From start to finish, our boat trip in Palermo was nothing short of spectacular. Alberto was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire booking process, making sure all our requests were met with efficiency and care. His dedication truly set the tone for a seamless experience.

One of the standout aspects of this experience is that it’s a family-run business, which adds a personal and welcoming touch from the moment of booking until the end of the trip. My friends and I were warmly received by mamma Angela and Luca, whose hospitality made our journey truly special. Their friendly nature and genuine enthusiasm turned our trip into an unforgettable adventure, making us feel more like family than just guests.

The entire experience was flawless and exceeded all our expectations. From the breathtaking scenery to the impeccable service, every moment was filled with joy and relaxation. If you’re looking for a remarkable boat trip in Palermo, this is the one to choose—highly recommended!

Great experience, awesome guide.
Suzanne and I booked a 3 hour quad bike tour with Palermo experiences and we were not disappointed.
We met as planned with our guide, Alberto Blandeno.
We were briefed with the planned trip and did a safety brief for the quad bike, a straight forward process.
After quick orientation of the bikes controls we followed our guide at a steady pace to get used to the bike on the road. We then continued on our drive out of the city. We headed to Mondello Beach and took in the amazing views along the way before heading to Monte Pellegrino and the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia.
The had the opportunity of just enough stops for photos on the way, had a break at the cafe at the top of the mountain before a short walk to the Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia.
At the cafe we had a quick bite, panini was delicious and the Cannoli was alone was almost worth the ride up.
Our guide, Alberto, was very informative with a locals wealth of knowledge of the area.
The quad bike ride up the Mountain was awesome and highly recommended.
Palermo experiences was easy to deal with and went out of there way to organise our experience at relatively short notice, the day before.

We had the absolute best day on our boat tour with Alberto! We were in Palermo for one day on our cruise stop and we are so glad we booked this tour! Alberto was so thoughtful and took wonderful care of our family the entire day. We loved the swimming stops and the kids LOVED the water scooters! The food was abundant and delicious. Alberto took photos throughout the day and even surprised us with a printed photo of our family which ended up being our favorite photo of our whole trip! Every detail was carefully thought of and we are so grateful. If you get the chance to book this tour.. do it!

We were a group of 7 girls throwing a hen party for our friend in Sicily, and booking a boat tour with Palermo Experiences was easily the best decision we made!

From the get-go, communication was a breeze—clear, friendly, and super helpful. Once you’re on this beautiful island, you quickly notice how kind and welcoming Sicilians are… and Angela and Luca are no exception. They’re the kind of people who make you feel instantly at home.

The tour itself? Absolutely magical. We visited a cave, had plenty of time to swim, snap pics, and just soak it all in. But the real secret weapon? The food and drinks on board! Homemade, delicious, and served with so much love. Honestly, we felt like one big family floating on the sea—laughing, sharing stories, and even matching outfits. Yes, even Angela joined in and looked incredible!

Angela, I’m calling you for the next hen—but this time I’m showing up as a guest because, as we say in Ireland, you understand the craic! (Translation: you really know how to have fun!)

Thank you both for everything—the warm hospitality, the incredible food, the unforgettable moments, and even the little gift surprise that you gave us all… WHAT A DETAIL ❤️…and all the love you put into what you do.

Non vi dimenticherò mai!

With love from Ireland!

Fantastic experience! Quad tour through the splendid Mondello up to Monte Pellegrino where you have the opportunity to visit the sanctuary dedicated to Santa Rosalia! The cunzato bread and cannoli are delicious and can be enjoyed right under the sanctuary. Finally, a wonderful panorama of Palermo from the Monte Pellegrino viewpoint. To be recommended!

We booked the sunset tour and had a very relaxing time. Angela and Luca are great hosts. From the start we felt very comfortable. We were treated to various delicacies.
The sea was wonderfully calm that day and the colors in the November light were beautiful. The weather was perfect.
Thank you for the wonderful experience and the nice surprise at the end.
Kind regards and we'll be back.

This is an amazing experience, the caves were cool to explore, the water scooters make it very easy to get over there and see the fish on your way over there. All the food was phenomenal and the cannolis were the best we had our entire time in Sicily. Would highly recommend this tour to others planning to come to Palermo.
