Wow- what a great tour and day! - A very nice private tour for my wife and I. Filippo was very communicative in booking the trip. We were so lucky to have Lillo as our driver/guide. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. On the drive to Taormina, we learned about Messina and the history of the island. We made a photo stop above Isola Bella on the way up. Lillo dropped us off right at the gate of the city center in Taormina and was right there waiting for us at the agreed pickup time. On the return to Messina, Lillo took us to the Duomo Cathedral and Astronomic clock, where he explained the scenes on the clock. Last stop was for cannoli. A great way to finish the day. Highly recommend this trip.

Sicily to discover - Sicily is a magical place but its story must be told to fall in love with it. Lillo with his kindness made us discover many curious things and introduced us to wonderful places. Highly recommended to everyone!

An amazing experience - An amazing, unforgettable tour with friends. Filippo and Erika far exceeded any expectations we had and the scenarios we have seen made it all even better. Filippo is an excellent driver and Erika was really knowledgeable and thoughtful about everything we needed. The van was such a luxury, comfortable and clean. There are not enough words to describe!! Please put Sicily on your bucket list and book a tour with them, you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent Experience!! - We had a fabulous experience!! Erica and Filippo were so friendly and accommodating. Eric shared so much info on the history and life in Sicily, specifically Taormina and Messina. We had originally scheduled one of their private preplanned tours, but decided to make some changes as we went along and they didn’t skip a beat. They even arranged for a private cannoli tasting and made some extra stops in Messina. I highly recommend this team for their professionalism and hospitality. They are truly fabulous ambassadors of their homeland!
