Palermo, Sicily Port Reviews

Yet another beautiful destination with much to see and do.

We bought the "Hop-on-hop-off" ticket on board. We had to wait 20 plus minutes in the rain for the bus then when it arrived, it was old and open to the elements. When we finally pulled away, a large puddle of water from the roof landed on me and I was drenched. Then the bus took a half an hour to turn around and return to our location for the tour - the streets were crazy busy and packed with vehicles. We decided to get off at a Cathedral and waited for the next bus which was full so we ended up waiting 40 minutes total before an available bus. By the time we returned to the port, we had had enough and returned to the ship. We were told that the ship would be stopping at Naples in the future - GREAT IDEA. Palermo is way to crowded!

The port is right in the middle of the city. We did the Hop on Hop Off bus and stopped at 2 street markets. So interesting! We loved hearing the audio history on the bus as well.

Yes and yes

Island is lovely however I was left by my tour guide. See full review.

Not my favorite port but one of my favorite excursions. We chose an authentic pasta making class (booked through Cesarine on viator). Watch for the heavy traffic and drivers if walking. Taxi drivers did bombard us when exiting the pier.

Just did a little shopping here, but still beautiful.

Did a wine tasting tour here, good hour coach from the small port to the winery, great scenery on the way and amazing guide who explained lots about the area. I loved that TUI decided to use a small, local winery, rather than one from a large company, it was great to see how it is produced and take part in the tasting.

Celebrity excursion was excellent

It was so hot and not a lot to do
