The trip was just amazing - wonderful places, breathtaking panoramic views and unforgettable moments. Our guide - Marco - was very friendly and nice. He speaks many foreign languages freely, so it was just a pleasure to listen to him explaining many interesting details about the history and the characteristics of the places we've visited. Highly recommended!!!

This was the perfect way to explore outside of Palermo with neither of us having to drive. Pick up and drop off where on time and at our door. Our driver, Micheal, was wonderful; friendly, terrific English, very knowledgeable. He told us the plan for the day and at each site provide the highlights. Our van was full but still comfortable and we enjoyed the other guests. Sicily is incredibly beautiful. This was a great value!

This was a perfect day trip. Our driver Joshua was excellent, he was witty and conversational, he did an awesome job of pointing out sights along the way to our destinations which was a nice added bonus considering this isn’t a guided tour. I wish we had more time in Segesta but the sights were beautiful.
