A great opportunity to get away from The city and see a beautiful church and historic temple. Vincenzo was a good driver and had helpful and friendly advice.
The great trip to Monreale and Segesta. Vincenzo was our driver. In addition he was our tour guide with interesting information. I would recommend him as a guide.
Thank you very much for your kind review! 😊 We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Monreale and Segesta and that Vincenzo helped make your day even more special with his driving and the information he shared along the way. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we will be very happy to pass your lovely words on to Vincenzo. We hope to welcome you back to Sicily again soon for another unforgettable experience! ☀️🚐✨
Francesco was punctual, friendly, spoke good English and was a safe driver. We didn't want a big group tour - this was perfect for us as we could visit Monreale and Segesta at our own pace. A bonus was the 9am pick-up - that meant we got Monreale very soon after it opened and before all the many guided tours arrived. Francesco took us on the scenic (winding!) route to Segesta, which gave us gorgeous views of the landscape, returning via the speedier autostrada. If you want to explore these sites independently but not have to worry about how to get there and back, this trip is perfect. Both sites were magnificent too. A great day out from Palermo!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly pleased to hear that your experience with Francesco met your expectations. His punctuality, friendly attitude, and ability to communicate in English are qualities we highly value, and we’re glad they contributed to making your day enjoyable and stress-free. It’s great to know that the small group format allowed you to explore Monreale and Segesta at your own pace, exactly as intended. We also appreciate you highlighting the early pick-up time — visiting Monreale before the larger crowds arrive can really enhance the experience. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the scenic drive to Segesta as well as the comfortable return via the highway, offering a perfect balance between beautiful views and efficiency. Thank you again for recommending this experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable day in Sicily! Warm regards,
