What are people saying about Sicily

Erika_H, Aug 2026

For cruisers

This was a great trip. The company was very prompt which matters when you’re on a cruise ship ! I was nervous because all our tours were private just my husband and I and this one was a large group but it was great. We had Gabriella as our guide and she was awesome and very knowledgeable! Since we went in August it was hot. A little more so than we expected so bring some extra water and wear comfortable shoes. Loved this tour

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

Linda_D, Aug 2026

Super time

It was a great boat trip. Kids (around 20 yo) had super fun on the float and with the motorized water scooter. Only glitch was he wanted to combine our morning trip with the later sunset cruise, with larger boat. We agreed, and the larger boat was much nicer for 7 people than the smaller one would have been, so it all worked out.

Godfather vs Mafia Tour & Pasta Lunch (Small Group or Private)

Kristyn_C, Aug 2026

Good half day excursion

Being driven around alone was worth it as the views are spectacular. We didn’t really get a background on the mafia but the tour itself was great. Our guide knew his stuff and was a clear fan of the movies. I would recommend to anyone, even those not in love with the Godfather.

Etna Jeep OffRoad Tour: Lava Flows,Etna Wines,Lunch at 6,561 ft

Local Guide with Love of Sicily

Unusual experience…. at first I was like “wait what” and thought maybe this was a mistake as we jumped in this locals Nissan (not Jeep, lol he said that’s just what they call all 4x4) and our first stop was for gas …. but actually this turned out to be an unforgettable day. He loves Sicily and loves the history of Mt Etna and if you want to hear the passion from a local this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Wine tasting at a local vineyard (best wine ever) even eating his homemade bread and jam with the wine, stopping at the lava quarry and lava flows and eating atop Mt Etna were all highlights! We came in on a cruise ship and his pick up spot was just outside the port (we walked and totally easy/doable walk). Overall an experience we won’t forget.

Tour Etna and Wine Tasting

Toni_D, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Experience Enhanced by an Exceptional Guide!

From the very beginning, our guide Lucas set the tone for a fantastic day. First impressions count, and his were stellar. Lucas was exceptionally friendly, right on time, and very welcoming. Being part of a small group made the tour feel intimate and personalised. Lucas was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loved what he did, sharing fascinating insights with genuine enthusiasm that brought the region to life. As for the sights, ‘Mamma Etna’ was wonderful, and the overall experience visiting the volcano was simply great. To top it all off, the lunch at Gambino Winery was a lovely experience. The winery is exceptionally well-run, offering delicious food and great wines paired with stunning views. While the breathtaking scenery made it special, the tour's success was mostly thanks to Lucas. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Must do in Taormina

We had Antonio as our guide and he was fantastic, from the beginning pick up to all the knowledge he had throughout the day. Gambino wines was a lovely wine tasting - very generous! And the beautiful lunch followed after was a perfect way to wrap up the day. If you are a wine fiend this is one to do!

A Great Way to Experience Taormina

We had such a lovely afternoon with Alessandro. He made the history of Taormina and life in Sicily really interesting, sharing lots of local knowledge that you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. The food was delicious, and we especially enjoyed learning about and tasting the local wines at one of the stops. Alessandro was engaging, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his hometown. It was relaxed, informative and a great way to experience the authentic flavours and history of Taormina. We’d definitely recommend this tour.

Gail_G, Jul 2026

Fantastic authentic experience!

This cooking class with Chef Mimmo was an unforgettable part of our trip to Italy. We had so much fun and genuinely learned a new skill - making fresh pasta. The meal our group created together was one of the best we had in our 2 1/2 weeks in Italy. We cooked, we laughed, we ate. What could be better?

Exceptional!!!

The tour is a must do, beyond our expectations!!!! Our drivers met us as we got off the boat. Our guides Patricia and Lorena spoke English clearly, they were incredibly knowledgeable and had us hanging on every detail. The rests for lunch and a snack were at the exact right times and we had enough time and Rome with the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, the Parthenon and all the history need to be experienced to be fully appreciated. An incredible overall tour.

Palermo Historic Center Catacombs and Monreale CruiserCar Tour

MariaB_D, Jul 2026

The Best Way to Explore Palermo

My family of 9 members had two Cruise Cars take us around Palermo and Monreale! The Cruise Cars picked us up at our hotel. Each car had a driver, a guide and a cooler filled with ice cold drinks and snacks! The cars were also equipped with a speaker so we had our own music connected by blue tooth. The cars were new and spotless! It was the beginning of the hot summer days so we enjoyed the cool breeze as we drove around Palermo. We visited the Capuchin Catacombs then drove to Monreale to visit the most stunning Cathedral. The sun was directly above us so our guide pulled the cover of the cruise cars to make our drive back to Palermo a comfortable one. All in all, this experience made our first day in Palermo an unforgettable experience! My family is grateful to our wonderful drivers who drove us safely and comfortably and to our guides who welcomed us warmly and gave us so much needed information about Palermo! We felt their pride and love for Palermo! Highly recommended for family, friends, couples even solo travelers!

Half Day Private Guided Boat Tour in Taormina

Joe_D, Jun 2026

Claudio was amazing! ...

Claudio was amazing! My fiancé and I went out on a private tour and loved it. Multiple stops for swimming, toasting a glass of local prosecco or wine, and wonderful chats about local spots to eat and cultures. We would both highly recommend him as a tour guide if you are looking for a personable guide to show you the sights and a good time!
