What an amazing tour we had with Mario! We did a lot of laughing with him. There were so many wonderful places he took us to. He was a great driver and very patient with us and our picture taking. He was prompt and we never had to wait for him. We smile every time we think of our amazing day with Mario!

Mario was such a wonderful guide. So knowledgeable and personable. You could tell how much he enjoys leading people through Sicily. It was the perfect mix of some free time and guided tour. And the lunch stop was absolutely fabulous not to mention the cannoli tasting!

Our small group thoroughly enjoyed a tour and had a wonderful meal at a truly authentic restaurant in Castelmola. Mario was accommodating dropping us off at the top of Taormina, so we could enjoy the walk down at a leisurely pace. It was a great day.

Our port of call was changed and Mario adjusted without any issue. Our transportation was comfortable and he was very knowledgable on the traffic, road construction, and spots to see during our transport from location to location. The roads in these areas are winding and steep, Mario traversed them without hesitation. Mario shared interesting facts along the way and made our time feel special. Our kids felt comfortable and had a great time joking with Mario along the way.
