Thank you so much for all your help coordinating our cooking vacation in Sicily. Our guests had an amazing time, and we owe so much of that to you and Michael.
It’s too bad we didn’t get a chance to meet you in person this time, but you were always close by via email and WhatsApp. Thank you! Rosemary

We had a lovely holiday in Sicily, where all our arrangements went well and we saw some amazing places. I would like to thank both of you very much for everything you did for us – it was very reassuring to have our initial zoom call and correspondence, and to have your advice to help us shape our itinerary.I would very much like to return to Sicily another year, especially to see the Norman architecture and mosaics and Agrigento. I think we would certainly wish to have some assistance (and possibly no driving!) to make it as easy as possible. So perhaps we will be in touch again in the future. In the mean time, thank you both again very much indeed.

Comment on Morgantina: the land of myths by caroline and Roger W.

Best of all was our tour of Morgantina with Serena; she very kindly picked us up and it was an absolute privilege to be taken round the site by an archaeologist with such a long involvement and deep knowledge of it. What a fascinating site and in such beautiful surroundings. I think we would have found it difficult to navigate and understand on our own. We were almost the only people there, a lovely contrast to the Villa Romana!

Hi Marta.
Both Mirtilla and Gianluca were delightful guides. They were knowledgeable, personable, and open to all our questions or requests. We particularly appreciated that they both had a great sense of humor. They helped make our stay in Palermo even more fascinating.
Please let me know if you’d like more specific information about any aspect of our tours. I’ll post reviews as we near the end of our time in Italy.
Thanks for your kind wishes. We definitely hope to visit Sicily again!
Warmest regards,
Kent

Comment on Piazza Armerina by Kent O.

I realize I completely forgot to mention Serena. She was an excellent guide with an amazing wealth of knowledge that brought the villa to life. She was also remarkably generous with her time, going out of her way after the tour to drive us to a couple of shops outside Piazza Armerina where we could get some supplies we needed. Fantastic!

Hello Marta, I was intending to write to thank you for your help in making our trip a success. As already mentioned, we spent a good day with Cettina in Palermo, benefiting from her knowledge and obvious passion for Sicily. With regard to the car/driver services you arranged, Nancy and I both want to express special commendation for Giuseppe. While both other drivers were also excellent drivers efficiently transporting us to our destinations, we both felt Giuseppe went above and beyond to ensure that we were well looked after. It was a pleasure getting to know him. We highly recommend him and wish him every success. Kind regards, Anne

Our guides and drivers were fine the whole time. As for your guides in Sicily, Alessandra and Paulo were our favorites. They were wonderful!! They anticipated our needs and provided outstanding information tailored to us. Both very different, but with exceptional skill and knowledge for their parts of the adventure. We loved them. Italo and the drivers were professional and competent. I have no complaints. Thank you so much. We appreciated the overall experience and think you did an excellent job getting us to see and experience Sicily.
