Christian did an awesome job. He changed up our itinerary to get the most out our tour. His knowledge of the area and the history was incredible. A great tour

Wonderful Day Trip with Umberto

Stephen_L, Apr 2025
Umberto was our guide/driver. He spent every minute accomanying us at Monreale and Cefalu. Both towns are worth seeing. Had a great lunch in Cefalu. Umberto discovered that we were interested in Sicilian ceramics and took us to master ceramist' studio and factory where we met the owner and his family and given an impromptu tour of their process. This was totally off the books but appreciated by us.

Our driver Gaspere was great. Was at our service and made us visit exactly what we wanted. He gave us a good recommendation for the restaurant by the sea. And explained the history while driving
