The best way to tour Sicily - We actually did a lot of touring of Sicily and what an amazing tour it was. Tours of Sicily ensured that from beginning to end we were well taken care of. All drivers were excellent, kind and thoughtful and we thank them for going that extra ‘mile’ for us. The weather was hot during July but drivers all kept the air con running so that we could cool off. Tours of Sicily organised our ‘boutique’ hotels all excellent and our visits to places of interest covered all we had thought of and more. We highly recommend this company, the cost was not that much more than if we had arranged everything ourselves, something when visiting for the first time is difficult to do. We also felt that driving around the towns Palermo and Saracous and Taormina would have make the holiday difficult regarding parking, one way streets etc. This tour made the visit to Sicily enjoyable and easy. We want to go back and do it all again. Thank you

Perfect way to travel to see Sicily - This was a perfect way to do a trip we went with another couple every day. The drivers were excellent on time cooperative always there to make us happy on the day.s That meals were included they were excellent. I really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it. The two things that I would change is I think they should have water on the vehicle every day so that we didn’t have to stop and buy our own, I also think on the last night when we were in Syracuse and we had to be taken an hour drive to Catania to catch our plane to home
Since we were Taormina and that is closer to Catania, we could’ve spent the night in Catania instead of going all the way for one night so it wouldn’t be so much driving back-and-forth and we could enjoy the city of Catania for dinner that
Night
I think this is a perfect way to do this type of tour and I highly recommend this company I would do it with this company again
Without any hesitation!!

Special cities. - The trip was excellent. Our guide, Valeria, was friendly, knowledgable and spoke English clearly. There seemed to be enough time at each site. Each site was very interesting and well worth the visit.

Erice definitely worth seeing - We would recommend this day trip; the first two stops were wonderful to explore, Erice and the Temple.. magical views at each location,it was relatively warm on the day we went and the air conditioning on the bus was poor. The tour guide was very knowledgeable

Experienced and friendly driver - We enjoyed the guide / driver and his willingness to get us to the two main sites and provide an overview. He answered all the questions and made sure we stayed on time. Although he provided a map, we would have been great if a bigger map was provided of Erice with key points marked.

Transport not a Tour - This is not really a tour but transportation, with some logistics assistance. It should be communicated more clearly in the description. Our driver was very efficient and a pleasure, but I thought there was both a driver and a guide and would have prepared differently if I had known in advance.
It would also be helpful to have an itinerary. As written on the website it suggests Erice first then Segesta. There were a slew of buses doing the same route on the same day and it mobs both places at the same time.
Lastly, apparently the castle is closed and has been closed for a while. As a tour agency, you should know this if you are bringing visitors at least twice weekly on this route and also bring others to Erice for different tours. It would have been helpful to know this before booking since I would otherwise have just gone to Segesta on my own, and had more time there even though the transportation options are not great. particularly elegant.
