CruiserCar Tour, 1 To 6 Hours

CruiserCar Tour, 1 to 6 Hours, 1 to 6 hours (approx.), rated 4.8 across 200 traveller reviews.

Overview

Palermo has an open-top touring car that seats up to nine, and this ride puts a private group in it with a licensed chauffeur and a Cicerone, a guide who narrates the city as you go. The CruiserCar is billed as the first nine-seater cabriolet in the world, and touring in it means unobstructed views of the streets without the walking. Trips run from one to six hours, roughly, and only one tour runs per session, so the vehicle is yours alone for the slot you book.

The tour is designed around the Historical Center and a panoramic drive up Mount Pellegrino, with stops the guide chooses along the way.

The tour is private, wheelchair and pushchair accessible, and open to customisation. It suits anyone who wants Palermo's history delivered from a comfortable seat rather than on foot. Bottled water, soft drinks, snacks, prosecco and beer are carried on board, and WiFi is available during the drive.

What To Expect From The Tour

Here is what the ride is actually like, based on the listing and on what travellers have reported after taking it.

• Open-air comfort. The car is an open-top cabriolet, so it can get warm in the sun.
• Food and drink. Snacks, bottled water, soft drinks, prosecco and beer are included on board. Multiple reviewers singled out the drinks and snacks as a nice touch.
• Guide and driver. A Cicerone guides the tour while a licensed chauffeur drives. Reviewers across many bookings praised both roles, so expect a two-person team rather than a driver only.
• Customisable pace. The listing says the tour can be customised. Reviewers mention stops they would not have prioritised on their own, so ask for the places you care about at the start.
• Timing and traffic. One reviewer booked an afternoon slot and sat in city traffic for a stretch, so factor traffic into how much ground a shorter booking can realistically cover.
• Accessibility. The listing states the vehicle and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, pushchair accessible, and that infant seats are available. Service animals are allowed too.

Common issues. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers, and if that minimum is not met it can be cancelled, with a different date or a full refund offered. One reviewer described a late-night cancellation the day before due to overbooking, which left no time to rearrange. Another reported a pickup point changed after payment and paid substantially extra to reach the new meeting point.
