Description

The Teatro Massimo, the open-air market "Il Capo", Piazza della Memoria, Piazza Beati Paoli, the Cathedral, the City Hall, Piazza Magione: every stop is a cause for reflection, a chance to mull over the realities of the Mafia and consider the civic movement against Mafioso power.

Along the Cassaro, you will come across an orange sticker on their windows. Their owners have said NO to paying the extortion racket, or 'pizzo', and have joined the mafia-free critical consumption campaign promoted by the grassroots movement Addiopizzo.

The tour ends in Piazza Pretoria, in front of the City Hall. Here you will have the opportunity to discover some curiosities about how over the course of years the Mafia has related to politics.

Amazing tour!

We didn't feel the time passing by, we were having a great time. Our guide was a Palermo local with great knowledge of the topic.

A highly interesting tour!!!

This tour was led by a Palermo native and was packed with interesting information. Anyone who wants to learn more about the Mafia—and the anti-Mafia movement in particular—has come to the right place. Highly recommended!

No mafia walking tour Palermo

This was a really informative tour with a guide who told us everything about the background to the Mafia reign in Palermo and the fight back from the judiciary and the local people.

A highlight in our Sicily trip

We had a very interesting tour. Valeria was a very good guide, not only an expert in this topic, but you could also feel her personal involvement. The whole group was moved hearing how simple people stood up against that criminal organisation. Definitely a highlight in our Sicily trip, thank you Valeria!
