Sicily Trip with 8 days of driving - We used this company for private driving tours for 8 days in Sicily . We used them from Palermo to Taormina to Siracusa to Ortegia to Agrigento and back to Palermo. We did 8 day trips on our two week trip to Sicily and were completely satisfied! They were on time , provided a clean and comfortable Mercedes Van and were super helpful, friendly, protective, and provided some great restaurant recommendations. We really enjoyed Christian and Carmelo and would highly recommend them ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience--highly recommended to make the most of your Sicily trip - We booked multiple tours and transfers with Autoservizi Sicily Tours di C. Egitto and I wish there was a category above "Excellent!" Every driver was on time, friendly, safety-conscious, English-speaking, and professional. The tour guides they booked for us in Palermo/Monreale, Taormina, and Siracusa were all top-notch as well. Communication with the booking office through Roswitha was great--responsive, clear, and timely. A fantastic experience all around--highly recommended!

Enjoyed our private tour - Carmelo picked us up from the very crowded cruise terminal in Messina. (Otherwise you have to wait for a bus to take to the end of the port area which is quite large). We really enjoyed the change in scenery as we ascended to the craters on Mt Etna which made for a really great walk. (recommend closed toe shoes and if 60 degrees F is cold, maybe a sweatshirt). The olive oil & honey tasting was great and we bought a few bottles to take back on the ship. (Unfortunately, only one jar made it back due to an accidental drop on the pavement) We enjoyed lunch, gelato and walking around Taormina with the amazing views, scenery and shops. We felt very comfortable immediately with Carmelo and he easily answered all of our questions. Carmelo was very knowledgeable and a very good driver. We very much enjoyed our day with him in Sicily. Highly recommend.

Best time with Carmello and Sicily Tours! - Best time with Carmello! Last minute we hired Sicily Tours and it was amazing! Carmello was the best host and driver and we were able to visit 3 wineries around Etna. The entire time Carmello was informative and explained everything about Mt Etna and the wineries. Will definitely hire them next time (and recommend them to our friends) when we are in Sicily. Best driver and wonderful time. Even though we were with him for just a day he felt like family. He recommended a wonderful restaurant in Taormina (Al Giordana) next to the Public Gardens and they treated us like family. Even sang me happy birthday with a wonderful cake. Best time ever! Love Sicily Tours and Carmello! Hire them. You won’t regret it. We wish we hired them for our entire time there.
