Overview

A blend of history, food, and everydayness. Palermo is shaped not only by its past empires but also by contemporary migration, making it a living crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A city that speaks to its explorer, that unfolds its mystery to those who are willing to listen. A blend of Arab and Sicilian architecture, followed by the beautiful Mediterranean, which itself is a metaphor of the vastness of humans.

Plus, the tour is not typically a historical tour, but rather a blend of cultural migration history over the years. So if you are looking for a tour focused on historical dates, etc., etc., sorry to disappoint, but then this is not for you. As I am not a professional guide, I am doing it as part of my research.

Try to be on time so the others don't have to wait.

Please cancel the tour at least one hour before if you cannot make it for any reason :)

Things to note

Hello everyone. Let's see Palermo through a migrant's lens!

Just a few things:
- You would find me at the bus station next to Central Station, holding a black umbrella.
- Try to arrive on time so others don't have to wait.
- The tour takes 2 hours, but I will try to finish in 1:30, so you have plenty of time for questions.
- And by the end of the tour, I really want you to leave reviews.
I look forward to seeing you!
