    About the ride

    Dive into one of Sicily’s most storied and complex chapters with this private day trip from Palermo to Corleone and the scenic Royal Palace of Ficuzza. Travel with a professional English-speaking driver in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle equipped with Wi-Fi and bottled water, and explore the land behind the legends—where beauty, history, and truth come together.

    - Fully Customizable & Private – Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

    - Pickup and dropoff from a professional English-Speaking driver.

    Your first stop is the 2Corleone City, internationally known through cinema, yet deeply rooted in real-life history. Beyond the Hollywood myth lies a town with a powerful past and a strong voice for change. You’ll visit the CIDMA – Anti-Mafia Museum, where guided exhibits detail the rise of the Sicilian Mafia and the courageous efforts of judges, journalists, and citizens who stood against it. It’s an eye-opening and moving experience that provides insight into the darker side of Sicily’s past—and its fight for a brighter future.

    After your visit to Corleone, continue to the peaceful Ficuzza and the 3Royal Palace , once the hunting retreat of King Ferdinand III of Bourbon. Surrounded by a natural forest reserve, the palace and its grounds offer a tranquil contrast to the intensity of Corleone’s story. Enjoy a stroll through the village of Ficuzza, admire the architecture, and soak in the calm of Sicily’s countryside.

    At the end of your journey, your driver will take you back to Palermo, giving you time to reflect on a day filled with powerful stories, striking contrasts, and a deeper understanding of Sicily’s layered identity.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at [email protected] for any specific questions regarding your booking.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Any cancelation that is requested up to 24 hours prior to the operation time is entitled to a refund of 80%  

    In case of cancellation in less than 24 hours prior to the operation time or in case of no-show of the customer, you are not eligible for any form of refund. 

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Do I need to be in a good physical shape?

    The drivers are trained to adapt the experience depending on the type of participants. Whether you have kids or elders participating, the drivers know exactly how to handle special requests and provide an enjoyable experience accordingly. The most physically demanding site would be climbing the Acropolis, so make sure you bring plenty of water with you on the way up!

     

    Useful tips

    Summer Essentials

    In the summer months, the sun is especially strong (even on cloudy days) so we recommend that you wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself. Also, be sure to drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

    Local Currency

    We recommend you always keep local currency on you (euro) as many local merchants do not accept cards as payment.
