5.00My tour guide Anna was phenomenal. She walked us through the high points of Sicily and provided credible recommendations for local cuisine and took us to places that provided samples of the great tastes of the area…pastries, almond wine and limoncello! She was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the region. Her kind and gentle spirit made it easy to ask questions. I’d highly recommend this tour!

5.00Our first time in Sicily and we were not sure what to do. Friends suggested taking a tour outside of the city to truly see all that Sicily had to offer. We were glad we did. The small bus easily took us to Savoca and then onto Taormina. Our tour guide was very personable and offered a lot of information about both of our sites. It really helped us to learn about the rich history that Sicily has. In Taormina, he offered some really good suggestions for things to see and places to eat. The tour was a good mix of free time and guided time where we learned about the different cities. We were picked up right at the port and returned back in the time that they promised. A great way to see some famous sites in Sicily and learn about the culture and the history of the island.
Beautiful
