Sicily (Palermo), Italy

Can anyone suggest a good private tour guide for Sicily (Palermo), Italy. We are there from 7 am to 2 pm. Or is there something else to suggest since we are only there for a limited time.

We were there last month on the Emerald Princess. We had some onboard credit to use up so took the ship's excursion to Cefalu. It was billed as a walking tour but actually was Cefalu on our own. The guide walked us from the bus (had to park in a lot outside town) and showed us the cathedral in the main piazza, then turned us loose. We had a great day there. It's an historic town and absolutely beautiful resort with a very nice beach. If you can find a driver both ways, (about an hour away from Palermo) you could go privately, but honestly, the ship's excursion was a bargain for the great day we had there.

PS. The specialty gelato is served in a brioche. And the local beer is not bad either.

I used aroundsicily.com and was very happy with them. They are flexible and will arrange the tour to suit your needs and time frame.
