Great guide and tour company - Amazing experience with this tour company and Maririta as our tour guide! We had a rainy day to visit Taromino but she made our experience informative and interesting.

Superior tour guide - This was our first time in Sicily, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Sara as our tour guide. She was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely cared about providing detailed information while answering all of our questions. Her passion made the experience even more memorable. If I could give her six stars, I absolutely would. I highly recommend Sara to anyone visiting!

Perfect stress-free tour for cruisers! - This was a phenomenal tour to Taormina and Castelmola, both cities were beautiful. If I had to choose, I would love to visit Castelmola again, it had so much charm! Our guide Claudio was great and gave us solid recommendations for sights and where to eat. Our favorite meal of the Italy trip was a restaurant he recommended in Taormina. Antonicca (hope I spelled that correctly) was our driver and skillfully got us up the winding roads. I definitely recommend this tour if you want a stress-free excursion!

Excellent value and service provided...highly recommend - Great experience...Katia and Guissepe were excellent, informed and clearly proud of Sicily. Provided clear information and verbal tidbits as we went along. Katia was chatty and helpful as we asked about many aspects of Sicily. Guissepe drove calmly and safely and got us back to the World Europa in good time. Privided good advice on a restaurant and a local fragrance shop. Shout out to Alex and Irina (intern and in training) who came with our group. Fully recommended this company...you will not find better

Nice tour. Beautiful cities - Great organized tour. Cities were exceptional and not to be missed. Was a long bus ride to the cities. But worth it. Margarita was fun and did a great job!

Felt and saw the local color…but needed more guidance - Loved Castelmora. Really felt the culture, not just the commercialism. Would have liked the option of maybe a short guide in Taormina before free time.
