Perfect tour and transportation service! - Our experience with Sicily Tours was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. A special thank you to our driver, Carmelo, who made the trip unforgettable — he was friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having fun. He made our honeymoon extra enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to see the beauty of Sicily!

Mount Etna/Taormina - Looking down into the craters was wonderful and we love the old European charm of Taormina! Our driver Christian was incredibly informative and so kind! He was a total pleasure to be with!

Sicily Trip with 8 days of driving - We used this company for private driving tours for 8 days in Sicily . We used them from Palermo to Taormina to Siracusa to Ortegia to Agrigento and back to Palermo. We did 8 day trips on our two week trip to Sicily and were completely satisfied! They were on time , provided a clean and comfortable Mercedes Van and were super helpful, friendly, protective, and provided some great restaurant recommendations. We really enjoyed Christian and Carmelo and would highly recommend them ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience--highly recommended to make the most of your Sicily trip - We booked multiple tours and transfers with Autoservizi Sicily Tours di C. Egitto and I wish there was a category above "Excellent!" Every driver was on time, friendly, safety-conscious, English-speaking, and professional. The tour guides they booked for us in Palermo/Monreale, Taormina, and Siracusa were all top-notch as well. Communication with the booking office through Roswitha was great--responsive, clear, and timely. A fantastic experience all around--highly recommended!

Enjoyed our private tour - Carmelo picked us up from the very crowded cruise terminal in Messina. (Otherwise you have to wait for a bus to take to the end of the port area which is quite large). We really enjoyed the change in scenery as we ascended to the craters on Mt Etna which made for a really great walk. (recommend closed toe shoes and if 60 degrees F is cold, maybe a sweatshirt). The olive oil & honey tasting was great and we bought a few bottles to take back on the ship. (Unfortunately, only one jar made it back due to an accidental drop on the pavement) We enjoyed lunch, gelato and walking around Taormina with the amazing views, scenery and shops. We felt very comfortable immediately with Carmelo and he easily answered all of our questions. Carmelo was very knowledgeable and a very good driver. We very much enjoyed our day with him in Sicily. Highly recommend.
