Arrivederci!

Four of us had a wonderful week (not long enough!) in Sicily with Tour of Sicily. Each day, an English-speaking driver picked us up from our hotel and took us on fantastic day trips to various fascinating sites on this incredible island. The drivers were friendly, helpful, and full of knowledge about all the places we visited. They went out of their way to ensure we had a great time—special thanks to Alfeo, Sebastian, Frank, and of course Vincenzo! At some sites, we had private guides who provided in-depth historical insights. Elisabetta in Palermo was absolutely exceptional! We highly recommend Tour of Sicily to organize your vacation on this magical island.

I spent several months working with Valeria to plan our trip, and everything went flawlessly. Our guides, Josephine and Raymundo, took great care of us, were flexible, and gave 100%. We explored almost the entire island, balancing time with the guides and time on our own in Palermo and Taormina. We highly recommend using this company’s expertise to maximize your time and enjoyment of this incredible island.

We’ve just finished our tour in Sicily and want to let you know that everything was amazing and exceeded our expectations. All the guides, drivers, and hotels were excellent. The pace, excursions, and small group size made the trip perfect. We highly recommend this company!
