign at designated bus stops would be useful? We did the A line route but never found the B line. Even the bus company staff were vague and we went the wrong way. Expensive really at 20 each. Horse and carriage only costs 50 bartered down and they let you get off and explore sights too and can carry four people.
This is a good way to get around the busy city, but the commentary is minimal. There is such opportunity to provide visitors with information on the sights and history surrounding us, but that just didn't happen. You still need your own guide book to figure out what you're looking at and the historical relevance. We walked up to the catacombs from stop 6 I think and that was interesting. I usually love seeing new cities this way, but this tour was definitely lacking.
Did not take the bus. Hired a taxi and had great ride around Palermo on a Sunday with many stores closed. He took us to a beach and we had a coffee . Great time
Have had better hop off and on. Not much information given. Information given did not match place. Hard to find the first stop
