Took two day tours with Giacomo being the driver. One to Segesta, Erice and Trapani (8 people on this tour) and the other to Mt Etna and Taormina (5 people on this tour). My gripe is the exuberant cost I paid through Get Your Guide website. I paid 300% above the cost of these days trips. These prices are set by the partner companies to GYG, in this case it was Sicilian Holidays. For any solo travellers please be aware of this costing structure. The Trapani tour should not cost anymore than €60.00 and the Mt Etna day trip no more than €85.00. I paid €276.00 for this tour, not knowing this is available at a cheaper rate.
GYG states their price guarantees your tour will go ahead. Interesting as I booked another tour to Moreale and Cefalu which was contracted again to Sicilian Holidays and this was cancelled the day before. So DON'T be fooled by their statement of the tour being guaranteed.
Interesting when I discussed this pricing with Giacomo he stated it was nothing to do with Silician Holidays and that they would receive €90.00 of the €276.00 I paid. However after much consultation with GYG, I got written clarification that indeed Silician Holidays would have received the majority of the money and GYG only received a small commission. Yes Giacomo the truth does come out!
There were already people booked on these tours prior to my booking. These people paid the standard costs. I was astounded when I found out. If I had booked for a private tour, then I would expect to pay the higher costs. Seriously Silician Holidays you need to moderate your prices on GYG in accordance to how many people you have already booked on the individual tours. This is an absolute prejudice to solo travellers.
With regards to the tours. Transport was in a Fiat minivan, not a comfortable ride. Windows were very dirty. People kept opening the windows to take photos. I took other day trips in Mercedes minivans and they were much more comfortable.
Shop around travellers and do your homework in order to get the best experience at a reasonable cost.

Dear Mrs.Karen,
i'm very surprised to read your review, and your false words.
We don't organize the tour Monreale and Cefalù as you declare, and that's can happen from our website Sicilianholiday.net or in GetyourGuide website.
Probably you made confusion with another company.
Anyway I don't understand....when you have made the reservation via GYG, have you close your eyes?
You don't have see the prices? It's impossible because GYG explain very well the polityc of scaled prices.
In order to the Etna & Taormina tour published by GetyourGuide If you book for one person (as you), price is € 280,00, for 2 person price is € 280,00 (€ 140 per person), 3 person € 300,00 (€ 100 per person). etc.and before finale confirmation, you need to make different step, when the price is explained very well.
It's not true that the price is €90, each company in a free market can make a different price, it depends how many persons, high season, low season etc.
Now she will try to discredit our company by saying that the minivan was not confortable, which was dirty.
The glasses were dirty probably because the kid who was on the tour that day put their hands in the windows, but all of our cars came out clean before a service.
It reassures me that all the reviews we receive are positive and she is the only one who is lamenting this way.
Next time, before you book open your eyes and do not tell lies.
Greetings
Stefania

4 adulti e 4 chiassosi bambini che in 4 giorni vogliono visitare il più possibile la Sicilia.
Grazie a Giacomo questo desiderio si è avverato.
Abbiamo visitato Palermo, Monreale, Cefalù, Erice, Segesta, Trapani...
Grande professionalità e soprattutto pazienza del titolare.
Prezzi sicuramente convenienti rispetto a un noleggio auto o a singole escursioni da villaggio.
Molto comodo anche il servizio transfer da e per l'albergo.

Abbiamo prenotato una serie di escursioni con questa compagnia.
Etna e Taormina
Siracusa
Street food tour
Segesta Erice e le saline
Scopello
Tutto è andato oltre le nostre aspettative, dalla puntualità negli appuntamenti alla cordialità di Giacomo che ci ha accompagnati alla scoperta di questa meravigliosa isola, senza stress e spiegandoci i punti di vista di un Siciliano.
Non saprei dire cosa ci è piaciuto di più perchè tuttii posti meritano, ma sicuramente torneremo per scoprire altri luoghi e sicuramente prenoteremo ancora con Sicilianholidays

Io e mio padre abbiamo visitato la Sicilia in 7 giorni grazie alle splendide escursioni organizzate dalla sicilianholidays e in particolare da Giacomo. La Sicilia è indubbiamente meravigliosa ma quello che ha reso la nostra vacanza indimenticabile è stata proprio l'ospitalità di Giacomo e della sua famiglia. Ci siamo sentiti come a casa!

We did the Elim's Road tour, from Palermo to Segesta and Erice. If you are looking for an efficient way to get from one place to the other without renting a car, this works. If you are looking for a tour, or any information on the sites you are visiting, look elsewhere. We got NO information at all about the places we went - just dropped off at the gate and told when to come back. Had no idea what I was looking at in Segesta. The driver was friendly, certainly, but he was not a guide. The only good part of the tour was meeting the other travelers. I felt this was a terrible value at 60 Euro per person.

Dear Amanda,
thanks for your review.
you have purchased a tour with a driver escort English speaking, not with the guide, as specified in the confirmation email.
In addition we have provided the Book guide to make the visit in total autonomy.
I'm sorry for your complaint, but fortunately, our customers reward us for their positive experience with Sicilianholidays.
Best Regards
Giacomo

Ciao! L'intenzione di partecipare ad un'escursione a San Vito lo Capo, Palermo, Monreale - organizzata dalla struttura che ospitava la mia famiglia e quella della mia amica - era ben condivisa da tutta la compagnia... Immaginavamo la meraviglia di trovarci in acque cristalline, visitare il Chiostro di Monreale, la cappella Palatina eecc ecc. La sorpresa è stata essere accompagnati da un'autista così cordiale e disponibile che ci ha alleggerito la parte meno piacevole della giornata (soprattutto x chi soffre di mal d'auto). E così la mattina seguente ci siamo accordati per essere "guidati" anche verso Monreale e Palermo. Piacevole ed indimenticabile esperienza. Dalla scoperta dello stile arabo normanno alle......pianelle assaggiate in una friggitoria particolare; dove Francesco (il nostro accompagnatore) è riuscito a far gustare delle melanzane panate al figlio della mia amica .....assolutamente contrario alle verdure.... Ecco siamo rientrati a casa con allegri e personali ricordi. Un solo rimpianto sarei andata volentieri a Cefalù, purtroppo non siamo riusciti. Chissà ci sarà un'altra occasione? La prossima volta lascio la mia cara Reflex a casa. Lo prometto ...così eviterò di farmi aspettare. Anche se Francesco non trasmetteva l'idea di fretta. Grazie e lieto proseguimento. Donatella

The trip to Sicily was perfect and we saw so much in 8 days. Giacomo organized a wonderful trip for us, booking hotels, all our tours and guides at the historical sites. It was a perfect trip and he made the planning so easy. We were 3 couples and all agreed it was a wonderful trip.
I wish to commend our driver, Francesco Venturella. He was so helpful, friendly, and courteous, He was always willing to make last minute changes for us which was great. He was with us the entire time and was a joy to have as our driver
Giacomo planned a trip to a local farmhouse for a cooking demonstration and lunch that was wonderful as was the winery we visited. I would highly recommend using this tour group.

Abbiamo organizzato 2 giorni di tour il 16/5/15 e il 17/5/15 da Palermo per le mie sorelle e i nostri mariti (10 persone) - per Segesta, Noto, Piazza Armerina e Agrigento, Giacomo è stato molto professionista a organizzare, tutto è andato benissimo. Abbiamo avuto 2 autisti meravigliose - Francesco e Michael sono state tutte e due bravissime, molto puntuale e divertente e ci siamo fatto tante risate. Grazie Francesco e Michael per una vacanza indimenticabile. Quando veniamo la prossima volta sicuramente organizzeremo la nostra vacanza tramite Sicilian Tours.

Ho organizzato per la famiglia Giacalone composta da 12 persone un viaggio a Palermo e dintorni appoggiandomi alla SICILIANHOLIDAYS.
Il Sig. Giacomo Verna, titolare della stessa è stato impeccabile e oltre a cullarci organizzando dei tour fantastici ha fatto rivivere ad un siciliano come me, emozioni e sensazioni che mi hanno portato indietro negli anni.
A quanti pensassero di organizzare una bella vacanza in Sicilia, consiglio di appoggiarsi al Sig. Giacomo che con la Sua competenza accompagnata da una grande verve farà vivere una vacanza da sogno.
Aggiungo che la qualità prezzo è eccellente.

Sicilian Tours with their best asset, the driver Francesco Venturella, provided an excellent day out from Palermo to Syracuse. Francesco was punctual, courteous and a safe driver. He was able to point us to the best places, which saved time and gave excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
