Was pleasantly surprised at what we discovered in Sicily! We had no idea there were so many hidden treasures throughout the island! Paolo, our very experienced guide, put together and guided us on a weeklong adventure and made the experience perfect by ensuring we saw the best of the best during our stay. He also recommended excellent hotels and restaurants and secured tickets when needed. An extended guided tour is the best way to see Sicily and Paolo is the perfect guide to make it happen! Thanks for a great experience! Ten Stars!

Sicily exceeded our expectations and Paolo completed a wonderful vacation! This was our first experience with tours by locals. Considering a 7 night tour, the guide/chofer had to be special and he was! Paolo has profound history knowledge and enjoys sharing it. He is a very polite, patient, considerate and a gentleman. He made every stop interesting and worthy. His recommendations were all good and his itinerary flowed easily. He was always ahead of any request . For us a 10 out of 10! Very pleased!
