Wonderful experience in mid-August with family and friends. Really perfect organization and attention to detail. Christian, young guide, really professional and impeccable.
Beautiful experience, wonderful place, great professionalism, availability and friendliness of Arianna, Cristian and the whole staff who made the excursion in the middle of nature easy even for us who are out of shape
Nice and quiet excursion, especially suitable for families with children. The route is simple and the guides, young and very well-prepared, make the experience pleasant. Our guide (Giorgio) explained the local fauna to us in great detail. The most beautiful part is definitely the rubber dinghy ride through the gorges, with the evocative play of light and nature all around. Too bad about the water, which was warm and murky. Overall, a normal excursion, pleasant but without any particular thrills.
A truly fantastic experience at the Tiberio Gorges! A rubber dinghy excursion immersed in a wonderful, evocative, and absolutely must-see natural setting. The route allows you to appreciate the beauty of the gorges up close and to live a pleasant, relaxing, and at the same time engaging experience. A special thanks to the guides, very young but very prepared, helpful and attentive, capable of accompanying the group with professionalism, courtesy, and passion. An experience that I undoubtedly recommend to those visiting the area and wanting to discover one of the most fascinating corners of Sicily. Absolutely a must-do!
Completely immersed in nature to be able to admire its magnificence. Eugenio, our guide, was impeccable in everything. We give him 5 stars too
Splendid excursion in a corner of wild and pristine Sicily. Here they managed to make a jewel created by nature in geological eras accessible without violating or altering the territory. Professional and very kind staff, great care for the reception and services, a note of merit for our guide Chloe: attentive, engaging and prepared, very good!
We had an enjoyable trip through the gorge with our lovely guide Ariana who was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. We learnt a lot about the geology of the gorge, the flora and fauna, and local legend, all of which was very interesting. We also very much enjoyed our swim. I would recommend this trip which provides excellent value for money. Chris and family
Mauro was a great tour guide. Well suited for children (8 and 11). Afterwards there is a kiosk with ice cream, drinks, and panini.
Absolutely gorgeous place and definitely worth to see. Our guide Arianna was super nice, spoke at least four languages and gave us first class information about the whole place. The whole atmosphere was super relaxed and you never had the feeling to get rushed through. We’ll give it a ten out of ten:-))))
Beautiful experience, everything well organized from the shuttle, to the equipped area, to the shower, to the guide Arianna for the excursion who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended
