Okay for giving overview of Palermo, but bus did not stick to route ( probably because of traffic) and rarely stopped, so not much chance to hop off and possibly not much chance to hop back on again. Also be aware that ticket covers lines A and B, Monreale is on line C so NOT included in the price.

The excursion is excellent. The technical condition of the audio accompaniment is very bad. The headphone outputs do not work. You have to look for a working one all over the bus.

No signage for their bus stop as you find in other major cities in Europe. It was 33 degrees plus in middle of day and it would have been nice if the bus driver had pulled the canopy over!! Prepare to be stuck in Palermo traffic….don’t do if you are in an hurry and have somewhere else to be! Other than that, it’s the best way to get your bearings of the historical city and then decide what areas and sites who want to return to.
