Mimmo is a superb driver and guide. Informed, considerate and kind, he drove us across Sicily and revealed the character and mystery of Sicily to us along the way with intelligence, good cheer and humor. His English is impeccable. When we return, we will certainly use his services again. We loved Sicily, and Mimmo was a big part of the experience.

I and my wife went on a private tour of Noto, Modica and Ragusa with Alessio, the owner of Sicily Grand Tour. Alessio is a native of Sicily and speaks very clear English without any Italian accent, which is a great plus; particularly when he has to drive the car with his mask on and speak. He is very knowledgeable not just about Sicily but also gave informative tidbits of faraway cities like Trieste in the northeast of Italy. We found him very personable as he was always keen to engage in conversation, enthusiastically clicked our pictures with a DSLR, and of course took us to the best spots in each of the three towns. I can easily recommend him for Sicily tours as his communication/approach right from the time I contacted him via email/whatsapp until the very end of the tour was prompt, clear and amicable. SD

The day we took our tour was our 60th anniversary. We spent most of the day in Savona, our tour guide and driver made our day memorable. Both were very knowledgeable, as they were training a new tour guide and driver we were the only passengers. Savona is very beautiful just; like the movie scenes. Natasha knew all the places and stories about the story and filming of the Godfather. She introduced us to the local baker, we sampled some of his delicious cookies, bought some to take back. Best Chocolate Almond cookies and Limoncello cookies we will ever taste. We visited on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday) the village school children we watched the village school children parade in their costumes and they threw confetti at us.

We had a great time at Nonna Amalia's home cooking experience. The cooking class was hosted by Valeria at her gorgeous home and the kitchen was fully equipped. We choose to cook homemade pasta (tagliatelle) with tomato sauce and ravioli filled with pureed eggplant. It all turned out being great! For the dessert we made paste di mandorla! Everything was delicious and we really enjoyed the experience. I can really recommend this cooking class if you are looking to learn some Sicilian home cooking.

We experienced a misunderstanding, causing us to pay for the cable railway to go to the top of mount Etna without using it. The bus driver, Alessandro, was extremely understanding and helped us to get the money back. Top service and a very nice experience.

This review is a few weeks overdue! Roberto hosted my small group of 4 and it was AMAZING! He is very personable and was knowledgeable of the areas we visited. The Godfather tour blew us away!! I cannot say enough great things of the experience, it was truly unforgettable! The cherry on the top was the winery Roberto set up for lunch with wine tasting...Murgo winery...highly recommended by the way ????. Food, wine and staff were all top notch! Can't wait to go back and can't wait to take another private tour with Roberto. He made us feel like family! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! See you soon!
