Testimonials

Everything was great. The tours were just what we were looking for. Highlights were market visits and cooking classes. We particularly appreciated Gianluca’s tour in Palermo. Drivers were always on time and easy to talk to. very smooth process with no stress on our end.

The wine tour was amazing and our tour guide Marco was the best we have ever experienced! The Tenuta di Fessina winery was incredible!! This is a must do on your Sicily list.

My husband and I took the Inspector Montalbano tour and enjoyed the day immensely. Our driver was on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and personable. The car was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. Montalbano was only part of the tour and we were sorry not to see the town where the outdoor shots of the headquarters is located, but we did see the outside of his house in Marinella (Punta Secca) and the beach, the trattoria where he dined regularly and the lovely town of Ragusa which stands in for Vigata. We also visited Modica, a beautiful hill town, where we had lunch and visited a locally famous chocolatier, and we made a stop in the Baroque town of Noto with its buildings of a golden local stone. All in all a memorable and delightful experience.

The trip was absolutely fantastic. . Your drivers and guides are the best! You made all the logistics so easy! The drivers were all so timely and so pleasant ! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sicily.

Each driver was wonderful! We were so impressed with their knowledge, education, conversation , courtesy, appreciation of our humor and needs. We trusted each of them 100% which is important for four women in a foreign country. What a group of over the top professionals! From the airport to Palermo, Segesta, Erice, Trapani, Scaicca, Agrigenta, Ortigia, Noto, Bronte, Randazzo, Taormina and Catania…we got to know and love you all! Thank you for a trip of a lifetime!"

We had a wonderful time with Natale. He could not have been a better guide. The whole experience in fact was exceptional. His vast knowledge and his warm personality made the day our favorite, I would say, of our entire two-week trip. I really don’t know how it could have been improved. Thank you. Please give him our best.

We used Sunny Sicily for an entire week in Sicily in October. They took us to several wine tastings with lunch (I let them pick). They were always on time and in spotless vehicle's. Marco Picked us at the airport, Paolo the owner drove us one day and we had Patrick for several days. Patrick was funny, informative and always gave us great advice. Claire in the office always returned my emails promptly and was very helpful. We absolutely would recommend Sunny Sicily and would use them again.

Book ahead of time. Do not take any waiting taxi offerings. Excellent service. Safe and courteous driver who was very professional. Sunny Sicily makes it a smooth exit from airport to destination. A dependable / reliable company.

We had a wonderful experience; Paulo provided excellent service. We would definitely schedule more tours with Sunny Sicily if we return!

Wonderful experience! Driver was prompt, helpful, informative, and friendly. Truly created a great experience for us exploring the wineries of Mt. Etna and the city of Catania.

Generally, this tour was terrific. We had a problem with pick up because the office mistakenly sent the driver to the wrong pick up location, which caused us to wait a great deal before starting out on the tour. Because I speak Italian, the tour was even more meaningful to me, having seen the episodes many times and having read the books. Our guide was well informed and funny, and the villages we visited along the way were magical. I would say that if you are a mad Montalbano fan, as I am, this is worth the price.

100 recommended! Trustworthy, friendly and, comfortable, and fair price!

Really great company. I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but this group has excellent communication, they were prompt to pick us up, and the drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. I have only positive things to say about them. It was also cheaper than renting a car large enough for a group of 5.

Sunny Sicily arranged an excellent local driver who took us to all the places used to film the television series Commissario Montalbano. It was a hassle free way to see a lot in one day and never have to worry about directions or parking. We ate gooey arancine at a place mostly frequented by locals at Ragusa Ibla, bought gritty Modica chocolate, and even took our photo inside the real restaurant used for the scenes where Montalbano takes his seaside lunches. Although our driver spoke little English, he played recordings with information about the specific places we visited while enroute. I do speak Italian and so I also got to learn about his life as a young musician and music producer and about his years growing up in town of Comiso. Those insights from a local were a real bonus for me that went beyond just the advertised tour.

Our tour commenced with the pickup precisely as arranged.We had an excellent vehicle and were driven well,to the exact destinations and timings expected.We had no anxiety about meeting our drop off rendezvous to public transport. The tour was advertised as a Montalbano film locations tour,but we were surprised to receive no more detailed information than the town names ,and one or two buildings, mentioned in the advertising.We had expected something much more specific.Our driver had an excellent knowledge of Sicilian geography and lifestyle,but could not advise about the special subject of the tour. Anyone contemplating this tour should therefore expect to need to do their own research.

SunnySicily is dependable, professional, courteous, on-time, thorough, and an all-around highlight of our trip by taking all the variables of getting from point to paint away and making the journey a pleasure. Do not hesitate to work with them...you will not regret it.

Our driver Lillo was fantastic. We stopped for a coffee before going out to Erice and then Segeste. Very comfortable ride, great information supplies by Lillo. Thank you we had a fantastic time.

We had the most wonderful vacation in Sicily and we owe it to Sunny Sicily! Claire planned many day trips and transfers for my family. The drivers always arrived ahead of schedule. The vans were beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The drivers were so amazing and some of them really helped make our days so memorable and special! If I am lucky enough to return to Sicily I will definitely use Sunny Sicily again. Thanks to Claire who handled all the planning and even had to make a very last minute change for us and did so effortlessly. Thank you, Claire! I highly recommend this company to make your vacation completely stress free and memorable!

We had an amazing tour of Siracusa with Paolo. He showed us so much of the area and gave us just the right amount of time to explore on our own. We learned so much about Sicily.

We booked the Montalbano tour at very short notice for six us. Claire was wonderful in the office and helped me organise everything. The day itself was brilliant and we got to see way more than I had hoped. The car was clean, spacious and so very comfortable. My daughter who is prone to get travel sickness never once felt sick which is testimony to how skilful our driver was. The real highlight was our driver Patrick. From his warm morning greetings outside our rented house to the goodbyes later than evening , he was an absolute gentleman. Apart from his impeccable appearance, he was warm, funny and very informative about the sites and the history of Sicily. He shared stories from his life, kept us very entertained with Sicilian lore and was an absolute mine of information on the history of many of the areas. He was attentive to both my elderly mother, my daughters and all our needs on the day trip from food to toilet breaks. I felt all the tension leave my shoulders the minute we got in the car with him and we really enjoyed the day. Thank you to all at Sunny Sicily.

Our experience with SunnySicily was an absolute pleasure. Their office is responsive, attentive and flexible to our travel needs. Because of the way we organized our Sicilian holiday, we experienced different drivers every few days. With absolute certainty, I can say the drivers were professional, courteous and safe. I would highly recommend SunnySicily. Sit back, take in the scenery and enjoy the journey. A special thanks to Claire for always being available.

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) used SunnySicily's services to drive us around the island on our 2 weeks in Sicily. We became so close with Patrick, the most wonderful human, that we also asked him to join us for meals - - he was an incredible driver, but an even better human being. He cared for our wellbeing, safety, he educated us and was so passionate about his country and Ortigia in particular. 10/10 experience that made our travels much more enjoyable and relaxing. Highly recommend (and, ask for Patrick!).

Claire was awesome to deal with. She was very accommodating and the drivers were great. I recommend this company if you ever go to sicily.
