The best part of the tour...

2.00The best part of the tour was the driver, who was attentive and funny- otherwise this is an overpriced car ride to three spots where you are dropped off to roam around and picked up- the worst part is the organizer who does not communicate any details with you leaving you hoping that the tour will happen on time- unlike other tours we have taken where all details are shared in advance. Regarding the three spots- nothing much in Monreale or Castelbuono- in fact they drop you off in Monreale before anything opens and you are left sitting around waiting for 45 mins. If we had known the nature of this expensive tour, we would have just not done it.
Beautiful Cefalu

5.00This was one of our greatest tours. Our driver was Dario. He was very professional, super punctual and very knowledgeable!!!! We had a very pleasant drive with him. We are absolutely obsessed with Cefalu. It had a very beautiful church and magnificent panoramic view. Dario also recommended us a very nice restaurant with the view to the see, Kentia in Cefalu. I need to tell I had the tastiest fish I have ever had in my life. If you are ever in Palermo, I highly recommend to take this tour!!!!

3.00I felt very disappointed with the experience at first. It's not a tour but merely transportation. However, the private drive allowed me to explore the city at my own pace, uncovering hidden gems and enjoying the freedom to delve into each location more deeply.n gems independently. Have a lunch at the beautiful place facing the water. I bet you can drive Uber to that location for less money
Beautiful Experience in Monreale

5.00The cathedral in Montreale is breathtaking. We could have stayed and taken it in for hours. The seaside town of Cefalù is beautiful. Had a wonderful lunch overlooking the sea.
