Alessandro was an absolutely incredible guide and driver who has now become our friend after just a couple of days in Sicily. He is professional, punctual and very knowledgeable about the sights and culture of Italy. He answers straight away on WhatsApp, and nothing is too difficult.
Alessandro organised a fantastic tour of the Gambino Winery and took us to and from the winery. The owner of the winery gave us a private tour, incredible food and wine in a beautiful setting.
Whether you need transport, tour or recommendations, you simply must use Alessandro. 5 stars, we can’t wait to come back and visit with Alessandro again.
