      An extremely enjoyable excursion!
      Food and wine were fantastic! The olive oil is an unsung hero and delicious. We had 5 glasses: 1 as a welcome with a talk about the vineyard; 4 with the food with top-ups throughout. We also got a glass of Prosecco, although this was something we asked for, rather than given. We were then invited to see the cellars where the wine is processed before buying/ordering any wines. The weather was cloudy so I can’t comment on the views, but I’m sure they’re stunning. The drive to the vineyard is beautiful so they must only get better with height. Andrea as a guide is brilliant. He’s fluent in French and English and translated everything into both languages. He’s funny and a very talented opera singer. Would happily recommend this experience!

      Wonderful wine tasting tour
      The wine tasting tour was really fun! We had a nice tour guide (Isabella) and the winery (Gambino) was so beautiful. The wines we tasted were really nice and paired very well with the food! The host from the Gambino winery told us with so much passion and enthusiasm. I would definitely recommend this tour!

      Etna
      I did the Etna tour full day, it was really an amazing experience! The guide Christi is very prepared, he speaks 3 languages perfectly. We arrived with the bus in the wood, then we took a large jeep bus and the path was really funny, it seemed to be in a rollcoaster. When you arrive on the top you can feel the peace of Etna, it has a magic landscape made of black vulcanic rock and green and yellow vegetation. You’ll also see the big craters, it’s a amazingq view. It’s a worth experience please don’t miss it, it would be such a pity. I recommed Sicily Excursions to everybody, they have a lot of interesting Tours and they are lovely and professional people, they know how to treat the customer, good job guys

      Easy to book, tour provider was in touch as and when needed, coach arrived on time Giovanni was a fantastic driver, host Isabella was great & very knowledgeable, the wine was superb & plenty of it, also the nibbles provided were more of a tapas - enough to not be hungry when done.

      Wine Tasting
      Enjoyed the wine tasting & mingling with others on tour. The view was misty - but could be magnificent. The stop at Linguaglossa cafe was shortened due to tour numbers error causing delay in departure. Suggest optional tour of Linguaglossa street art could be included at cafe stop to help promote the area.

      Good quality wines and beautiful setting
      We really enjoyed this excursion. The guide was excellent and the winery representative who ran everything on site was very knowledgeable. The wines were all excellent and supplied with a selection of cheeses and nibbles to pair. I would recommend this to anyone

    Enjoyable tour to locations used in the movie "The Godfather" from 1972. The guide used the trip from Taormina to the 2 picturesqe locations Savoca and Forza d'Agro to talk about Sicilian history and stories from when the scenes for the movie were made. Very interesting and informative. Interesting to see the locations, the very beautiful small villages and sourrounding landscape. It was warm, so it was nice that the tourbus was airconditioned. I would recommend the tour to anyone who would like to see these beautiful locations whether you're a fan of the movie or not.

    The tour says 4 hours. Just so you know we spent 45 minutes picking up people from hotels, then the tour was actually 3 hours and then it took around 1.75 hours to get back. Having this tour on a sunday, when all the locals are around, it took nearly an hour to get around 10kms on one stretch of the road back. A suggestion, have this tour on a weekday, when there are less locals around to clog up the roads. Guseppi the driver did well up the narrow hills. The tour guide...AdrianI? a dutch lady, spoke more about the history and trees and food than what there was to say about the Godfather movies, which in itself was good. Perhaps whilst picking people up you could play the music from the godfather movies to at least set the scene. For the actual tour, I would probably do the hop on hop off bus around Taormina it I had my chance again, which includes the villages this tour went for. So by the time we collected last people it was 3.15pm, we drove to first vilage and had around 1 and quarter hours there. then we drove to second village and had around 40 minutes there

    The tour states 4 hours but this is from door to door (or bus stop to bus stop). When booking we believed that collection was as 10.30am but it turned out to be 3pm. We stopped for a drink in Bar Vitelli and visited the church where Corleone married. We then went on to the next town where filming was made but this turned out to be only one wall. The church in this town was interesting and we also visited the convent where chocolate was made.

    Guide was awful. Dropped us off, very little interaction and only saw her at the drop off/meeting place. Your ad should state most areas are unsuitable for clients with mobility issues, not suitable for walking frames.I was unable to get to the church.Guide did not tell us about the local "taxis" that take you up for €5.Visit to cattacombs unnecessary,all in Italian, no connection to The Godfather tour, just more strenuous uphill walking,guide offered no explanation to the history.These comments apply to both Savoca and Forza D'Argo.Poor value for money from a holiday experience.Saw other groups with guide and listened to their info as our guide was nowhere to be seen.Unfair we pay same fare for a guide who tells us very little and your reviews rave about other guides fantastic narration throughout the trip.There were lots of other people unhappy with the service, and people who were unable to access the tour attractions.

    We have had a wonderful tour today. Giovani our tour guide was so knowledgeable and seemed to have a true passion for the subject and Sicily. I had a knee injury which I thought could spoil my day but Giovani arranged things to keep my walking to a minimum - but not miss anything of the tour. I would recommend him very highly

    The app would not allow me to select the bus station as a pick-up point. So I had to select the nearest hotel to us, which I did. We received a message confirming the details. The driver then failed to pick us up. When we rang the company, they blamed us for not being at the pickup point!

    A fantastic little tour of beautiful Savoca and Forza d'Agrò with a wonderful guide Isobel. Two beautiful villages with amazing views. You don't really need to be a fan of the movie to enjoy the tour. Isobel the guide explained much more about Sicily and the villages than just the movie elements.

    The trip was uneventful. A steep walk to the church with no guidance from our tour guide. stressful. Off to the other church where our tour guide again disappeared. Then we were told that we needed to spend money in order to visit the bar. We when grateful when we could board the bus.
