Knowing Palermo thanks to Danila is knowing the essence of the city. In addition to a great professionalism and excellent monumental and architectural preparation, she makes you passionate about the... history of every building, alley, church or square. You come home not only having known ... but above all having "lived" the beautiful Palermo. Thanks Danila! On our next visit.read more

Danila was just the ideal guide, we are a family of 4 with two teenagers and a dogWe visited Palermo between history, local legends and cuisine.A journey through time that is never boring as culture... and curiosity alternate. This "private" tour allows you to follow your "personal" rhythms, forget the clock and every square and corner of this wonderful city becomes an opportunity and a unique amazement thanks to Danila who transmitted to us the love for her city and which introduced us to the best cannoli ever eatenread more

In my opinion, a good guide must be able to capture your attention even after hours of visiting. Well .... then Danila is !!!!! Prepared, available, she puts a lot of enthusiasm and passion into her... work. He was able to give us valuable advice on restaurants, visits to be done independently in the rest of the days. Absolutely satisfied so I can only recommend her highly. Thanks Danila !!!!read more

Danila deeply loves her city and this love shines through in her words and the transport with which she tells it. With Danila we visited Monreale and Palermo, finding in her a highly trained person... and a serious and competent professional. I believe he is among the best guides I have ever come across. The hours spent with her have flown by. Thanks Danila for the passion you pour into your work and your city. It was a beautiful visit!read more

A unique experience lived with Danila! I and the 'women' of my family, sisters-in-law, nieces and sister, were in Palermo last week for three days. We were lucky enough to meet Danila, absolutely the... best guide in Palermo! It was she who, accompanying us to discover this city, made us fall in love with it! Daniela is Palermo! He loves his job and transmits his passion for his land to his customers (who immediately become friends)! Very well prepared, very cultured and truly super informed on everything, she guided us on two tours that allowed us to discover a city that was at times even unprecedented. Secret corners, legends linked to characters (the Monachella), hidden passages, alleys full of charm..... this was Palermo thanks to her. So see you next time... we've named you Super Guide of the Year!read more

Danila is just amazing! She deserves all the stars. In 2019 I did a guided tour with Danila and I wrote: “She is taking you into your thoughts, letting you look in the same direction and making you... look in that direction, grabbing you(r)(attention) and holding it for a while and giving it back. It is not overwhelm you but enchants you.” The way Danila takes you to see Palermo together is very special. So it invited me to come back. In October 2021 I had two tours with her. She is tireless: what energy and what empathy! Danila sympathizes with me, her guest, takes into account my taste and preferences and leaves time and place for my own wishes. Professional, competent and well informed about the ins and outs of Palermo, she conveys all her passion and love and lets you watch an discover together. With Danila you can discover places you would never find. That’s exactly the reason to take such a good guide. Thanks Danila. Hugoread more

We relied on Danila during our very short two day stop in Palermo.She made us visit the city "telling it to us" in a truthful way, making us discover particular glimpses and also not purely... touristic ones, as we had requested.The two walking tours done with her were really exciting becauseDanila is absolutely the best!Very knowledgeable about her wonderful city, she passionately tells you anecdotes and folk curiosities that allow you to know and breathe "the true soul" of Palermo, as well as providing you with detailed and extremely precise historical notes.We will definitely come back and you, Danila, will be our point of reference!Thanks again!read more
