There are multiple guides who work this tour on any one day, it's very popular. The guide I had was Salvatore, he called himself Salvo. This guy was amazing!! He is so passionate about the subject have grown up in Palermo during the crisis era of the mafia. For him this is not a job, it's truly important for him to share his knowledge and educate others about this horrible organization called the Cosa Nostra.
