As night falls, journey into the heart of Palermo on this one-of-a-kind tour. Through haunting Sicilian music and masterful storytelling, hear tales of resilience, love, sacrifice, mystery, and vigilante justice from the shadows.
An Immersive Performance, Not a History Lesson
A master storyteller guides you through the historic center’s iconic monuments, revealing the layered myths and truths of this ancient city. You'll hear a tragic ghost storey, the legend of the Beati Paoli, the saga of a real poisonous murderess, and about the rise of a homegrown miraculous saint. At every turn, a professional Sicilian singer in traditional costume brings these stories to life, performing brilliant traditional songs in Sicilian and English—some funny, some heartbreaking, all beautiful.
