Monreale is a must see and including Mondello, a beach town near Palermo, was an interesting contrast. Mimmo was very pleasant and professional. He was very punctual. Dropped us off to see Monreale and dropped at Mondello and returned at agreed spot and right on time. Monreale had a lot of scaffolding; difficult to follow audioguide and locate discussed points of interest. However, Monreale deserves UNESCO designation. Mondello was fun as able to swim. Takes a little ingenuity.

So informed friendly and professional. Unfortunately we encountered horrible rainstorms during our visit, but our driver was so well informed he helped saved the day
