Manuel and his tour company, The Best of Sicily, are a must for any trip in Sicily. Manuel is an incredibly accomplished tour guide. He is prompt, even early, for the pick up to start the day. He is well versed in ways to communicate with his customers to make sure the entire tour experience is enjoyable, funfilled and that you do experience "the best of Sicily." Manuel's company name says it all. We thoroughly enjoyed the scheduled itinerary and even enjoyed more his recommendation for a lunch spot. When Manuel found out my travel partner's family had come from Enna, he offered to take us to the hilltop village, even though it extended our tour. Such kindness can't be repaid. We talked about our next day plans and Manuel offered to create another private tour to a buffalo mozzarella dairy, Ragusa Ibla and Modica. We without reservation accepted his offer and this second day of Manuel's superior tour experience even surpassed our expectations. The timing was impeccable, the locations to visit and experience "the best of Sicily" were truly outstanding. Having Manuel as our tour guide for the last 2 days of our 39 day trip put a beautiful cherry right on top of our already memorable experiences. We would without hesitation book any tour that The Best of Sicily is offering to lead. You, too, will be glad you did.

Ho portato mia madre in tour con quest'azienda perché lei è un'insegnante di storia appassionata in particolare dell'antica Grecia. Camminare a fianco ai templi ancora perfetti e intatti per lei è stato come un sogno, non smetterò mai di esservi grato.

Siamo stati prelevati in anticipo dal nostro fantastico autista Manuel, in una splendida e soleggiata giornata ci dirigiamo prima verso la Villa Romana del Casale visitandola e ammirandone i meravigliosi Mosaici. Poi il pranzo in zona, e si riparte verso Agrigento alla Valle dei Templi dove sembra di ritrovarci letteralmente nell'antica Grecia. E' stata un'esperienza che non dimenticheremo facilmente, grazie!!!

Grazie per la bellissima giornata, Manuel ha dato il massimo per rendere la nostra esperienza la migliore in assoluto... Posti fantastici che meritano davvero di essere visitati!

Tour davvero piacevole, lontano dalle grandi città immersi nella storia della Sicilia. È una lunga ma bella giornata per arricchirsi culturalmente. Manuel è stato davvero gentile con noi fornendoci anche acqua durante il viaggio e guidando in maniera calma e rilassata. Abbiamo mangiato in un agriturismo consigliatoci da lui vicino la Villa Romana del Casale, che con prezzi modici ci ha fatto mangiare davvero bene. Consiglio assolutamente.
