Sight seeing and delicious Italian treats and food - Of all my vacations ever, this was the single best day of vacations I have ever had. Angelo brought us to 3 different spots, and did not rush us at all. Yes the views were beautiful but the he made the day feel special for me and my family. Wish we had more then 1 day in Sicily, but we will be going back next year for a few days, and yes Angelo will be showing us the other beautiful spots in and around Sicily.

Unforgettable memories - Guided tour is most efficient way for cruisers visiting Taormina and “God father” scenes. We had a great time with Angelo. He is not only a passionate and reliable tour guide but also a safe driver.

A Day With The Godfather - Angelo had been recommended to me by a work colleague, and meeting him wasn't a disappointment. My wife Sheila and Myself had a day we will never forget Angelo was absolutely fantastic with my wife so patient, the trip we chose took I everthing we hoped Savoka to walk where greats had been The Godfather Brando De Niro Paccino, Toramino with Etna in the Background. Cannolis and Almond wine in 2 fantastic establishments. Then Caselmola for some.retail therapy. Angelo had every detail planned to the minute, nothing was any trouble photo opportunities were plentiful and the final treat at the quayside a lovely ice cream in a nice little family run coffee bar Would recommend this trip 100%

A real feel for Sicily and the rich beauty it offers - This was our 5th day on our Mediterranean cruise and by far our best excursion adventure yet, This day will be hard to top !!! Our driver, Angelo and personal guide, Asania, were not only knowledgeable on all the rich history of each stop, but super friendly, easy to interact with. They made the time personable, taking an interest in us & sharing of themselves. The experience with food was such a pleasant surprise & you can tell there was a lot of thought put into what we tried & where we ate it at. I would highly recommend Angelo, Asania & his brother Nicola’s tour business💕 My 21, 19 and 17 year old adult children expressed their appreciation & gratitude for a great day !
