Overview

Visit of Arab-Norman town Monreale, with its amazing view panoramic overlooking the famous Conca d Oro and entire city of Palermo. In this town the art and architecture reached the pinnacle of its glory with the Dome launched in 1174 by William II and represent the scene from the Old and New Testaments all in golden mosaics.
Visit of Cefalù, the town is one of the major tourist attractions in the region and every year it attracts thousands of tourists from all parts of the world, in summer the population can triple, making the main streets in the country crowded. So there is then a youthful atmosphere and a lively nightlife.
Visit of Castelbuono, the construction of its Castle began in 1316, by order of Count Francesco I of Ventimiglia, over the ruins of the ancient Byzantine town of Ypsigro, Hence its original name, Castello del buon aere (Castle of good air).

Of Greek foundation, the city evidently derived its name from its position on a lofty and precipitous rock, forming a headland which projecting into the sea and stunning beaches of fine sand.

Great tour for our group of 6!

We had a great day! We had to cut it short because we got into port late so we only made it for to Monreale and Cefalu, but it was a lovely day and Dario was a great driver.
Excellent tour !

Delightful tour of all the sites with Marco !
He was very professional and arrived with a sparkling clean Mercedes sedan and was ours to drive with for a whole day.
He gave us the histories in detail on Cefalù and on Monreale, a UNESCO heritage site.
Highly recommend him !
Must see sights in Sicilia.

Loved the visit to Cefalu and especially Monreale. So much history in both places, possibly one of the highlights from our trip. Bus included 8 passagers but unfortunately no comments from driver so you basically get a comfortable drive to those two locations for the price
The tour was very...

The tour was very enjoyable. Two comments.
- although we had booked “English” the guide had very limited vocabulary and was thus not very vocal.
- the timing at Cefalu overlapped when all shops are shut during the afternoon. Consider changing the timing sequence of the three towns on the tour to adjust for this.
