    The trip went well. The driver was competent and friendly. The guide was excited and superficial. The lunch was a pasta that was not very tasty The rest went well.

  • Guide was a waste of time

    We were given a driver and a guide. The tour took us to the places mentioned in the description. The guide Giovanni did absolutely nothing. Used his phone and google maps to get to a restaurant and that was about it. No explanation of anything. If it was just a driver it would have been the same tour. He was pleasant and friendly but useless. I guess your tour depends on who “guides” it since it is not technically a guided tour.

    We went my husband and I to do this tour, thinking that the guide was included to explain us, instead in Segesta you have to make a ticket of 18 euros including a shuttle that takes you to the top and we get it because after an hour and a half you have to leave and without anyone to explain. Ditto for the salt pans of drills and Erice the guide is simply the driver who accompanies you with the vehicle give you a couple of hours per site, you turn it around freely and at 16 you are back to Palermo. We understood that we had an Italian-language guide for the whole tour, but it is not so there is only one driver

    The trip was well organized. Lorenzo, trilingual guide (eng, ita, spa) was so kind and helpful. Segesta, Erice and Trapani salt mines - we got what we expected. A strong recommendation!

    We actually did a lot of touring of Sicily and what an amazing tour it was. Tours of Sicily ensured that from beginning to end we were well taken care of. All drivers were excellent, kind and thoughtful and we thank them for going that extra ‘mile’ for us. The weather was hot during July but drivers all kept the air con running so that we could cool off. Tours of Sicily organised our ‘boutique’ hotels all excellent and our visits to places of interest covered all we had thought of and more. We highly recommend this company, the cost was not that much more than if we had arranged everything ourselves, something when visiting for the first time is difficult to do. We also felt that driving around the towns Palermo and Saracous and Taormina would have make the holiday difficult regarding parking, one way streets etc. This tour made the visit to Sicily enjoyable and easy. We want to go back and do it all again. Thank you

  • Wonderful experience

    This was a perfect way to do a trip we went with another couple every day. The drivers were excellent on time cooperative always there to make us happy on the day.s That meals were included they were excellent. I really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it. The two things that I would change is I think they should have water on the vehicle every day so that we didn’t have to stop and buy our own, I also think on the last night when we were in Syracuse and we had to be taken an hour drive to Catania to catch our plane to home Since we were Taormina and that is closer to Catania, we could’ve spent the night in Catania instead of going all the way for one night so it wouldn’t be so much driving back-and-forth and we could enjoy the city of Catania for dinner that Night I think this is a perfect way to do this type of tour and I highly recommend this company I would do it with this company again Without any hesitation!!

  • Grazie mille Nicola e Giacomo!
