La guía en Palermo fue excelente pero aclaro de entrada que el aporte mínimo por persona era de € 10.- Al finalizar el recorrido, tres jóvenes se ve que le dieron mes y les remarcó que el valor estipulado era € 10. Se hicieron los desentendidos y se fueron. Lo comento porque si es un FREE WALKING TOUR, es a voluntad, no hay mínimos. Quiero aclarar que esta práctica se está generalizando, me sucedió también en Roma No corresponde si lo ofrecen como FREE. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide in Palermo was excellent, but I want to clarify from the outset that the minimum contribution per person was €10. At the end of the tour, three young people apparently gave her money, and she emphasized that the agreed-upon price was €10. They pretended not to understand and left. I mention this because if it's a free walking tour, it's pay-what-you-want; there are no minimums. I want to clarify that this practice is becoming widespread; it also happened to me in Rome. It's not right if they offer it as free. Opinion translated. Show original.

Valerie was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. A great way to get an insight into the city as a starting point and even if you’ve been here and explored independently she is able to share some local recommendations on what to see in addition to what’s covered in the walk.

Hicimos el free tour por Palermo y nos encantó. Nuestra guía, Virginia (creo recordar), era local y lo transmitía en cada explicación: contenido interesante, ameno y lleno de detalles que no encontrarías por tu cuenta. Se nota que disfruta enseñando su ciudad.Recomendado 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

We did the free tour of Palermo and loved it. Our guide, Virginia (if I remember correctly), was local and conveyed that in every explanation: interesting content, enjoyable, and full of details you wouldn't find on your own. You can tell she enjoys teaching about her city. 100% recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Marta, nuestra guía, ha sido muy animada y se nota que siente orgullo por su ciudad. El tour es corto para toooda la historia que hay que resumir y eso hace que sea demasiada información en poco tiempo. Lo recomiendo porque ves muchos lugares importantes y te ubicas para poder callejear luego por tu cuenta. Translate this opinion into English.

Marta, our guide, was very enthusiastic and clearly proud of her city. The tour is short considering all the history it covers, which makes it a bit overwhelming. I recommend it because you see many important landmarks and it helps you get your bearings so you can explore the city on your own afterward. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un free tour interesante y ameno para conocer Palermo. El guía conocía muy bien la ciudad y explicaba todo de forma cercana y entretenida.
