Mario planned a great day for us in Sicily! He is so much fun and so knowledgeable and we feel like we got a true behind the scenes tour. He was very accommodating and planned stops at a fabulous place for lunch and the best gelato! And don’t skip the best cannolli- its amazing. We loved our day with Mario and highly recommend this tour.
