SAT is way better than some other local companies

Published on Jul, 2023

We were happy to get on this tour after booking the night before - the company we had originally booked with cancelled at short notice and we were scrambling to find another company. (And it seems the CbyS company had messed others around too) With SAT not a problem, they could pick us up near our hotel in Giardini Naxos and we could then pay on the bus. Hurrah! The guide was excellent and we felt that we were in good hands the entire day (our guide also spoke German which was a bonus). The tour itself is long bus stretches and the time in Palermo seemed relatively short but it was good to see another part of Sicily. We particularly enjoyed Cefalu.

Enjoyable and informative.

Published on Jul, 2023

It was a long day but very interesting and informative. The guide and the local guide in Palermo were excellent as was the driver.

Long day trip to Palermo but worth it.

Published on Apr, 2018

Our day started out promptly at 6.45am from Taormina bus terminal, easy to find. Our driver Roberto and tour guide Santo were a great team: a good driver and a well-informed guide who spoke fluent English, French and German. The drive across Sicily is a complete contrast from Mount Etna and different towns, at the start, to rolling fields, plains, olive groves, orange and lemon orchards and fields of artichokes before arriving in Palermo. Santo at all times kept us well informed of the history of Sicily and we stopped for coffee and a comfort break after 90 minutes. The tour of Palermo was well organized, although we did end up in the middle of a local demonstration with flag waving, speeches and banners, all very safe and well behaved such lovely people. Santo new all there was to know about the history of various places of interest and spent his time with the group and answering different individual questions. The market place walk through was a great way to see Sicilian life up close and try some of the local produce. Restaurant 59 across from Teatro Massimo was perfect for our lunch before the return taking in Cafalu with its beautiful church in the square and a walk around the town and its narrow streets onto the beach. No hesitation in recommending the very good SAT tours company for whatever trip you decide to do.

My second tour to Palermo and Cefalu

Published on Mar, 2018

I enjoyed a great excursion across the Sicilian country side with the safe driving of Pippo and the historical briefing of Santo who made this excursion to lovely Palermo and Cefalu an exciting event during my Sicilian holiday. Highly recommended.

4 Kathleens meet on Palermo and Cefalu tour!

Published on Feb, 2018

Our group of 11 passengers started out promptly at 7am from Taormina. Our driver Pippo and tour guide Santo were a great team: a safe and cautious driver and a well-informed guide who spoke fluent English, French and German . We had an amazing drive across Sicily from Catania to Palermo: views of Mount Etna giving way to magnificent olive, orange and lemon groves, fields of artichokes, sheep and cows grazing lazily on the plains, all combined with various hues of green. We then toured Palermo, first by bus then on foot,ending with a visit of the colourful market. The walk was welcome after the bus tour. At lunch, at the well-chosen Restaurant 59 across from Teatro Massimo, I realized that I not only shared the same name as our dining companion but so did 2 other women at neighbouring tables. How likely is it that out of 5 women, 4 would have the same name? The visit to Cefalu was short but a good stop before our long drive back to Taormina. All in all, a most delightful tour, which I would highly recommend!
