I took two private tours. The first was to the Valley of the Temples. The second was to my ancestral village. My driver for both was Mr. Rocco. On the first tour, he was only my driver, on the second he was driver, guide and interpreter. He was a lot of fun to travel with and he also did an excellent job as guide and interpreter. I also have to say Nina Forza, who set up the tours, was very responsive, efficient, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend both Mimmo Sicily Tours and Mr. Rocco.

We booked two separate days with Mimmo Sicily Tours, which were in effect both transfer days (not consecutive) but with included sightseeing. We had different drivers on both days but both spoke English well. The driver did not act as a guide but he took us to where we wanted to go (nearest parking place) and gave directions to the various attractions and we agreed the pickup time. Could communicate on WhatsApp if things changed. The driver was very punctual both days in a clean Mercedes sedan. On one day we were catching the evening ferry to Malta and so the day was scheduled to end late so we could board the ferry directly. Price was not cheap but was reasonable considering if we had to hire a car including the day when we didn't need it, fuel and parking as well as the convenience of being able to be dropped off and picked up without having to worry about finding parking. Would definitely use them again.

Our trip to Sicily booked through Exclusive Sicily Tours with Connie Costa was incredible and amazing. From the pick up at the airport to each of the cities we visited, Siracusa, Ortigia, Ragusa, Modica, Noto, Taormina, Mount Etna, Cefalù , Mondello, Palermo, Monreale, Connie booked us a thorough and enjoyable stay in Sicily. The hotels were luxurious, restaurants delicious, sites glorious, mountains spectacular, we could not have had a more enjoyable stay in Sicily.

Mimmo Tours organised a perfect day out for the four of us. Our driver Domenico, was spot on time to pick us up at our remote villa, his car was in excellent condition very clean and well stocked with water and he spoke excellent English even with a few jokes and quips. We did a guided tour of the Sulenorte Archaeological site accompanied and hosted by Domenico, fascinating to learn about the local history . We then followed on with a lovely tour, tasting and lunch at Planeta Winery and then on to a olive oil plantation and factory for a tasting and mini-tour. The whole day, organised by Nina @ Mimmo, was faultless, certainly worth the expense and totally recommendable, Mimmo won't let you down.

We wanted to customize a personal guided tour of the birthplaces of our grandparents. After a long search, I found Mimmo Sicily Tours. My questions were always answered quickly and I received help in sheduling it. Our driver, Domenico, was so gracious and knowledgeable not only about the places we visited, but about the history of Sicily. He provided safe transportation to these out of the way places and was invaluable in helping with communications in the towns. This was our most important day of our trip and we were not disappointed. Thanks, Domenico.

My daughter and I used Mimmo Sicily Tours for a transfer and custom half day tour from the Catania Airport with drop off at our Catania Hotel. We lived in Sicily many years ago, and we wanted to visit our old neighborhood, her schools, favorite Pasticceria's, restaurants, parks, and other locations from her childhood. Because we knew where we wanted to go, and it was not a typical tour, we chose to reserve "just" a driver and not a guide. But we got WAY more than a driver. Alex (Alessandro - but goes by Alex) was phenomenal. He understood the personal and once-in-a-lifetime nature of this tour and made it better than we could have imagined. He was able to obtain access to places we didn't think we could go, and his connections with the community ensured that our tour was perfect in every way. We cannot thank Mimmo Sicily Tours--and especially Alex--enough. You have given us memories for a lifetime and brought to life my daughter's childhood in Sicily. We will most definitely us them again when we return. You cannot go wrong with Mimmo Sicily Tours.

My husband and I are in our mid-seventies, so even though we live and drive in Europe, the thought of tackling the backroads of Sicily ourselves was a non-starter. We did our research and found Mimmo Sicily Tours. Mimmo did not disappoint. We had a grand time touring the island, meeting some locals, seeing unusual places, eating great food,and hearing Sicilian stories which we would never have experienced by ourselves. Mimmo never failed to be considerate, on time and flexible to solve any last minute wishes or changes. Like all the comments from his clientele, Mimmo has a wealth of knowledge of all things Sicilian and takes excellent care of his customers. Review from two Canadians living their lives in France

My husband and I booked with Mimmo Sicily Tours after reading his many positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Our tour of Sicily was with Mimmo himself, and his reputation is well deserved. He provided us with a fabulous 4-day trip that was perfect for what we wished to see around the island — from Siracusa, to Sciacca, to Palermo and points in between. He has a great personality and quickly figured out what we would most enjoy experiencing. He was perfect. His knowledge, and insightful explanations of the history of what we were seeing, as well as social aspects, both historic and current, were very valuable. All that in addition to the ancient sights and the magnificent scenery, and he did all the driving! We give him our highest recommendation.

Very good walking tour of the historic center of Palermo with guide Karolina. Visited many key sites and got a good introduction to the history and culture.

We were really impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and skill of our driver/guide Domenico. The Mercedes van was so comfortable with big windows allowing for great visibility of the beautiful Sicilian countryside. Best of all we could both enjoy the trip so although it was not cheap we felt it was really valuable.

Two of us had a fabulous trip for a week with Mimmo who had a wonderful, dry sense of humor, very educational, a great and safe driver, and more than happy to show us all sorts of interesting places/restaurants off the beaten path as we toured around Sicily. From the moment he picked us up at the airport we knew we were in great hands. We learned a lot about life in Sicily, Italy more generally, and had many interesting discussions about the differences and similarities between cultures. We feel that we now have a friend in Sicily who will always look out for us. The Mercedes was immaculate and there is NO WAY we would have been comfortable driving ourselves in the tiny, twisty Sicilian roads with motorcycles and pedestrians all over everywhere. Mimmo made our trip and we are really grateful that we found him. Let him make the suggestions on where to go and eat and you will be happy!

I have never written a review before and always preferred to keep my opinions private. Well this rule has now been broken. To be brief, my wife and I took a 14 day vacation to Sicily. We hired Mimmo to drive us around Sicily touring 4 of the major cities we chose. Hiring Mimmo was the best decision we made from years of traveling. We received a lot more than an excellent driver. We found Mimmo to be the nicest, professional and historically knowledgable person you can imagine. He was the "icing on the cake" from an amazing visit to Sicily. Grazie Amico!

Mimmo helped our group of 12 have an awesome experience in Agrigento and with an olive oil tasting. We arrived into the Port on cruise ship and hired Mimmo to be our driver and guide. He promptly picked us up at the port and we set off for Agrigento to see the Valley of the Temples in his comfortable Mercedes SUV's. The length of the tour at Valley of the Temples was perfect, we had our own guide, he was raised in Florida so had a true American/Italian way about him and knew we did not need to know everything about the history of the place. It is beautiful and stunning and we spent no more than 2 hours there - which was perfect. Then we went about 40 minutes away to an olive oil producer and watched harvest and had a tasting and delicious meal - truly a highlight. I hope he offers this as a regular tour - it was a wonderful experience. Our group was between the ages of 50 and 85 and there is a lot of walking over rough terrain in the Valley of the Temples and in the Olive tree orchard. A great experience and a highlight of our Sicily Trip.

We had an outstanding time in Sicily. I attribute a large reason was our guide, Mimmo. Mimmo’s historical knowledge is outstanding and if possible his driving was also incredible. We toured in his Mercedes SUV. Extremely comfortable and a great ride. The way Mimmo navigated the small streets in all the towns was to be marveled. He took us to places and restaurants that we not even on our itinerary but places that he knew from all his experiences. I just wish I could have this kind of person lead me on all my travels.

Mimmo is, by far, the most outstanding tour guide we have ever had. He's knowledgeable, thorough, personable, funny, and he took us to the places 'off the beaten path' for meals and sightseeing--not to the touristy spots! We would book with Mimmo again in a heartbeat!
