Begin your journey with a warm welcome from your English-speaking guide, who will lead you on a scenic drive to the breathtaking Monte Pellegrino, a nature reserve just 30 minutes from Palermo. This majestic mountain, embraced by the Mediterranean Sea, offers one of the most iconic natural landscapes in Sicily. Locals often escape here for peaceful hikes and spiritual reflection.

Atop Monte Pellegrino sits the revered Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia, Palermo’s beloved patron saint. As you explore this sacred site, you’ll gain insight into the deep religious and cultural traditions of the area while enjoying sweeping views over the city and coastline.

Next, continue your adventure to the charming seaside village of Mondello, nestled between Monte Pellegrino and Monte Gallo. Once a quaint fishing village, Mondello is now a sought-after beach destination known for its soft sands and turquoise waters. Stroll along the shore, take in the Art Nouveau architecture, and experience the tranquil contrast between Palermo’s urban energy and this coastal paradise.

Whether you're drawn by spiritual heritage, natural beauty, or a bit of both, this tour offers an unforgettable taste of Sicily’s diverse character.
