Umberto, the driver who can thread the needle. Salvatore, the best English and the most knowledgeable-especially Montrealé. Flexible too!

Our family of six could not have been more delighted with our tour of Palermo. Our driver, Cristian, was good humored, helpful and obliging and our guide, Salvatore di Bella, was incredible. His in depth knowledge of history provided us with background to the various sights, and his description of the relationship between the sects and important personage while viewing the Monreale Cathedral was awesome. I cannot begin to describe the enriching effect that his sincerity and humanity had upon our trip.

Tour guide was nice, but didn't really tell us anything about the city. Just drove us around & stopped at a few places so.we could take pictures. Basically, a taxi.
