We had a lovely historical trip with Alessandro. He was a great guide who has a relaxed manor and good humour. He gave us a wonderful insight into where we visited. There were 4 in our group and he made sure he covered everything we wanted to see and more, including a lunch stop in a market where we sampled a most delicious scicilian sandwich. My favourite stops were Noto and Ortiga, both very beautiful and I enjoyed walking the streets and taking in the history. Alessandro very much made himself one of our group and we look forwards to seeing him again, hopefully trekking up Mount Etna..It was a great experience in beautiful nature. Alessandro is an amazing guide and has a splendid personality
