Great day out. - Pick ups were prompt and organised. Danielo gave us a very comprehensive history lesson of Crete on the way to Savoca.
The explanations of the sites visited was also very good.
Ample time at each site to see and visit. Lunch at Castelmola was good.

Wonderful day exploring 3 cities - Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Communication with the vendor was excellent. Our guide, Andrew, was prompt, informative, knowledgeable and a great driver! A word to the wise: there is a lot of walking up steep hills.

Great day! - Great all-day tour. We started in the lovely village of Savoca (where Coppola filmed The Godfather), then went to Castelmola where after seeing the castle ruins we had a great included lunch and sample of almond wine, and finished the day in beautiful Taormina. Antonio, our driver with Sicily Day By Day Tours, was the best!

Our small group of 8... - Our small group of 8 visited three locations near Catania by van. Our driver and guide, Diego, was personable and knowledgeable. The van was noisy inside and Diego should have used a portable microphone to communicate better to all passengers, especially those in the back seats. The pasta and wine lunch was average. The trip was not rushed and we had adequate time at all locations.

Tour guide uncaring - There are winding roads to get to the 3 locations. Tour guide was driving too fast through the winding curves of the road. One member of the group got sick and threw up. Tour guide did not stop the car or offer to help when the car arrived at the destination. Then, he left us and did not join us for lunch. Left us outside in the rain while he ate inside. Only provided us 1 hour and 50 minutes in Taormina rather than the full 2 hours, which made it harder to sight see in enough time. Those 10 minutes (or more) would have been useful and desired.
