We booked several transfers through Sicily Tours for our trip to Sicily in August. We were even able to book a transfer to a more remote village where one of our family member’s great grandparents were from. All of the drivers were on time, knowledgeable, and very friendly. It was very easy to book and confirm via email. Prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend.

Traveling around Sicily in a rental car. Don't do this. We visited Sicily in early October 2024. The tour was purchased from the company TUI. The hotel in Letojanni was the only comfortable place to live. Everything else on the island was surprising. We always rent a car when traveling to the south. It was difficult to do this in Letojanni. We found a car rental company 11 kilometers from our hotel. The company's services do not include delivery of the car to the hotel. We had to go to get the car by taxi. The cost of a one-way taxi ride cost us 35 euros. When drawing up the rental documents, we were forced to take out very expensive insurance. It was impossible to choose another insurance, since the company only had one insurance. Our adventures were just beginning. The roads in Sicily are like paths with bad asphalt. Every square meter is built up with houses, hotels and fences. There are simply no parking spaces. If you manage to park your car near a cafe where you want to have lunch, you are very lucky. Be sure to take sandwiches and water with you, so as not to die of hunger or thirst. Toilets. We traveled around many settlements from Messina to Syracuse, but never saw a public toilet. There is no way to relieve yourself on the sides of the roads, since there are houses and fences everywhere. There was no forest anywhere, so we came up with different ways to solve the problem of the lack of a toilet. We advise you to take a bucket or diapers with you. You can go to the toilet at a gas station, but they are usually closed during siesta hours from 12-00 to 16-00. Politeness of the local population. Local people are simply impolite in 99 percent of cases. We advise you not to ask local people for help or advice. For them, tourists do not exist as people. Believe me. English language. English is not spoken on the island, and if it is used, then very rarely. Local people do not teach English. Self-service gas stations often do not have explanations in English, so we had to look for other gas stations with instructions in English to fill up our car. We recommend learning Italian in advance or being patient and translating from Italian using an electronic translator. Jellyfish in the sea. There is no information about the invasion of jellyfish off the coast of Sicily. We were bitten by jellyfish in the sea on the beach in Letojanni. One day there were a lot of them. We did not know that we were not allowed to swim. When we went into the water and begun swimming, several jellyfish stung us at once. Believe me, it is scary when you are bitten underwater, and you cannot see who is biting you. Jellyfish stings are very painful and take a long time to heal. After that, we were afraid to go into the water and did not swim anymore. Jellyfish also bit children. We visited Italy before, and it was a pleasant trip. Sicily is one of our unsuccessful trips.

I just returned from a tour I organized and led in Sicily for a small group of 6 people. Sicily Tours (Carmelo and his whole team) was amazing to work with - gantastic communication, very flexible and accommodating. Our driver (Christian) was the best! He very kindly offered suggestions and information on points of interest. His driving was great and he is an expert luggage packer in the van! I will definitely be working with them again for any future tours in Sicily!

Sicily Tours delivers friendly professional service both for transfers and for walking tours. We are exceptionally pleased with all our drivers and our walking tour guides were informative and fun to be with.

We had a fabulous experience with Sicily Tours! We booked two day trips with Roswitha who was very knowledgeable and responded in a timely fashion. Our drive for both trips was Carmelo who we highly recommend. Our first trip was to Siracusa and Noto. Carmelo was prompt, informative and enjoyable to speak with. He dropped us off at the locations and gave us pointers but you are on your own when walking around. The second trip was to Ragusa and Modica which was also a wonderful experience. The van was very comfortable and clean. Thank you Carmelo!

We went on a day trip tour to our family’s hometown of San Cataldo. Our driver Christian was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in navigating us and translating for us since we didn’t speak Italian. He went over and beyond in making our day extra special. Highly recommend Sicily Tours.

Our group of six, travelled from the Port of Catania to Castelmola and Taormina. Our Driver Johnny was absolutely fabulous, providing us some great commentary. Although we were limited by time, Johnny ensured that we see the best of these spectacular locations.

My 3 brothers & wives & myself & husband had Gianni as our driver. We wanted to try & see our grandparents roots in Seradelfalco. Gianni was our translator & we obtained a lot of information in the town hall! We ate at a fantastic local restaurant trying many Sicilian foods! Overall we highly recommend! Do no hesitate to book with this company!

We did this tour before and exjoyed it so much did it again. The first time was a morning tour and the second tour was in the afternoon. Once we arrived at the locations we did our own thing as we only wanted the transport to get there the second time

Couldn’t recommend Carmelo enough! He is the best and very kind, and extremely helpful especially during Catania airport closures. You must book him for your trip

We are three seniors, one of us mobility impaired and unable to walk easily, so we hired Sicily tours to drive us through Sicily, beginning from the airport in Palermo to drop off at Catania Airport 8 days later. They suggested a tour package that included Palermo, Monreale,Cefalu, Agrigento, Taormina, Mt Etna and Siracusa, plus our driver Gianni treated us to stops in a few breathtaking small towns in the Catania area. We can’t say enough good things about Gianni, who went over and above his driver responsibilities to make sure we didn’t have a lot of walking to do yet still got to see all the wonderful sights of Sicily. We are so grateful to Carmelo’s Sicily Tours and to Gianni for giving us a vacation we will never forget.

Carmelo and his team provided outstanding service for my wife and I during our recent trip to Sicily. We used their service to take us from Diamante to Taormina (including the ferry), from Taormina to Canicatti and back the next day and finally a personalized afternoon trip to Savoca from Taormina. All the drivers were very prompt and professional. Carmelo himself was very responsive in arranging all the trips and taking us personally to Savoca. I am fairly sure they also offer multi day private tours on the mainland and Sicily, as one of their drivers was completing a private tour in Puglia. I would absolutely use their service again without hesitation.

Our drivers were all extremely kind, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We enjoyed our time in the car

We really enjoyed working with Sicily Tours di C. Egitto, whose personnel were quick to respond to questions before we finalized our trip. The pricing was fair for the amount of time and long distances we traveled from Palermo across countryside to Taormina. Each driver was professional, on time, and very safe, good drivers managing to get through tight streets and spaces. We had Alfredo, who drove us from Ragusa to Syracuse and he allowed us a bit extra time to enjoy Noto along the way always being polite and thoughtful of our time. Of special note, is Gianna. He picked us up in Palermo and drove us through the countryside to Agrigento, then Piazza Armerina and finally Ragusa which was a very long day for him. Later in the week, we also had him pick us up in Syracuse on the last stretch of our tour. He drove us up to Mt. Etna and then took us on a special drive through various small towns to get a flavor for that region before getting to our wine tour at Gambino Winery (excellent). Finally, he drove us to Taormina for a final stop before saying goodbye. He was knowledgeable about history and traditions of each region we were in. What a perfect guide to have with us that made our vacation that much more special. We highly recommend this tour group and if you are lucky, you will get one of these top notch drivers. Thank you!

In summary, Sicily Tours C. Egitto was simply fantastic. Not inexpensive, but we didn't mind spending money to have someone else drive (locals), and to have expert guides at attractions where it made sense (ruins, historical sites). We had an absolutely effortless, comfortable, friendly, and very interesting ten-day trip - definitely met or exceeded our expectations! The four of us (two couples) wanted to visit some specific locations, and spend more time in other areas - basically a custom tour, rather than a canned excursion. Before our trip, we worked out details with the office, and they had many good suggestions as to where to go, what to see, and how long to stay in each place. We were greeted at the airport upon arrival, and returned to the airport at the end of our stay. All the drivers and guides spoke English, though some were better than others. It was usually fine, but a few times we struggled with communication (thankfully, nothing critical was missed). Every detail of the logistics was seamless, and the communication and planning were outstanding. We always knew where to meet and when, and what to expect. Though the vans (Mercedes) were large and roomy, our drivers were always smooth and expert at maneuvering around the many curvy and narrow roads. I was so glad to not have to drive! Many details were thought of; Specifically, bottled water, always keeping our own wishes in mind, checking to make sure we were comfortable, helping us navigate (as some of us are not in the best of physical shape). Beyond that, the drivers were extremely helpful in taking us to restaurants (and gelaterias!) that were to our liking and with wonderful food. We felt very welcomed by the restaurants, and were treated first-class. Additionally, though not tour guides, the drivers knew many interesting facts, and pointed out a lot interesting sites along the way. They were totally professional, yet warm, friendly and engaging. One driver was very knowledgeable about the local wines, and we really enjoyed his valuable information. For several places, Sicily Tours arranged for local expert guides (Palermo, Agrigento, Siracusa). All had a wealth of information, but did not overload us with too many facts. I felt like we got a good picture of the history of Sicily, and a lot of insights. Again, the guides paid attention to what we were most interested in, and adjusted accordingly. We really appreciated that our drivers and guides were flexible and always attentive to our wants and needs. I would definitely recommend Sicily Tours C. Egitto to travelers looking for an easy way to explore this great land.
