What people are saying about Sicily

The trip was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Gianfranco picked us up at our hotel right on schedule and stopped at several great viewing locations on the way to and from Mt. Etna. He was very knowledgeable about Mt. Etna and also gave us a lot of great information about Sicily and other things to see and do in the area. I would highly recommend this excursion and Gianfranco as a guide.

Everything went wonderfully! We had a super nice chauffeur; I think Leo was his name. The German-speaking guides also passed on their knowledge well. A trip that is definitely recommended!

Our time with Gianfranco was fabulous! He is a lovely man, so knowledgeable, friendly and articulate. He explained everything so well and made it all so easy. An amazing day!

It was really great. It was my first time driving a Quad-Bike and the guides were incredibly patient with me (it's not easy to drive a Quad). I really enjoyed the trip.

Francesco was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. A really great tour that you should definitely book.
