## Why each made the list

- **Palazzo Conte Federico** — Not a city walk but a house visit: one of the oldest palaces in Palermo, still lived in, where the family themselves show you round their rooms. It is a private tour for your party and a short one, and it is not advised with spinal injuries, in pregnancy or with a weak heart. 4.93 from 710 reviews at €15 per person for 45m–1h.
- **Palermo Walking Tour and Street Food** — The market walk that also takes you inside Palermo Cathedral, with a local guide, food tastings and a drink in the price. Cruise passengers are collected at the port in the morning but not taken back, souvenir photos cost extra, and a wheelchair needs flagging when you book. 4.89 from 640 reviews at €46 per person for 3h.
- **The Godfather Origins of Mafia: Corleone & Visit Monreale Duomo** — A private day out of Palermo to Corleone and the Ficuzza countryside for the origins of the mafia story, with Monreale Cathedral on the way back and hotel or ship pickup. Commentary comes from the driver rather than a guide inside the sites, and the Corleone museum ticket and meals are extra. 4.91 from 91 reviews at €275 per person for 6h–7h.
- **Markets and Monuments: Walking Tour in the Center of Palermo** — A walk that puts the old market streets and the big monuments on one route, past Teatro Massimo and the Cathedral, with pickup at the port included. Food and drinks are not: tastings at the stalls and entry to churches are paid on the spot, and booking needs a minimum of two. 4.88 from 96 reviews at €35 per person for 3h.
- **Palermo Historic Center Catacombs and Monreale CruiserCar Tour** — Palermo from an open top nine seat cabriolet, with a licensed driver and a guide on board, drinks and snacks as you ride, and wheelchair access. The short tier stays in the historic centre and only the longer one reaches the Capuchin Catacombs and Monreale, and it is a private tour for your party. 4.87 from 52 reviews at €99 per person.
- **Full Day City Tour in Palermo, Monreale and Mondello from Palermo** — A full day by private minivan through the Palermo monuments, Monreale and Mondello, with hotel or port pickup and stops set down at the door so you barely walk. Your driver explains on the way and waits outside: no licensed guide comes inside, and tickets, food and drinks are extra. 4.83 from 30 reviews at €250 per person.
- **Discover the Charm of Palermo: A 3-Hour UNESCO Sites Walking Tour** — A walk through the Baroque and Norman Arab centre with Piazza Pretoria and its fountain, entrance to the Cathedral included and a Sicilian cannolo or granita along the way. The other monuments are seen from the outside, there is no hotel pickup, and tips are extra. 4.82 from 422 reviews at €29 per person for 3h.
- **Discover Palermo** — A plain walk through the old heart of Palermo with a certified guide, taking in the historic markets along with the churches and squares between them. The price covers the guide and the walk and nothing else, so tastings at the stalls and any entry tickets are paid as you go. 4.79 from 117 reviews at €45 per person for 2h–3h.
- **Palermo No Mafia walking tour: discover the Anti-mafia culture in Sicily** — The walk that reads the city through the civil anti-mafia movement, explaining Cosa Nostra and the shops that refuse to pay protection money, with part of the fee going to the Addiopizzo association. A local guide is included, lunch is not, and there is no hotel pickup. 4.8 from 1164 reviews at €34 per person for 3h.
- **Palermo: Norman Palace & Palatine Chapel – Small Group or Private** — Tickets and a guided visit to the Norman Palace, its gardens and the Byzantine mosaics of the Palatine Chapel, bookable as a shared group or privately. The palace is a working seat of government, so the visit can be called off when official business is on, and there is no hotel pickup. 4.68 from 93 reviews at €43 per person for 1h 30m.
- **Palermo : Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide** — A private tour for your party where you agree the route with the guide beforehand, meeting at your accommodation or the cruise terminal, with tiers from a couple of hours to a full day. Tickets to museums and monuments are not included, so those are seen from outside unless you arrange entry in advance. 4.61 from 356 reviews at €45 per person.
