We were visiting family in Alcamo and decided last minute to do an excursion for something different. This was a nice change of pace for us. The views were incredible! The guide was very informative - we learned new things about the Sicilian culture, and had fun while doing so on the buggy’s! You don’t drive right up the the temple but you do get a great view and fun photo opportunities with the guide’s help.

The driver was very professional on time. The impeccable service. During the transport he also illustrated the towns we encountered. He was also very nice and kind which never hurts. Thank you

It was a great mix of action and culture. Giorgio is a personable guide. We were even spoiled with Sicilian specialties. We recommend!
