Magical Madonie Mountain Dinner - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. Roberta and Mimmo, our guide and driver, were absolutely wonderful. The dinner, dancing and music was so joyful, and our hosts were delightful. Such a special and memorable experience!

Magical dinner in the mountains - My husband and I, went on this during our holiday stay in Sicily. Our guide was Roberta, Roberta was brilliant, the best guide we ever had, she gave her authentic self to the whole 5 hours, we truly were immersed in the history and experience of the trip. The food in the evening was fantastic, lots of it with wine served by the jug full. A magical evening had by all, Rosa is a brilliant host. We highly recommend this trip.

Authentic Sicilian Experience with an excellent guide! - Roberta, our guide, was knowledgeable, a local, and loved by all who greeted her. She took us to her home village of Castelverde and walked us through the ancient streets, explaining village life as we walked. Next, we went to La Posada for a cooking lesson then to the restaurant for dinner. As we exited the bus, the vibrant accordian player and guitarist welcomed us along with the owners. The treated us to antipasti, primi, secondi, and dolce. All was delicious. In between courses, we danced to the authentic Sicilian music. Our dancing moved outside for a traditional circle dance that was great fun. If you are looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, sign up for this tour. It is excellent!

As previously related - As the other reviewers say this is a fantastic experience which will bring a smile to your face and fill your belly at the same time. Roberta is a diamond, there’s nothing she doesn’t know about Sicily, speaks perfect English too. I thoroughly recommend this excursion.

A breath-taking tour - Roberta was a simply amazing guide and being from the local area having grown up and lived in this remote village her passion and love for the heritage and its people and food and customs was contagious. The dinner itself after the wonderful tour through the village was such fun - full of dancing and laughter and do not think you will be allowed to sit down and relax - Pedro will have you up dancing and singing the night away!! I LOVED it.

Amazing local food trip to the mountains - We loved this half day trip to San Mauro Castelverde and Contrada Karsa. Roberta was our guide, she is a lovely talented lady. She speaks very well English and she has many stories about the area we visited, she grew up there. We met briefly with her family too, lovely people! The bus tour to San Mauro is full of breath taking views, it's very nice break after the beaches in Sicily. San Mauro is on the top of the hill, and it's a very pretty little village with about 2000 people which is roughly 30 families she said. The place has few local stores and they only sell local products. We also tried some amazing local cakes (free of charge) which was so delicious that we ended up buying some more for our friends. We also visited 2 different churches with big history, and both of them were lovely inside and out. After our trip to San Mauro we headed to Karsa for a local dinner. A very nice local lady presented us some amazing sicilian recepie. They have there a lovely kitchen where they show all the steps of some sicilian starters, it was an amazing experience. Obviously we had those starters and other amazing sicilian dishes with a very nice house wine, and while we were there we had 2 amazing musicians playing various Italian music, very nice people!! We had a little dance too! It was the best and unique trip we had in Sicily. I recommend it to everyone visiting Cefalu to take this trip. We left 4PM and arrived home around 11PM. We loved every step of it! Well done Roberta! 😀

Best Italy tour we’ve taken! - Roberta, our guide, was wonderful! Charming, knowledgeable, friendly, humorous, and witty! The experience in San Mauro Castellaverde, her village, was wonderful! We enjoyed the walking tour and stops at local shops for samples and purchases if we wanted. The town was the friendliest we’ve yet encountered in all of Sicily. The dinner experience was wonderful; we had great conversation with our fellow guest at large tables and enjoyed great wine and a home-cooked meal. The band and dancing were a real treat. This is smalltown Sicily at its best!
