Sicily tour with Angelo - Loved our tour led by Angelo and Alexzandra. Not only did they take us sightseeing but also took us to a couple of places to introduce us to some of local foods of Sicily. This tour was one of the ɓest we're ever taken in all the years we've been traveling. They were friendly that when we left them it was like saying goodbye to family members. Highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous tour for the money. Worth every penny! - The tour with Angelo, and Alexandra as the guide, was simply terrific! Worth every penny. A solid 8 hour tour. There is no way you get all the sites, information and attention to detail if you did this with an excursion from a cruise ship. The value is unmatched and hospitality off the charts. The balance between visiting landmarks and time to explore areas on your own and/or shopping was just right. Even stopped at unique places for traditional Italian snacks/desserts that were included in cost of tour! They treated us like family. A full day but so glad we did the tour through them!

Angelo is 10/10 AMAZING! - Angelo is 10/10 amazing! Funny, friendly and went out of his way to make us all comfortable. He is a genius with the camera too haha The godfather tour did not disappoint. The tour was fabulous, happy tourists from Australia, Slovenia,Italy and Malta made for lots of chit chat and laughter. A large air-conditioned van, cold water, many stops with lots of surprises along the way. Delicious Cannoli, Almond Wine the most yummy Gelato & Brioche in Messina made the day just perfect! Thank you for an amazing day!

Sight seeing and delicious Italian treats and food - Of all my vacations ever, this was the single best day of vacations I have ever had. Angelo brought us to 3 different spots, and did not rush us at all. Yes the views were beautiful but the he made the day feel special for me and my family. Wish we had more then 1 day in Sicily, but we will be going back next year for a few days, and yes Angelo will be showing us the other beautiful spots in and around Sicily.

Unforgettable memories - Guided tour is most efficient way for cruisers visiting Taormina and “God father” scenes. We had a great time with Angelo. He is not only a passionate and reliable tour guide but also a safe driver.
