Fabulous tour of Sicily! - Hi Angelo! We had a wonderful time today! Oleksandra (aka Sasha) was very knowledgeable and personable. We really appreciated all the group photos she took for us. We enjoyed the sites, the pace of the tour, food (arancini, focaccia, limoncello) and all of today’s experiences. Sicily is beautiful. Thank you so much for a wonderful tour! Grazie! -Terri

Fantastic Family Private Tour - Highly recommend this tour! Angelo met us at the gate right outside the cruise ship and introduced us to Silvia our tour guide, who was fantastic. Our family of 9 was very comfortable in the private bus handily traversing Taormina, Castelmola, and Messina!! Silvia rearranged the schedule to best suit our needs!! We thoroughly enjoyed the shopping in Taormina and wish that we had several days to explore this beautiful historical town. Silvia guided us for much of the tour and we appreciated her knowledge and sweet personality. The almond wine and cannoli tasting in Castelmola was both delicious and most enjoyable. The pictures with Mount Etna and the view from the mountain top was spectacular! We ended the trip with the Duomo Cathedral and granita tasting!!

Amazing - The whole day was amazing Angelo and his English speaking tour guide were very knowledgeable about the area. The small touches that he added to day made it even more memorable. Will definitely be using the company again in the near future. Thank you so much Angelo

Messina wonderful!!!! Thanks to Angelo - We were lucky enough to go on a field trip with Angelo and I can only say... wonderful! From the first moment he was super attentive, friendly and always with a smile. He didn’t put any glue on any change of plans, on the contrary, he gladly adapted! In addition, it had the detail of inviting us to try typical local food, which we did not expect and which made us feel even more welcome. His way of running the group, explaining things and making everything more enjoyable, made a difference. Thank you, Angelo, for making this day such a special experience. We would repeat with you without hesitation!

Fantastic Experience - I want to highlight especially how good a guide Angelo has been, not only has he made us a fantastic tour but he has taken us to taste typical food of the area, besides we traveled with children and tb we were on the beach, always with a smile and without rush waiting for our times, I loved it I recommend 1000 × 1000 , I do not think you can visit the island with a better guide , thank you very much for everything.
