Andrea was an incredible guide! He interacted with each of us, explained the history of each stop and provided us with great views and even bought us food! We were on a 3 week cruise and this was the best of the 14 excursions we did. I wish we had more time in Sicily but would HIGHLY recommend this tour.
Thank you
This is the second time we have booked this excursion with Angelo and once again the experience was a 10. Everything was perfectly organized, both Angelo and Mariana were always attentive to ensuring we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest and shared their knowledge and recommendations very warmly. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and that makes the excursion even more special. Without a doubt, we will repeat whenever we have the opportunity. Thank you so much for helping us have an unforgettable day.
Gracias
This is the second time we booked with Angelo. First time was as 2 families this time as a couple. Angelo was able to meet all of our requests making it so special for my partner who has a special birthday this year. We saw parts of the Island we didn’t see the first time. We also got to access parts of the island we would never have seen had we chosen to go with a tour bus due to the narrow roads. We had a guide with us this time also, Alex who was English speaking and amazing. Having local knowledge is the best. We got to eat the best Arancini balls on the island, along with sampling lemoncello, canolli, granita and brioche. From start to finish we had lots of laughs creating memories that will last forever. We never felt rushed at any of our stops and had confidence we would make it back in good time for our ship. After each stop Angelo would make sure the van was air conditioned keeping it cool as it was super hot as well as providing all the cold refreshments. We consider Angelo and Alex as family. If you want a fun excursion make sure and book with Angelo you will not be disappointed. Until next time my friend 💙
Thank you
The proposed excursion is organized down to the smallest detail with more than enough free time to visit the planned locations. Angelo respected the times and schedule, and was very helpful both with explanations and with small gestures to make the day more pleasant, given the great heat. Fresh water on board the minivan and umbrellas provided by him to make the hour we had the chance to spend on the beach with a refreshing swim more pleasant!!!! definitely highly recommended!!!!! trust him with peace of mind!
Grazie
Exceptional experience, Angelo is an exquisite person, helpful and easygoing, he delighted us with a very well-organized tour, a wonderful day! We even managed to go swimming only thanks to him. Highly recommended!
Grazie
We had the most amazing day with Andrea who took us to Taormina, Castemola, and Isola Bella. He was a very safe driver along the windy roads of Sicily and brought a positive energy to the day! Andrea was patient, kind, knowledgeable and did all he could to make our day memorable. We could not asked for more exploring this beautiful place. Booking with Angelo was seamless- he was responsive and easy to work with! If you are thinking of booking a tour- do it!
Thank you
It was a wonderful experience. Angelo is an expert and helpful guide. With him we discovered beautiful places in Sicily. We were pampered with a cannoli tasting
Grazie
