We really enjoyed seeing Castelbuono and Cefalu. You could almost feel the history in the air in both towns. Castelbuono was quiet and nestled in the mountains - definitely ask to stop on the road and take pictures. We got to tour the 14th century castle and walk around the cobblestone streets. They have a very old family-run Panatone shop there as well, so we got some nice souvenirs. Cefalu was where we had our best meal on our two-week trip to Italy - Le Chat Noir. Definitely stop there! There were also a lot of cute shops with local artisans, and the beach was beautiful. I would have loved to stay in Cefalu overnight. Our driver was very kind and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. He walked around with us in Castelbuono and provided some information in both towns. I'm not sure we needed to do this as a private tour - I think a small group would have been just as nice and probably more cost effective. But I am glad we got to see these towns and, again, our driver was very nice.
Amazing! Please book this trip. Our host Umberto was not only knowledgeable, accommodating but also went above and beyond in or opinion. We could not have asked for more. A great excursion to beautiful places in north sicily. A hidden gem tour! Thank you so much. We loved our day
Flawless experience from start to finish. Friendly staff,great value, and I'd recommend it to anyone
It a must do. Cefalù is a beautiful town. We will return in summer. Our driver Christian went above a beyond to make sure we enjoy the whole experience.
Great trip and a terrific guide! He showed my wife and I around and we had a terrific time seeing everything and exploring the food.
Super trip, umberto was a great guide. Castelbuono is charming and tranquil. Lovely food tasting experiences with the local produce. Cefalu is just a gorgeous combination of architecture and a beautiful beach set against the mountains. Even in late October it was warm and sunny and a real treat. Lovely trip and not too far in the car from Palermo.
We visited two very walkable and friendly towns. Wonderful 'local' experience! We loved our day with Umberto.
Beautiful place to visit!! Our tour guide, Christian was wonderful! Worth every penny!! Great day trip!!
Cristian was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed the tour very much. It was great to get out of Palermo to see other places in Sicily with friends. The van was comfortable and clean.
The driver was very good and pleasant to talk to. The car was very comfortable and good a/c on a really hot day: Castelbuono is a ‘must see’ location. A worthwhile visit. cefalu was good too.
