Melissa M.United States
We had a wonderful experience with Mimmo. We spent 5 days together seeing all of the sites in Sicily. His car was clean and we had water every day. Mimmo was very knowledgeable about all of the history and he was able to engage our 12-year-old son and make it fun for him as well. We would highly recommend traveling with Mimmo.

My husband& I had an excellent 4 day private tour with Mimmo, starting in Taormina & ending in Palermo.Mimmo suggested the itinerary giving us an overview of Sicily, east to west:Archeological site in Syracuse& old town;Baroque towns of Noto & Modica;Mosaics of the Roman Villa in Piazza Armerina; Valley of Temples in Argigento. Mimmo was flexible with our schedule & suggested local eateries,including the Aglae run by 3 awesome sisters.A highlight was attending a postmodern Medea in the Greek amphitheater.
Allison B.United States
We just completed a one week tour around Sicily with Nimmo. Without any reservations, we give him our highest rating. He had customized a tour which was everything we had asked for and more. He speaks excellent English and is extremely personable. He took us to many places which are not the usual tourist traps. We also did see many historical sites and towns. Nimmo has excellent knowledge of history and interesting insights. He took us to many hidden gem lunch spots and gave great dinner recommendations.
Diana R.Australia
Mimmo provided the perfect 5 day private Sicily driving tour. The tour combined off the beaten track drives as well as visits to major towns and archaeological sites (Taormina, Mt Etna, Agrigento, Selinunte, Segesta, Palermo) a winery and olive farm. Mimmo shared his exceptional knowledge of Sicilian history - both political and cultural. His information was insightful and flavoured with a dry sense of humour. Mimmo's exceptional driving and guiding skills were greatly appreciated.
