This Tour A Must Of Sicily. - Filippo our tour operator was fabulous, a great driver, punctual and knew every area. He brought Sonia with him as our host/guide who was fabulous and made us feel at home. Very knowledgeable, fun, easy to talk with. And lots of energy. I fell in love with Sicily and want to come back. Each town was precious and unforgettable.

The Godfather and so much more! - This was an excellent tour, would recommend it, especially if you are a fan of The Godfather movie. We went in with that approach, but our tour guide was so excellent we learned so much more. He showed us so many interesting things and we learned so much from him. He took the time to completely explain the history of the different areas we were visiting and point out interesting facts. Our tour guide really took pride in his city and it showed! Would recommend and urge everyone took book this tour.

The best tour! Book it in :) - Amazing tour we had with some friends from Australia! Phillipo was outstanding with his knowledge of all the places we visited - taking us to beautiful, authentic and local hidden gems. Nothing was ever too difficult, no question unanswered. Thank you for being so patient and sharing your love of Sicily with us!

Fantastico - Had a great time seeing the sites where the first Godfather was shot. The town was very picturesque. Had a little bakery where you could taste some fresh baked cookies and focaccia bread. Then a lovely shop that you could taste fresh different kinds of olive oils, lemoncello, wines, almond wine and more. Then we had 2 hours free time time in Taormina where we got to eat some focaccia and arancini. We then got to see Castlemola where we had a few from 500 feet above sea level that was just fantatic. Our tour ended back at Messina where we got to eat delicious cannolis. Great day.

If you are on a cruise docking in Messina, this is the best tour to book, period! - On our 8 stop cruise, this was our favorite stop. We had 9 people, so in addition to Fillipo, we also had Lilo driving us in a second car. The 2 car solution worked well as the smaller vehicles allowed them to park in smaller spaces. Both were super helpful and allowed maximum flexibility. I was able to rent a Ferrari in Tormina and drive separately up to the restaurant on top of the mountain as they followed with the rest of my group. All of their recommended stops were awesome and I highly recommend this your. It is one of the few ones that actually will pick you up right at the cruise port which was hard for me to find!
