I’ll be back Sicily! - Great experience in short amount of time in Sicily. Places are beautiful, it’s a must see. I wish there’s a little more history about each place. Overall, I would recommend to friends and family.

Amazing time with Francesco - We were fortunate to have Francesco and Ili from GetinSicily as our guides during our one-day excursion in Sicily. Both were attentive to our needs throughout the trip, always listening and highly professional. Their passion for their country was truly palpable and made every stop even more vivid and enriching. They made sure we didn’t miss the local specialties — cannoli and vanilla wine — by stopping at a lovely restaurant called Bar Turrisi in Castelmola. They answered all of our questions—whether cultural, historical, or practical—with precision and enthusiasm. Time management was exemplary, ensuring that we made the most of each site without stress or rush, which is extremely important for us to get back to the cruise on time. We highly recommend GetinSicily to anyone looking to discover Sicily in an authentic, enriching, and well-organized way.

Friendly, professional, and courteous driver for the day from Messina to Taormina - We had a great experience with our driver, Francisco. The vehicle was clean and well maintained. Francisco created us with our name on a sign at the port and took us directly to Taormina. He was friendly and courteous as well as knowledgeable about the area. After our day in Taormina he took us to a terrific photo stop overlooking Isola Bella.
