This was a terrific tour. The pace was just right as was the level of detail. Mimmo is a super likeable and charming guy. His knowledge of Sicily past and present is prodigious. His interpretation of what we saw at Agrigento was very clear. I cannot recommend him more highly.
Mimmo was wonderful. Knowledgeable, prompt, good company, lots of extra touches. The favorite place was Villa Romana, that it was stunning. Loved all the hotels, sitting on the hotel terrace in Agrigento drinking wine with the lighted temples was magical. When Etna fogged over and couldn't be visited, Mimmo made alternative arrangements - which they loved. The places he found for them to eat were wonderful - everyone seemed to know him, and trotted out the red carpet and delicious food. Sicily was not a surprise exactly - knew they'd love it - but it was so much more than they had anticipated. So much history, more than anywhere else they'd ever been. Having Mimmo the whole time was wonderful, and worth every penny!
Mimmo was knowledgeable and engaging on a variety of topics, from historical information to local restaurant recommendations to what every day life is like in Sicilia. We recommend him with hesitation or reservation!
Mimmo was the best guide, he was thorough, knowledgeable and spoke English! We learned more than can be imagined!
Mimmo was a fantastic tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and had an excellent command of English. He was an excellent driver and knew local restaurants that were exceptional. We would definite hire him again.
Spending the day with Mimmo was really a treat. His personality and knowledge of Sicily overall and the Valley of the Temples in particular were tops. We appreciated his professionalism, his clean and comfortable van, his humor, story-telling, and so much more.
