Unique experience! - I visited the Villa Romana del Casale , I was very surprised by the size of the Villa and the beauty of the mosaics, Inside there is a path to follow with information points, for those who wish to present guides outside.

On time,Friendly professional driver - Was really happy with our day trip from Catania to see the mosaics at the Villa Romana del Casale. Our driver Cesco was on time, friendly and a good driver. Clean and well maintained vehicle. Happy with our stop for coffee (!!) and the lunch catered well for our vegetarian requirements. Recommended.

Nice Day Trip - Two beautiful towns in one day, very well designated. Our driver was on time, very polite, and give us some background of the city. However, we had a drive more than a guide, because the most important part of the tour was the Villa of Rome, but we were on our own, and there’s no tour or audio guide on site.
