Ciao!

We are Mauro, Marcella and Alberto Amato

People often say: “with you we feel like in a family”. Actually we don’t only feel it, but we are: three siblings! Furthermore, Alberto and Marcella are even twins!

Palermo is the town where our family from generations is from, we grew up and where we took our degrees. We have a great love for our city and a big passion for arts. That’s why we offer high quality experiences for individuals, families and groups. We are fluent in English, German, Spanish and Italian.

Tripadvisor reviews

We spent three days in Palermo as part of an Australian group touring Sicily. Alberto was our guide in that city and he made it a great experience. He is knowledgeable and witty and willing to answer any questions that were asked of him. I know lots more about the cathedral at Monreale, the beautiful Town Hall at Palermo, life in Sicily when the Mafia wielded so much power and life in Sicily in general. – Jacquie

My family just visited Sicily and Italy main land. Our trip started in Palermo with Mauro. He was excellent and this started our trip out to be wonderful. We spent 2 full days with Mauro, 1 day in Palermo and the second day in Caccamo and Agrigento. Mauro was perfect, knowledgeable, professional and very caring in our trip. He assisted us in locating family records in Caccamo. His passion and proud-fullness of these cities made it so interesting. Mauro also assisted us with other personal tour guides in Taormina, Pompeii Rome. Our trip was wonderful. – Michael

Alberto was outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and organized . Our tour was excellent we had so much fun ,he was very helpful in setting up the tour and also hotel pickup and drop off from Castellamare del Golfo. Thank you Alberto! – Laura and Joe

Fantastic day with Mauro! We booked a morning drive around the city, Monreale and Mondello in vintage Fiat 500 followed by an afternoon walking tour. Great way to explore the city. We saw and learned so much in one day! Mauro also adapted greatly to the August heat and our two (restless) kids. – Raoul

Marcella was a fantastic guide – we were so lucky to have a tour with her! Her knowledge of the city is extraordinary – not just in terms of history, politics and architecture etc. but she is full of incredible recommendations for the best cuisine and other contemporary places. She was so energetic and gave a real flavour of Palermo with all its hidden gems. – Elisabeth

Marcella was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide! Her knowledge of art and history was vast and accurate, as well as engaging. If we could have Marcella guide our whole trip, we would feel blessed. She is very professional, courteous, and has a fantastic knowledge of the best sights and food to eat! – Francesca Castaños
