SICILY · ANTI-MAFIA TOURS
A serious walk through recent Palermo history: the courthouse, the killings, the businesses that refused to pay, told by guides from the neighbourhoods where it happened. The 6 below are priced and timed, and every one of them is a history tour rather than an entertainment.

Palermo’s evening anti-mafia walking tour in the Kalsa, tracing Falcone and Borsellino through real sites and 3 major crime locations.
“Angela, our guide was fantastic and such a good narrator. The best tour I did in Sicily!”
Visit CIDMA in Corleone with a guided look at the Palermo maxi-trial folders and Battaglia photos, showing the real anti-mafia fight in 1 hour.
“Like most people I expect, we arrived with a preconception of the Mafia coloured by the Godfather movies. We were disabused of this through a tour of the building’s gallery of photographs and a very good guide who was thorough but not overbearing with facts. We came away with a clearer view of the activities of the real Mafia and those who sought to bring them to justice.”
Palermo anti-mafia bike tour on bike paths and old-town alleys, honoring Falcone and Borsellino and exploring Addiopizzo and Libera.
“Stefano vertelde veel over de organisatie en het bestrijden van de maffia. Interessant!”
2.5-hour English walk in Palermo’s Kalsa tracing Falcone and Borsellino, 10 stops, including 3 major mafia crime sites.
“We were a small group. Angela personalised the tour and made it an exceptionally informative and enjoyable experience. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about the personalities in both the Mafia and police as the battle raged in Paloma to break the mafia and bring its people to justice. We visited places of interest at a comfortable pace, but always with the many stories behind events there. We got more than our monies worth with the insights, and extra time that Angela spent with us! Many thanks!”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
