Fabulous - Fabulous experience! They treat the customer with great care, distributing water and tasting typical Sicilian products such as cannoli and granita. Definitely to be redone!

Highly recommend this company for a private tour of Sicily. - We had the best day with Oleksandra on a private tour of Castlemola and Taormina. She gave us great insight into the history of Sicily and showed us all the best spots including tasting all the culinary delights of Sicily. Would highly recommend this company and tour.

Wonderful tour! - We chose Angelo for a day tour once off the cruise ship. Fantastic day and maximum availability and kindness. Angelo is a very prepared driver, with a unique availability and kindness. he took us to different panoramic points for fantastic photos, accompanied us to Taormina and then left available even a couple of hours to swim in a wonderful beach bringing for us also deckchairs and umbrellas. Always at our disposal he also acted as a guide telling us wonderful anecdotes of his land. On board always fresh water for everyone. To close the day he accompanied us to eat the REAL Sicilian granita, pure show!.. to those who choose to visit Messina and its surroundings I highly recommend doing it with him, he made us feel welcome immediately. Thank you Angelo!

BEAUTIFUL SICILY - Sicily one the most quaint & beautiful places in Italy. We would gladly return and have Angelo, Michelle & Aurora show us more. From the quaint towns to delish cannoli, chocolate shops, views of Mt Etna to amazing Aranchini what a wonderful day that went to fast. The pick-up & drop-off was right next to the Cruise ship. The van was clean & air-conditioned with bottles of water. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful Sicily, teaching us to eat like a Sicilian & use correct italian grammar.
