Amazing memories - We had an amazing trip! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Our guide was flexible with our 3 year old and my mother who needed to utilize a wheelchair for distance. With pickup right at the port and a prompt drop off, it was a great for our cruise! Less expensive than the cruise and a greater experience than offered by the cruise. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in Sicily. We would recommend Best Sicily Excursions to anyone looking to maximize their time, with a friendly guide!

Excellent - We just made an excursion with Alberto from the cruise port in Messina. We went to the beautiful village of Castelmola then to Taormina the magnificent. Alberto is very punctual, very considerate and very friendly. An excellent professional. You can book your excursions in Sicily with him with your eyes closed, you will not regret it. Many thanks Alberto for a wonderful day.

Exceptional Sicily day tour. - Amazing day with Paria!! Booked this tour on a port stop with cruise. Paria as our tour guide and the driver made the day exceptional! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, funny and attentive to all our wishes for an amazing day out. It was by far our group of 4 favorite day! At the end of the day we were all sorry to have to say good bye to them. Thank you for an amazing day and highlight of our vacation!
