Valeria, the tour guide, was amazing. Our small group had a lot of fun. The museum in Carleone was great and we learned a lot about history of Sicily and Sicilian mafia as well as about the brave people who fought against Mafia. We used a public bus to go to Carleone and back to Palermo and it was a lovely experience in itself. I strongly recommend this tour.

A riveting tour. The guide was passionate and knowledgeable about the subject and was great company, offering insights into the complex history of Corleone, the Mafia, and the history of Sicily and Italy that works to dispell the myths and Hollywood glamour that has wrongly been applied to an organisation still causing harm throughout the country. Highly recommended as the guide brings the true history to life in a way books and documentaries can't quite manage, but be sure to arrive at least ten minutes before the start of the tour and note that the round trip cost of the bus is in addition to the tour price.

Our tour guide (Linda) absolutely made this tour! She was very enthusiastic about explaining the history of the mafia and helping us to understand the reality of it all. We were a small group (4 of us tourists) which made it even more special since we could easily ask questions and get to know each other. Corleone felt like a unique place and I would highly recommend visiting there. Although the bus ride there was bumpy and winding, the views and museum in Corleone were well worth the journey. I'll be telling my friends all about this tour and would encourage those interested in the subject and Sicilian history to go. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Can’t say enough about this great tour. Very different because you take a city bus from Palermo to Corleone with the guide. Our guide ,Veronica, was very knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to spread the day with. She guided us around Corleone with excellent descriptions and explanations of the real Mafia. We visited a confiscated prior Mafia owned home that is now an educational center that features very moving art about the anti- Mafia movement. During the walk we also went to a beautiful waterfall area, such a surprise right in town. We finished the afternoon with a delicious lunch at another Mafia confiscated home that is now a restaurant- home cooked food from Mafia confiscated fields. Very memorable and different tour- highly recommended- fabulous job Veronica!!!

Eduardo was an amazing tour guide. He has deep knowledge of Sicily and mafia history and was very willing to answer all of our questions. We had a very pleasant walking tour of Corleone; he helped us with transport from Palermo also. Would highly recommend this tour; very pleasant and provides great added information about Sicily.
