Amazing - The whole day was amazing Angelo and his English speaking tour guide were very knowledgeable about the area. The small touches that he added to day made it even more memorable. Will definitely be using the company again in the near future. Thank you so much Angelo

Messina wonderful!!!! Thanks to Angelo - We were lucky enough to go on a field trip with Angelo and I can only say... wonderful! From the first moment he was super attentive, friendly and always with a smile. He didn’t put any glue on any change of plans, on the contrary, he gladly adapted! In addition, it had the detail of inviting us to try typical local food, which we did not expect and which made us feel even more welcome. His way of running the group, explaining things and making everything more enjoyable, made a difference. Thank you, Angelo, for making this day such a special experience. We would repeat with you without hesitation!

Fantastic Experience - I want to highlight especially how good a guide Angelo has been, not only has he made us a fantastic tour but he has taken us to taste typical food of the area, besides we traveled with children and tb we were on the beach, always with a smile and without rush waiting for our times, I loved it I recommend 1000 × 1000 , I do not think you can visit the island with a better guide , thank you very much for everything.

One of my dream trips - That was incredible! Everything is very professional and top level! Tour guide Oleksandra was desk informed and so willing to share knowledge that we were all overwhelmed with positive emotions, something we had not experienced in all our previous travels, which you all wish

Sicily tour with Angelo - Loved our tour led by Angelo and Alexzandra. Not only did they take us sightseeing but also took us to a couple of places to introduce us to some of local foods of Sicily. This tour was one of the ɓest we're ever taken in all the years we've been traveling. They were friendly that when we left them it was like saying goodbye to family members. Highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous tour for the money. Worth every penny! - The tour with Angelo, and Alexandra as the guide, was simply terrific! Worth every penny. A solid 8 hour tour. There is no way you get all the sites, information and attention to detail if you did this with an excursion from a cruise ship. The value is unmatched and hospitality off the charts. The balance between visiting landmarks and time to explore areas on your own and/or shopping was just right. Even stopped at unique places for traditional Italian snacks/desserts that were included in cost of tour! They treated us like family. A full day but so glad we did the tour through them!
