A 3-hour walk through Palermo’s old center that explains Mafia power and the civic anti-Mafia movement, with stops like Teatro Massimo.
“I highly recommend this tour. Naturally, being raised on American movies we are fed an image of the mafia that is glamorous and glorified. This tour gives a true image: how harmful and horrible their presence is, and how any kind of societal change can never come only from the ones on top but must come from the grassroots, from citizens themselves. Very educational for those who are seeking to learn more about the reality of the terrible events caused by the mafia in Sicily throughout the years.”

With her gentle voice and warm presence, she brought dark stories to life in the most touching and respectful way. It was chilling, emotional, and strangely comforting at the same time. By the end, I felt more moved than scared. Thank you, Maham, for making this experience unforgettable. Highly recommended. 🖤👻🇬🇷🇮🇹”
