I was disappointed with this tour because I felt all we had was a driver and not a tour guide. When we arrived at each location I didn't know where we were, or what was to happen. Very poor communication and at times his driving was dangerous. The tour was fine it just depends on who you get as a driver / tour guide that can make it a great day or not so great .... on this occasion not so great.
Excellent tour! Simone was a terrific guide - energetic, informative, friendly and very engaging! We had a great time seeing the sights, but also his enthusiasm and music selections made the driving and the sights even more enjoyable!
Giuseppe made this trip for us. The trip itself is very straightforward. Everything is as promised. You get to see this beautiful historical area. It was great as a cruise excursion. Giuseppe was on time, punctual the entire trip, very friendly and provided excellent service. I would recommend this to any Cruise goer.
We had a great guide and the food was amazing in Taormina! Carmelo was a great guide on our journey and to all things of Sicily! Loved the small group experience in English.
It was fantastic! We enjoyed thoroughly! Runs, our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. We loved her and all the trip.
I do recommend this trip. Castelmola was great, amazing views and fairly quiet in the morning. Taormina was absolutely beautiful and vibrant. The amphitheatre is a must see and the views from their cafe was spectacular. It was very busy walking through but it didn't put us off. The stop at Naxos atvthe start of the day was nice but I would have preferred longer in Taormina instead. Thomas the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and he was brilliant.
It was a nice trip with a perfect quad tour on the Etna. Our guide Salvo was great, he showed us the importance of the vulcano for the region!
Beautiful town with fantastic views over the coastline and Mount Etna. The historic center is full of charming streets, small shops, and cafés. You can easily explore the highlights in half a day, but it’s also a lovely place to linger if you want to relax and soak in the atmosphere.
We’ve got the best tour guide Lory, she shown us many beautiful places, and told very interesting facts about the places and history. Lory was very kind, she helped us a lot with food, as my daughter is celiac it can get quite hard. It was truly amazing experience. If you get Lory as your guide you know you're in good hands 🤎
Everything worked out perfectly! Even German-speaking WhatsApp contact shortly before pick-up.. so you felt like home in Sicily! Thanks to the very nice guide Enzo. "E" explained and told us everything, even in English, depending on how it was desired. There were also only five of us, so the trip was very individual and all wishes could be taken into account. The 3 cities are all absolutely worth seeing, especially Taormina was the absolute highlight!! There Enzo even drove us to the hotel, where the 2. Season was filmed by the Netflix series White Lotus and afterwards showed us the associated, dreamlike beautiful bay. So that's all you can do! Again a big praise to Enzo and thank you for this great and unforgettable beautiful trip to the most beautiful places of Sicily!!!
