    Our tour guide Anna and the bus driver were very, very nice and cordial throughout the entire experience. Anna was very informed about her country, culture and rich history of Sicily. She is very passionate about being a tour guide and it bubbles from the inside and out to whoever is listening. We covered as much territory as 5 hours would allow since we needed to be back to the ship by 3 PM. From Messina to the sight where the famous God Father movie was filmed and the many shopping opportunities along the narrow streets of Taormina. And let’s not forget the hill side terrain of Sicily. This was an appetizer tour and we’ll have to come back when we have at least a week to hang .was a appetizer tour and we’ll have to come back when we have at least a week to fully experience, Thanks again, Anna for a wonderful experience. It was short but sweet. !!!

    Our guide and driver were both excellent. The guide took exceptional care of everyone on the tour. I would recommend Anna Fazio to everyone interested in an exceptional, one of a kind, tour experience! We all enjoyed her company so much, that we invited her to have lunch with us so that we could learn more of the local culture. Her experiences and knowledge were exciting and awesome to share!

    We were grouped with 2 other couples, our guide Marco was able to easily meet everyone's needs. He was informative, casual, and flexible. The pace was very good and we covered several areas with appropriate time in each. Our driver was excellent as well. Having the driver allowed Marco to focus on the tour instead of traffic.

    If at all possible, ask for Anna as your guide. We were warmly greeted by Anna. So engaging and personable - a lovely and incredibly knowledgeable local. Anna announced: "I know everyone" and she made several phone calls during the day to ensure our tour was even more special. She showed us Castelmola, and the towns of Taormina and Messina. Lunch was at one of her favorite places in Taormina which she phoned to ask if they would keep the kitchen open for us - and they did. ( A benefit of "knowing everyone".) It was a "set tour" but with many extra stops and visits along the way added by Anna. Overall, a delightful and memorable introduction to Sicily for our group!
