Perfect! - We had this trip yesterday and it was really worth it!! We departured from Piazza Politeama in Palermo and went to Cefalù, we visited the city with the guide, who told us very interesting things, then we went to Caccamo a very pretty place with a beautiful castle which we visited too. The driver was also really good and, with the guide, they did a great job! Don't forget to get the granita!

Disappointed - If I could leave negative stars I would. The operators canceled at nearly the last minute and gave no reason. We had booked this trip months ago and are extremely disappointed.
