The cathedral in Montreale is breathtaking. We could have stayed and taken it in for hours. The seaside town of Cefalù is beautiful. Had a wonderful lunch overlooking the sea.

Lorenzo was a great and capable driver. The tour was self-guided which we enjoyed doing on our own at our own pace. He gave a recommendation of where to eat in Cefalu. We really enjoyed visiting all three towns and seeing the beautiful countryside and coast line!

Nothing! I understood it to be a guided trip. The driver dropped us off at two different locations and told us he would pick us later. We paid well over $500 Euros for a driver and not a guide. We could have hired a taxi and got a better experience. Your description of the the guided trip was very misleading, it was not guided. If you were to offer me a refund, I would happily accept it.

Our day was great with Danielle. He was prompt for our pickup. Very polite and accommodating. Very professional and personable. There wider wildfires that had major roads closed from Cefalu to Palermo. Some of his colleagues were stuck in traffic. He found backroads and we were back in Palermo with no problems. After he dropped us off. He found my phone in his vehicle and called the hotel immediately for me to pick it up. My phone has all of my cards and drivers license. Thank you!!!
