Wonderful experience - My family and I had an amazing trip with Alessandro! He was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He was kind and thoughtful with my elderly mom ensuring she was comfortable and able to see sites. He was on time and ensured we were back at the port in time for our departure. The excursion was way better than we could have hoped.

Great Tour! - My husband and I always arrange private tours when traveling. I do a great deal of research on tour companies because I believe that when you travel, learning about the places you go is the point of your journey and doing it in a fun, relaxing way makes it so much more enjoyable! I chose Booking Sicily Tours Allesandro. It was a great decision! Allesandro was our Host and Driver and Bahar was our guide. Both were great - very personable, knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun! While driving to our first stop at Savoca, Bahar gave us a great overview of Sicily - it's people, history and culture. At Savoca we stopped at the Cafe that was in the movie The Godfather. We loved it - it was such a beautiful old building and such a quaint town - with delicious cakes! From there we moved on to Taormina. What a beautiful town with incredible views. Bahar walked with us and gave us a great tour of the town. Then we had a bit of time on our own for shopping and time to have a delightful lunch with beautiful views! We then headed back to our ship - but once again the drive back was so pleasant with the lovely views and our pleasant conversations and insights with Allesandro and Bahar. On a personal note - my husband has a disability and both Allesandro and Bahar were so considerate. Allesandro always tried to park as close as possible to our destination and always was so careful and thoughful of my husband. Bahar was also very considerate with us as we are "slow walkers" and she made sure that the pace was very comfortable. We highly recommend this tour with Allesandro - I'm not sure if Bahar is always available to go with him, but she is certainly a great addition for the tour. Thank you Allesando and Bahar for such a wonderful tour and experience!

Best tour of Sicily - Alessandro was a wonderful guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour with my family. The tour of Savoca was my favorite part of the day, however the cannoli in castelmola was also super good. Book your tour with Alessandro and you won’t be disappointed!

Outstanding - We had The Best Time on this tour! Our guide, “Frank” was so accommodating and fun. We, all 8 of us, voted him and the tour, to be the best out of all our other tours from our 10 day cruise trip. Fell in love with Sicily.

Perfect day! - Alessandro and his family delivers an excellent experience. As a first time visitor to the area, we would not have been able to see, experience or learn about even a third of what Messina has to offer. I would highly recommend booking this to learn about the area, visit the site where the godfather was filmed, see stunning views, eat amazing Sicilian food and explore an unknown area.

To repeat! - Sicily, beautiful! Having disembarked at the port of Messina, we found Alessandro's excellent service. Family group of 9 people, we left for Taormina. Two hours of admiration and tastings, we set off again and tour also to Messina for another little break and back on the ship! Until next time!
