Girls Trip! Perfect excursion

Sonia and Francesco were amazing. The car was always cool and ready to go. We saw so much and Sonia was so knowledgeable about everything around us! We shared so many great laughs, and they were both very genuine and kind.

Fanstastic tour

My husband and I had an amazing day touring Sicily. After a hiccup in the morning (the cruise ship wouldn’t let us go towards their pier so show the pickup location to the cruise ship people), the day went flawlessly. They tailored the tour to our interests while offering suggestions. Francisco’s driving was excellent and we felt very safe. Sonia was entertaining and informative and we felt like we were in very good hands the whole day. Well worth it.

More than positive experience

Great experience with Filippo Spano of SICILY BEST TOUR picked us up at the quay in Catania and took us to Taormina / Isola Bella fulfilling all our wishes also giving us directions on culinary aspects.... unfortunately our time was limited but it was a very nice and pleasant day. The van with which he picked us up was new and well kept as well as comfortable (we were 7 adults) and the trip was quiet and pleasant. Definitely I will still use the service offered by Filippo who I know organizes tours in tt Sicily.

Filippo’s driving was smooth and professional, and Erika was sweet, informative and full of knowledge, making each stop even more enjoyable. The two of them worked in perfect harmony to deliver an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a top-notch adventure!

Fantastic Tour - Magical Day

My husband and I immensely enjoyed this tour. Messina was a stop on our cruise ship, so we wanted to make the most of our limited time in port. Our Tour Guide, Lillo, did not disappoint! He arranged for us to take an amazing boat ride (complete with fruit and Prosecco) in Giardini Naxos/Isola Bella. The caves were beautiful! Afterward, we ate the best seafood lunch we had on our entire trip. We spent time in Taormina and visited the Godfather bar and Church in Savoca. We completed our day at the Cathedral of Messina, with Lillo showing us other points of interest in Messina, as well. He even arranged for us to taste some local wine. This tour exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lillo’s friendliness and knowledge of the area, this port stop became our favorite of all the port stops made during our cruise. We made a friend in Lillo that day and will most certainly request his services again when we return to Sicily. Graze!!
