Escursione perfetta sull'Etna con la fantastica e preparatissima guida Sebino. La consigliamo per la serietà, puntualità ma soprattutto per la preparazione e la gentilezza di Sebino che ha saputo cucire l'escursione sulle nostre necessità e aspettative ed è riuscito a trasmettere la sua passione e amore per queste terre meravigliose. Ringraziamo anche Patrizia per i preziosi consigli, complimenti!

Lucia was extremely helpful, organising a great private tour of the archaeological park and a wonderful wine tasting at Planeta winery. She then stayed in touch with us during our whole trip in Sicily, always available for tips and advice.

Having explored different tour options, I decided on choosing Ciauru di Sicily Tour after finding that their communication and pricing was very clear. Compared to other tours/drivers there is quite some haggling needed and a variety of prices that I have hardly ever seen before, lets just say some companies are asking more than flight tickets....We were picked up by our guide Angela, who took us to several places around Palermo and Trapani. What struck me was that the team had no problem to go beyond what was required, booking restaurants, hotels and wine tours without ever asking for extra fees or complaining about the extra work. There was never any time they were rushing us on or if there were places we might wanted to see along the way that she wasnt willing to take us to. She was further able to give us background information about most monuments and cities which gave context to the tour.One instance stuck out for me where for instance she dropped us off at the Greek temples of Argigento drove 20 minutes to the Turkish steps to check (eventhough she called) to see if we could still visit them after it was informed that they were closed. As mentioned, they had no problem to go beyond what was expected.High recommended and also required to get around Sicily (without a car you will need several more days just to go from one location to the next).Marijn

Back in January, we booked a trip to Ortigia for September and were planning to do some group tours to other key locations. Then the pandemic happened and we thought that we would not be able to go on any tours. Fortunately, some good friends recommended that we contact Ciauru di Sicily Tour, which we did. Lucia was so helpful in responding to our enquiry and set up a Whatsapp call to discuss what we wanted and suggest options. She put together a fantastic itinerary for us, including a walking tour of Ortigia and visits to Noto, Modica, Ragusa, Taormina and some small and delightful “Godfather” villages. All just perfect for us and with a private guide.The itinerary was fantastic and our private guide, Angela, was just perfect. Very knowledgeable, helpful, organised, relaxed and flexible. Nothing was too much trouble and we had an amazing time – it was just like having your best friend show you round their home town!Thank you, Angela, and thank you Ciauru di Sicily Tour, we had a very special trip to Sicily – thanks to you.Steve and Linda
