Traveller reviews
Money well spent!!! We loved our tour with Get In Sicily! From the moment Francesco picked us up to the moment he dropped us off...everything was perfect. The tour was informative and so pleasant. Francesco and tour guide took us to all the best spots making it an unforgettable experience. They were so nice, friendly, professional and fun. It was my son's 11th birthday that day and they went out of their way to make him feel special! We are already planning our next trip to Sicily and will definitely be calling on Francesco for another incredible tour! Thank you and Ciao for now. Klaudia
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Get in Sicily, and I especially want to recognize Francesco, who went above and beyond to make our visit to Messina truly special. As cruise passengers, our time in port is limited, so having someone knowledgeable, professional, and attentive makes all the difference. Francesco was fantastic from start to finish. He was extremely helpful, organized, friendly, and genuinely concerned about making sure we had a great experience while also getting us back to the ship on time. His knowledge of Sicily, along with his warm personality and attention to every detail, made our day stress-free and enjoyable. He gave us a wonderful introduction to the area and made us feel like we were in the hands of someone who truly cares about his guests. Francesco is a true asset to Get in Sicily, and we would absolutely recommend him and the Get in Sicily team to anyone visiting Sicily, especially cruise passengers stopping in Messina. Thank you, Francesco, for making our visit so memorable! We hope to see you again on our next trip to Sicily! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Sicily. Pickup was on time and very close to our cruise ship. Both vehicles and drivers were fantastic. They arranged a perfect day in Sicily for our group of 10 ranging from 6 - 76 years old. Support this local company! Their professionalism and service is unmatched!
Francesco (Owner of Get In Sicily) is a native and passionate about his hometown. Very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Our family of six enjoyed his tour and his customer-oriented service. I highly recommended his excellent tours.
Our day began when we met our tour guide, Andrea, right at the port (where our cruise ship docked). He greeted us (myself, my husband, and our 12 and 14-year-old sons) warmly, and we headed to his air-conditioned van. As we drove, he began talking to us about his love of his home, Sicily. Our visits to the three different places were filled with incredible moments and tons of information. There are so many different points during the day when my family made memories we will never forget! Andrea took us to a very cool bar in Castelmola— delicious cannoli! And when we arrived in Taormina, he gave us the best lunch recommendation. It was our favorite meal of our entire 13 -day trip through Spain, France and Italy. To say we enjoyed this tour would be an understatement. It was one of the best we’ve been on. Thank you, Andrea! Until we meet again!
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Francesco was an incredible guide, showing us all the beautiful parts of the island from Savoca to Taormina and Castelmola with plenty of time as a shore excursion. Every recommendation he made (especially for lunch), was a 10/10!! We were traveling with a two year old and my family had the best experience in Sicily. Thank you Francesco!!!
We hoping to find a driver who spoke English for the day! Wow did we ever find so much more! Francesco was beyond knowledgeable about the sights we knew we wanted to see! Even more importantly, he suggested a few others that we would never have known about! It was beyond a dream come true day!
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Francesco, took us to all of the best sites and picture spots. We roamed around at our leisure and it was very easy to reconnect to move on to the next location. We had the best lunch and cannolis. Thank you!
