Highlights Of Palermo & Monreale [Sicily]

Enjoy a private guided tour with a local expert guide in Palermo and a driver.  You’ll go through the different areas of Palermo to view its various architectural styles, that consist of Art Nouveau, Baroque, Arabic & French Norman.  Along with seeing its more important sites: Quattro Canti, Piazza Pretoria, & the Massimo Theatre.  Palermo is going though a rebirth, and is becoming revitalized with new art galleries & restaurants.

It’s a charming city where the air smells of sweet pastries, backstreets open onto pretty squares and mosaic churches found throughout.

Visit inside the imposing Palermo Cathedral, which at one time was a mosque & view its Arabic, Gothic and Baroque influences. Then with both your driver & guide you’ll head out of Palermo and drive to Monreale to see its famous 12th century splendid Duomo, considered to be the finest example of Norman architecture in Sicily. Its dazzling interior is almost completely covered in gilded mosaics, the work of Byzantine artisans.  You’ll be able to survey Palermo from up here.
