Fabulous tour to Castelbuono and Cefalù from Palermo.

Published on Nov, 2024

An excellent day tour with Umberto the operator from Palermo to Castelbuono and Cefalu. Picked from our hotel, Umberto was an excellent host who explained so much to us about living in Palermo and Italy. He then took us on a walking tour through Castelbuono which was a highlight for us. Spending a few free hours in Cefalu, we found lunch and drove the coast road home to our hotel.

Great full day tour near Napoli

Our driver was great. Very informative,on time, nice clean vehicle and good English. Highly recommend Christian for tours of Castelbuono and Cefalu.

Walking in the Steps of My Grandfather

Published on May, 2024

I booked this excursion mainly to visit Castelbuono, the home town of my Grandfather. Cristian greeted us at our hotel and we sat comfortably in his van for the next hour and a half as he narrated our trek into the Madonie Mountains. The visit exceeded our expectations as we stepped back in time and visited attractions of note including the castle, and its chapel. Cristian's knowledge of the area and his familiarity with the townsfolk had us at ease as we learned while we saw. A walk through the streets of town and shopping at Fiasconaro completed our time in Castelbuono. On the return trip, Cristian made a stop in Cefalu and allowed us a couple hours to meander through the many streets of shops and visit the Duomo. Lunch by the seaside completed an amazing day. We highly recommend this excursion.

Georgio was a terrific guide. We were able to customize our day to make the kids happy and enjoy the rich culture of the cities.

Worth every euro to have a splendid day!

Published on Jun, 2023

Fantastic way to spend a leisurely day! Umberto communicated via WhatsApp and TripAdvisor easily before event, arrived in nice clean comfortable vehicle, and was a joy to converse with all day. He pointed out some things in Palermo and then we headed to Castelbuono and it’s Village to try pannetone, nut butters, sips of happy hour type refreshments, and then he guided us through the village and castle with a lot of interesting information. He also involved us in the conversation which was wonderful (instead of just a one way knowledge train). Then we went to Cefalu where he oriented us in the city, gave us some suggestions, and set us free to use our time as we wished. We are a seaside lunch, walked the boardwalk, and saw the Cathedral with some light shopping time before going back to the meeting point and heading home. My mom and I had a wonderful time!
