Riccardo was just wonderful… very efficient, knowledgeable and organized.. we had beautiful weather.. thanks to Riccardo..book this tour!!!
We absolutely loved our tour with our driver and guide Sergio. He is a special and very kind person with excellent English and really took us on a very special day to Etna and Taormina. Highly recommend.
Dear Guest, It's very important to me to read these beautiful words and share them with your driver Sergio. We're truly happy we could help you to the best of our ability. Regards, Danilo C.
This is a private tour so your itinerary can be whatever you'd like! We were in port for the day on a cruise so we had limited time but wanted to see Mt Etna and Taormina, which was not offered as an excursion by our cruise line. This tour was the perfect day! Our driver met us right at the port. We had plenty of time to see both stops and loved being on our own timeline. We were back to the ship with plenty of time before all-aboard time. Highly recommend. The price is well-worth it.
Dear Customer, Thank you very much for your kind words. We spent a lovely day in Sicily and everything went well. I wish to meet you all again in Sicily. With kind regards, Danilo C.
Never have we ever had such a knowledgeable, amazing tour guide as Fabio for this tour. As a biologist, he knew so much about the environment, the history, Mt. Etna. We visited such amazing spots, local market, beautiful sightseeing. It was just a wonderful day for our family that we will never forget. Thanks to Fabio. Highly highly recommend!!!
Dear Jennifer, Thank you very much for choose my service. Fabio is an excellent driver&guide, i'm very glad to sharing with him this feedback. Greetings, Danilo C.
Danielo was fantastic!!! Took us everywhere listed and more. He was our photographer, driver and tour guide. We got off cruise ship and picked us up at the dock and returned us there. When you only have 1 day to see the island see it privately. You can see more.
Dear Guest, Thanks for your feedback, i'm assolute happy of that. I wish to meet you again in Sicily. Kind regards, Danilo C.
Incredible good. We love the days that Danilo help us here in Catania. I highly recommend his services
Dear customers, am extremely happy to read your positive review and I hope to be able to offer you other services in Sicily. Regards, Danilo C.
We have done private tours the past ten days. Danilo was the first person that actually listened to us and made the day exactly what we asked for. He took us to places just like we asked and we didn’t feel like he was getting a kick back at every stop like we did with others. Can not say enough positive things about Danilo. This was our best day by far! Book with him you will not be disappointed.
Dear EmilyAnn, This is a fantastic review for me. I can expect nothing but the best from you! Thank you once again for choosing me. Hug, Danilo C.
We had a wonderful tour with Danilo, to Mt. Etna and surrounding cities. He is a professional driver and very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and surrounding cities. We also went to The Gambino winery and had an excellent tasting and selection of wines. We would definitely recommend Danilo for any of your touring or pick up needs. He is prompt and reliable.
Dear Guest, It is very interesting for me to read this nice review, I will also have the opportunity to share it with my other driver's and we will always try to give our best. Regards, Danilo C.
We were on a small private tour. We saw all that we expected Mont Etna and Taormina. Our driver was the owner of the tour agency. Unfortunately he talked very little and spent most of the time on his phone, sending and receiving texts while driving. We were not confortable with his driving. He didn’t understand English very well and gave minimal information about the area.
Dear Customer, he probably got the wrong agency, but I'm still sorry for his disappointment. I and the drivers who work at my company are highly professional and when driving and/or in the presence of our customers we do not use cell phones. Furthermore, we are English speaking drivers and we try to do our best so that we can accommodate all the requests of our customers. Kind regards, Danilo C.
