We had such an enjoyable trip. The tour operator asked us if we could swap days and was really clear in its communications about the pick up point. Everything went very smoothly and our driver was lovely. Most of the day was as we hoped it would be. Agrigento was amazing, as expected. However, we didn’t have long enough at the Villa Romana. We didn’t arrive until after 4pm (last entry was supposed to be at 4pm) and the site closed at 5pm. We would have had more time there if we hadn’t had a 45 minute stop at the Turkish Steps, which was added to the itinerary the day before the tour and wasn’t what we had paid/intended to see. We have asked the operator to consider changing the itinerary in future so that others have more time at the Villa. It is such a wonderful place and we had to rush to see it all.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Communication with the vendor was excellent. Our guide, Andrew, was prompt, informative, knowledgeable and a great driver! A word to the wise: there is a lot of walking up steep hills.

This was a good tour with Sicily Day by Day.The booking process was smooth. Laura in the office was very pro active with responses and information. This was a small group ( 6 people) and Angelo , our driver cum guide, was knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information, ( we were also given printed material) which was useful. He gave us clear instructions about pick ups etc and was a very pleasant and helpful person. We were also given a very nice lunch of our choice at the local cafe which was such a thoughtful touch… The sights themselves were truly worthy especially The valley of the Temples and would definitely recommend this tour.

We did the tour with Sicily Day by Day Tours and it exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Giovanni was a wealth of information on each location and organised a delicious lunch for our group. We recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed visiting Valley of the Temples and Villa Romana del Casale. It's a long day with lots of driving from Catania and back again, but Antonio was a very safe, professional driver. He gave us some information about both locations (paper handouts) and there are also display boards to read while walking around. The temples were magnificent and Villa Romana del Casale was really impressive, with some of the best-preserved Roman mosaics that I have ever seen. Myself and some other guests had problems finding the correct exit in Valley of the Temples so I suggest choosing a different meeting point. Once we were reunited with Antonio, we went to a cafe and had sandwiches, icecream, coffee and wine, included in the price of the tour. Reading some of the other reviews, I expected to go to a deli or sit-down restaurant, but perhaps it wasn't possible on the day because we were delayed leaving the archaeological park. The tour company - Sicily Day by Day - was very professional, responding to questions via email and Whatsapp and making the booking process very smooth. I recommend this company and will use them for future tours in Sicily.

Driver Giovanni was excellent and friendly. Traffic and driving in Italy is stressful so we appreciated his car handling skills. The excursion includes solo time and optional out of pocket admission to historic venues. Many historic ruins. Walking and inclined paths take their toll on the elderly and mobility challenged. Be forewarned! Overall a good opportunity for exploration at a fair price.

We really enjoyed our trip to Savoca, Castelmola & Taormina. Marco is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and helpful. We definitely recommend this tour.

The driver and guide, Davide, spoke fluently in two languages for the general enjoyment of two Americans who spoke English only, me a fluent Canadian with Italian heritage and an Italian visiting her spouse studying at the U of Catania. Davide gave good background about what were going to see, went out of his way to make everyone comfortable and drove with courage and caution through Catania morning and evening commuter traffic. Savoca was a little disappointing as the “Michael Corleone” wedding church was closed. Lunch in Castelmola was pre-ordered but was lovely. Very good pasta al la Norma and bruschetta two ways was enjoyed by everyone. Over all good value. Great service.

Our driver and guide (Flo) was fabulous she was so passionate about Sicily her knowledge was amazing . Flo made sure we were looked after all day and experienced everything we could in one day many thanks Flo

One of the largest archaeological sites in the Mediterranean and a UNESCO world heritage site. The site has 8 temples, constructed in dedication to Greek Gods 2500 years ago, with impressive sections still standing, and evidence of collapsed temples still remain. It is considered second to Athens’ Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was a fascinating part of our stay, and a unique opportunity to be absorbed in history and witness 1st hand how temples were constructed. Advice is to arrive early in the day, or later, avoiding midday sun as there is little shade and a lot of walking. Scala Dei Turchi - interpreted as Turkish Stairs one of mothers natures gifts. Steps made from granite and chalk that shelter the sea. Access is via a steep stepped path, so requires reasonable fitness to complete. Parking is available on the roadside above, but was very busy when we visited in late August. We were also unable to access the stairs as it has been cordoned off, but was able to get close to see the beautiful landmark. Worth visiting both on the same day.

A long day but a very worthwhile trip to see such wonderful Greek and Roman sites, particularly the mosaic floors. The lunch was provided, including wine and water! I would highly recommend this tour.

This is an outstanding place to visit, the condition of the temples is amazing considering they are from 600bc, a must visit place.

Booked three tours with Sicily Day by Day (this being one of them) and what can I say but what a pleasure to deal with such an amazing tour company. We've booked some tours over the years but Sicily by Day by Day have to be the best! Customer service and communication first class. Tour guides exemplary. Reasonable prices. I've never seen so much passion from tour guides from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you everyone, you made our first tour to Sicily a very special one ❤️

Very nice tour, the panorama from Savoca and Castelmola is incredible. I would have like more time in Taormina though, with a chance to reach the beaches there. The guide was very friendly, but didn't stay with the group at the different locations. I guess this is for parking reasons, that are a real challenge in all the three visited cities ! Anyway, it's an easy and efficient way to visit the oriental border of Sicily.

We booked a tour through Helena who was very efficient and quickly responded to all my emails. She arranged an excellent wine tasting and light lunch at a beautiful local winery. Our driver Antonio was an absolute joy. On the drive to the winery, he entertained us with local knowledge, facts, and stories. He did everything he could to ensure all 9 people in our group had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this company!
