“This was up there as the best excursion we’ve ever went. The guide Giovanni was excellent. His knowledge and passion for the subject was outstanding. We saw all the places we remember from the movies and Gio had backup footage for those who had forgotten. The transport was spot on and the meal we went for after it was outstanding. If I wasn’t leaving Sicily today I would have went back and done it again!! We could have listened to him for hours. Superb guide and a great sense of humour as well, he kept us all going and nothing was a bother. Thank you Giovanni for making our trip…”
