From Castle to Sea – An Epic Day I’ll Never Forget

5.00What started as a booking mistake turned into one of the most unforgettable days of my 4-week trip through Italy. I accidentally booked the “Castle to Sea” quad tour not realizing it was in Ribera, on the opposite coast from where I was staying in Palermo. I reached out to cancel, and Vincenzo reassured me that if I made the 2-hour trip, they’d pick me up from the bus stop (more like a post in the middle of nowhere!) and promised I’d have fun. I took the chance—and I’m so glad I did. Angela picked me up with a warm smile and brought me to the shop to meet the others. Out of the three couples who had signed up, only one couple showed. It ended up being just me (an English speaker), a German couple (the wife spoke some Italian), and Vincenzo and Angela, who only speak Italian. Here’s the amazing part: Vincenzo used a translator gadget from Amazon so we could communicate all day. He’d speak into it and it would translate aloud into English, and I’d speak into it to translate into Italian. It worked beautifully—and added to the laughs and fun. Language wasn’t a barrier at all. The tour itself was incredible. From the ancient castle to the stunning coastal ride, every part of the journey was breathtaking. Vincenzo and Angela were incredibly knowledgeable, safety-conscious, and radiated joy. It was like riding with friends who love their land and want you to fall in love with it too. Their energy was infectious. To catch the 7 PM bus back to Palermo, I would have had to leave the tour in the middle—but at that point, it was no longer an option. I wasn’t going to miss a second. I chose to stay, and Vincenzo kindly arranged a room for me at a friend’s nearby hotel. Angela even took me to pick up pajamas, clothes for the next day, and toiletries. We ended the night with dinner at a little local restaurant attached to the hotel, and I swear it was the best pizza I’ve had in my life. We laughed, shared stories, and by the end of it all, I didn’t just have a great tour—I gained a Sicilian family. We still keep in touch. If you're looking for an experience that's authentic, adventurous, full of heart, and beyond any guidebook recommendation—this is it. Even if you're not fluent in Italian, don’t worry—what matters most translates perfectly.
Great fun!
