    What I loved the most is the ease of getting off at the places of interest and having approximately 30 minutes to walk around and then be able to take the next bus or wait for another one.

    You see a lot in a very short time and can get off at many places if you want to explore something briefly...we were thrilled and can only recommend it and would book it again immediately. In any case, you are busy all day in Palermo and flat in the evening 😄
