Alison
Our excursion in Sicily was excellent. Irina worked hard to include our every wish. Our driver was exceptional. He was a proud local resident who made us feel like new neighbors who needed to learn about the area. I highly recommend ExcursionsSiciily.

Excellent tour, prompt in response with clarity, highly recommended if you're on a Cruise trip and looking to get a wonderful tour of Sicily and surroundings. Irina who takes care of bookings is excellent to deal with. Davide is a great driver and tourist guide.
Maria
Thank you Eduardo and Davide for a wonderful day excursion from Taormina to Noto, Ortigia and Malfamemi. Very attentive and punctual. Also very patient since our group of 11 included 4 children. We stopped in Malfamemi for lunch at Nassa Trattoria. Thank you Irina for recommendation and reserving for us. It was delicious!! We will definitely recommend and reach out to you on future Sicily excursions.
Joel
Such an incredible experience! Davide was so knowledgeable in not only The Godfather, but Sicily, which was arguably more interesting at times! To know the secrets of the island and the tales of the old were invaluable to our time there. Highly recommend! Beautiful places to visit, and you feel a sense of connection with this side of Sicily that you may not without doing a tour like this.

Highly recommend company, service excellent, communication with office was easy and helpful. Our guide Davide was very knowledgeable about places and the God Father movie . It was the best excursion in our 9 days of cruise. We will come back to experience snowboard on Etna . Thank you.
