    This was an enjoyable tour. Sabrina was knowledgeable. It was difficult to understand everything because she had a thick accent. Otherwise we had a great tour and saw many beautiful sights,

  • Gabriella is the BEST tour guide ever!

    Lots of walking yet worth every penny as wll as every step! The bus driver handled the crazy narrow mountain roads with ease. From the moment we approached this group of guides when we got off of our ship, the first thing we noticed was that every employee was smiling genuinely. They absolutely love their job.And it shows. Gabriella was our guide, her English was impeccable and her knowledge about the island of Sicily, the city of Messina, Castlemola, and Taormina was endless. She welcomed questions and encouraged exploration while making sure to point out anything that we absolutely should not miss as well as understanding its significance. We took many tours during our sixteen days in Europe, and this was by far the best tour we had. Thank you, Gabriella!!

  • Amazing Guide!
