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.

We had a great day with Umberto. He arrived early in his very comfortable and clean van. We spoke of many things during the day - he shared information about Palermo and all the other areas we drive through and visited.
Castelbuono was beautiful and fascinating - we had some food tasting and supported the local economy - the manna paste is soooo good. We visited the castle and learnt all about its history - so interesting. The local market was on while we were there so Umberto explained some of the foods that were unfamiliar to us - which we were grateful for.
We then drove to Cefalu - which being August was crazy busy - but had a good time wandering the streets of the old town - and supporting the local economy some more 😀
Overall a wonderful and interesting day made all the better because of Umberto’s kind and friendly nature. We highly recommend this trip to see outside the city of Palermo.

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!

We loved our day with Humberto! He was early to pick up and his car was spotlessly clean. He then drove us through Palermo in o Castelbueno, and then onto Cefalú. It was truly such an amazing day. Humberto led us through these amazing places personally, pointing out and sharing all sorts of history along the way. He was an excellent guide and as a bonus for me, shared many amazing Sicilian cooking recipes! A day we won’t ever forget!

We were a bit short on time due to our ship leaving at 16:30 but our driver was able to adapt and custom our itinerary so we could see the best places. Very friendly, capable and the car was very nice. I would highly recommend this private tour.

My husband and I went on this trip to explore Cefalù and Castelbuono on our first trip to Sicily. We booked the trip because I’ve always wanted to explore Cefalù but on this trip we only had a little bit of time. It is even more stunning in person than in pictures.
The real treasure was our driver and guide, Umberto, though. He was so nice and knowledgeable. We would not have had the same experience without him. Would recommend this to anyone.

We had an amazing experience on our excursion! I would highly recommend the full day excursion to Castelbuono & Cefalu. Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable on the region. He gave us wonderful background on the Palermo area after he picked us up and then at each stop. He showed us big tourist places, but was still 'local' enough to take us to smaller shops with authentic experiences. Umberto spoke good English and conversation was easy. Thank you so much for showing us your cities! We'll be back!!
