Dario was a fantastic guide! We originally booked the tour as a small group and it ended up just being my husband and I with Dario. So we got a private tour! Dario really had an appreciation for the places we were visiting because he was local to the area. He gave us thorough explanations about the sites as well as an environmental perspective due to his background in environmental science. He was always happy to offer to take pictures for us and give us free time at certain points as well. The tour itself covered a lot of ground! We got a chance to see ruins, ocean and charming "old Sicily" in just a day. Was very nice to have lunch provided and brought as a picnic so we could take more time to see the sites! Customer service from the tour company itself was wonderful. Easy to communicate with them and quick response time.The trip we booked as a trip for a small group but in the morning we realized that it will be our personal private tour what was even better than we expected.

The trip we booked as a trip for a small group but in the morning we realized that it will be our personal private tour what was even better than we expected. Gioele, our driver and guide, was very very very knowledgeable, polite and friendly. He gave us a lot of information about Sicilian history, about all places we visited and made to us a great company. We enjoyed also small lunch with the regional wine. Everything was perfect and we really admire Gioele´s knowledge of history and also his fluent English.Our guide Gioele, who liked to be called Joe was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The day was well paced and arrangements for the day were made very clear to us. We saw parts of Syracuse/ortygia which we would never have seen if we had gone alone.

Our guide Gioele, who liked to be called Joe was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The day was well paced and arrangements for the day were made very clear to us. We saw parts of Syracuse/ortygia which we would never have seen if we had gone alone. The archeological park was worth a visit and the written information supplied was useful. The buildings of Noto are amazing. A tour not to be missedWonderful experience. Our guide was amazing and had a lot of knowledge about history. Lunch was customised based on our preference that was mainly panini and Catania red wine sourced from Etna. We saw churches, local markets, sea, churches, temple ruins.

Big pity we couldn't go but I wouldn't hesitate to use both Sicily Day by Day and Tripadvisor in the future.
