The Tour was wonderful, Our tour guide Umberto was fantastic, he had so much knowledge of Sicily and all the surrounding areas. We started our drive to Corleone which flew by with all the stories Umberto shared. He could answer any questions we had for him. Once we arrived in Corleone we met up with other tourists from Umberto’s brother’s tour who joined us on the walk to the museum. Once we arrived we were greeted by Michelangelo and his son. Who owned the house. The tour was fantastic and very informative and interesting. After the museum Umberto took us to Monreale showing us where to go and the best places to eat! Once the day was finished he took us back to Palermo and told us where to go. The tour was fantastic and we would recommend to anyone!!

Umberto treated us to a special day in rural Sicily, exploring the history of the Mafia in Corleone and visiting one of the most special churches in Europe at his home town of Monreale. Umberto is a warm and very congenial host with a treasure of local knowledge and history which he dispenses with much charm and generosity. Highly recommended.

We went on a private tour to Corleone. Our family had Umberto while my sister’s had Umberto’s brother. They were on time with clear instructions via whatsapp. It was a wonderful and fun day. Umberto was very knowledgeable and walked with us to destinations and places where locals go. Kids were very entertained with the mafia house. If you have plans to go in other towns like Cefalu and Monreale, it’s best you arrange with them as well. They can do all instead of doing different tour companies.

Wow what a fantastic day ! We had a wonderful time the whole day was a brilliant experience, Christian collected us from outside our apartment , the vehicle was luxurious clean and perfectly equipped. He welcomed us and made us feel at ease, First we drove to the mafia village of Corleone on the way Christian explained the history of the mafia going back 300 yrs and it’s original origins. No questions were to much trouble for him he spoke perfect English and was happy to clarify any details we asked about . Once we arrived in the village he was happy to stop for pictures and his knowledge of the area and locations was first class , he knew all the best areas for pictures and didn’t rush us at any time. Once we had parked on Corleone he showed us around the small town starting in the main square, then we were able to walk the small streets to the mafia museum called the godfather house , this was great the owners father and son were brilliant both intellectuals and very funny. We had a great experience with them & would recommend the tour to the godfather house. Then we traveled to the Cathedral of Monte real , we arrived at lunchtime as the church didn’t open until 2.30pm this allowed us opportunity to walk around the area eat some lunch, the Cathedral was beautiful with the most amazing ceilings I have ever seen and was free to enter. After this we mentioned the amount of pine core sculptures we had seen around Sicilly, Cristian ask if would like to visit a local independent artist who produced these and other sculptures in a factory close by , we immediately decided yes. He then took us to Nicolo Giuliano factory which was closed due to it being a Saturday, but this amazing kind and humble genius arrived and opened the factory for us and showed myself and my daughter the complete process of creating the amazing artwork he produces, we were blown away by his creativity, his patience to explain his life’s work & humbleness… what beautiful people! This was so kind of Cristian to allow us this opportunity and completely unexpected. The was no attempt to push to buy anything (although we did) as the items produced were so beautiful it would be hard not to love them. After we thanked Nicolo Cristian returned us to our apartment , he also gave us a list films to watch and experience the world of the mafia and the history of the real Sicily. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the truth about the mafia Corleone and the history of Sicily. And sharing the experience with a fantastic intellectual tour guide. Thanks again Cristian!! Simon & Iona . .
