Great tour around Sicily...

Callie_M, Jul 2026

Great tour around Sicily on our cruise stop! Isabel was friendly and informative. We enjoyed all the stops.

Private tour of Savoca, Castlemola and Taromina

HelenSanj_A, Jun 2026

The tour was great. Our guide Isabella was wonderful and she was knowledgeable about the sites. She stayed with us the entire time and even had lunch with us at an amazing restaurant in Taromina. Our driver was great as well both of them were so accommodating, very easy and laid back. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour....

This was a great tour. Our guide, Paria, was amazing. The first stop at Bar Vitelli was such a cool experience for those loving the Godfather movies. Taormina exceeded our expectations as we have never been to this beautiful city. Lunch at Mama Rosa’s was so delicious. Just a spectacular excursion. Highly recommended. It was a family favorite for our summer trip.

Great tour!

What a great day with Hana & Fulvio in Sicily!!

Lynda_P, Jun 2025

Definitely do this tour!! 1st and foremost, if you can, have Hana as your tour guide and Fulvio for your driver-- They were AMAZING!!! Seeing the Bar Vitelli and the St Lucia's church from the Godfather was awesome...let alone the amazing view from way up in Savoca! Even took the lil "taxi" tuktuk up to the church!! Castelmola was beautiful-- ruined castle, beautiful streets and all the great views -- as well as Mt Etna in the background!! Hana & Fulvio surprised us with a cannoli and shot of delicious almond wine at a very fun cafe in Castelmola called Turrisi (look it up! It will surprise you!) Taormina was fabulous too! Had a great lunch at Mamma Rosa, saw a few more churches and shopped- including at a great chocolate store called Ninos & Friends. Then back in Messina Hana & Fulvio gave us a tour of the cathedral and the really cool astrological clock. It was a fun, beautiful and very informative day spent with old friends and new ones, Hana & Fulvio!! Thank you!!!

Very fun Day in Sicily!

Immersed in Sicily

gary_l, Oct 2024

We had a wonderful time on this tour and Paria brought Silicy alive for us. She was very thoughtful and responsive to our desires and is a honest and thoughtful person. Alberto was a wonderful driver and we felt safe and cared for even when driving on narrow, twisting mountain roads. Paria has a great understanding of culture and history and is very ani.ated , drawing us into life in Sicily. A wonderful day!
