Great experience with our guide. - Tour guide communicated promptly and was on time. He was attentive to answering our questions and giving adequate information in each spot but also allowing us to have our photo time and free time.

Bucket list tour in Catania! - Absolutely recommendable experience for travellers on a tight travel schedule who are dependant on public transportation and don't want to miss out on neither Noto,nor Modica or Ragusa!! Allesio picked us up right on time at the hotel and fluent in English, elaborated patiently on every single cultural and historical question throughout the day. Professional,educational,safe,reliable,informative and utterly pleasant! In brief,highly recommendable!

Small group tour - This was a great day tour. Rustian, our driver would give us the highlights of each town and then we had time to explore on our own. This was a perfect way to see these towns. Being in a small group, Rustian was able to answer our questions and suit the tour for us.

Great day trip with Sandra - My wife and I spent a day with Sandra our guide and driver for the tour of east Siciliy’s three hilltop baroque jewels - Ragusa, Monica and Noto. Sandra was a safe driver and informative guide, and she never made us feel rushed. We enjoyed the day very much.

Best tour guide you can find in the Catania area - Alessio is THE BEST. He’s knowledgeable and interesting and organized. His vehicle is spotless. I wish we’d hired him to take us to Siracusa too. Seriously if you can book him, you should. I am already recommending him to friends. We loved our day with him.

A fantastic experience! - Alessio was a fantastic tour guide. Knew a lot about Sicily’s history and the places we visited. Very friendly and accommodating and very sensitive to what we wanted to see on the day.

Beautifully Baroque - I did both the Baroque Shades of Sicily and the Mt. Etna and Taormina day tours with Alessio as my guide. They were fantastic! Alessio is so knowledgeable of the different time periods, the architecture, and the history of Sicily. I learned so much and have a greater appreciation for the history of the places we visited and Sicily as well. I also learned about the different agricultural specialties if you will within the region which I enjoyed. Alessio is very attentive and made sure I didn’t lose my footing when we were walking around the craters at Mt. Etna. He also knows the best places to stop for pictures, cafe, and food (also all places with nice restrooms). And his driving was smooth which was also very appreciated as I sometimes get motion sickness, but did not through all the windy roads. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide. When I come back to Sicily, I will reach out to him first to see which tours he has available.

A great day out in Sicily! - I and my wife went on a private tour of Noto, Modica and Ragusa with Alessio, the owner of Sicily Grand Tour. Alessio is a native of Sicily and speaks very clear English without any Italian accent, which is a great plus; particularly when he has to drive the car with his mask on and speak. He is very knowledgeable not just about Sicily but also gave informative tidbits of faraway cities like Trieste in the northeast of Italy. We found him very personable as he was always keen to engage in conversation, enthusiastically clicked our pictures with a DSLR, and of course took us to the best spots in each of the three towns. I can easily recommend him for Sicily tours as his communication/approach right from the time I contacted him via email/whatsapp until the very end of the tour was prompt, clear and amicable. SD

Noto worth to stay longer - Noto is really worth to visit, as many baroco buildings n catherdrals over there. Time may be a bit rush in Noto, can make it staying longer, as Modica, Ragusa not too many items to see.
