There is only the transportation to Cefalu and Monreale, because the driver is not a guide ... so the tourists are left on their own ...
We enjoyed the tour- however there was a lack of guidance/tour that suggested what to do once you arrived to these places. They drop you off and tell you to meet back in 4 hours. The transportation itself was on time/comfortable. However that is all you are paying for is the transportation.
A great experience! We toured the cathedral and loved exploring Cefalu!!! Luca, our guide was so kind, easy to understand, and flexible. It was pouring rain during the day we went, but we still enjoyed our time and were so thankful to Luca for allowing us the opportunity to see the beautiful towns of Sicily.
