Immersion into Italian culture - Ciccio picked us up and was timely. He was extremely helpful with elderly moms and walkers. Very kind, respectful; very informative. Ciccio went above and beyond to immerse us into the culture of Italy and to show us all the beauty in Italy. We enjoyed local meal and he went out of his way to get us fresh cannolis. We felt our group of 6 acquired a new friend. We highly recommend him to others.

Fun tour with Santino Pelligrino! - An unplanned tour with Santino Pelligrino! What a guy. Met us at the port in Messina as we got off our cruise. Very personable. He gave us a fair deal on a transport/ tour to Toarmina. Took us to beautiful overlooks, shared generational information about Sicily. Playlist included Sinatra to Boy George to Whitney and everything in between. He sang along to all of them and encouraged us to do the same, and we did; LOL! He allowed us plenty of shopping and walk about time. Met us promptly at our agreed pick up point and delivered us to the ship with plenty of time to spare. A highlight of our 8 day cruise!

Awesome tour around the highlights of Sicily (Taormina, Savoca, Messina) - Our cruise included a stop at the port of Messina, and we had a fantastic time with this tour. Our tour guide and driver, GianFranco, was so friendly and kind! He was very accommodating for my elderly parents (helping them on/off the van, drop off/pick up at easy to reach locations) and even brought us a tasty pastry that is famous in Sicily! This tour overall was very relaxing, the amount of time at each stop was perfect, and the sights were amazing. Taormina especially was so beautiful. Overall, we definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a solid tour with the highlights of Sicily!

The Godfather tour - This was a nice tour but the reason I would not recommend is that it was listed as private. There were six of us plus 8 in another group with us. Their confirmation also listed it as private for their 8. They were nice and it wasn't a big deal but if I had recommended this to clients and it ended up being small group instead of private, they would not have been happy.
