Palermo: Medieval Castles Of Caccamo & Cefalù. Small Group Tour

THIS WAS A VERY well organised tour,Tatiana quality fabulous we saw all and more than promised the bus was clean and ac worked perfectly, we highly recommend booking

Our tour through Cefalù and Caccamo was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. Both towns were breathtaking in completely different ways — Cefalù with its coastal beauty and charm, and Caccamo with its deep history, quiet magic, and incredible views. What made the experience especially meaningful was our guide, Tatiana!! She was incredibly insightful and deeply knowledgeable about Sicilian history, culture, and local traditions. Her warmth and upbeat energy immediately made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and connected to the places we were visiting. She brought every street, castle, and story to life in such a magical way. For our family, visiting Caccamo was especially emotional and memorable because it is the town our ancestors (Ciaccio’s of Los Angeles) immigrated from. Seeing the homes and hearing its history felt deeply personal, and Tatiana understood the significance of that connection. She helped turn what could have been just a sightseeing tour into a meaningful family experience we will never forget ❤️. We left feeling inspired, connected to our roots, and even more in love with Sicily. Highly recommend this tour and especially Tatiana to anyone wanting a heartfelt and fun experience!

What a wonderful day! Our fantastic host Tatiana guided our small group through the castle of Caccamo and the historically important places of Cefalu. The picturesque coastal town is beautiful as is the cathedral. We also had free time in Cefalu to spend as we pleased. Tatiana also answered all our questions and was very helpful all around. It was a very memorable experience and my husband & I highly recommend!

Tatiana was our guide and we found her to be very knowledgable and charming throughout the tour. The sites and history were amazing and added so much to our vacation experience. She also was excellent with pre and tour messaging regarding restaurants and shops based on our interests. The driver was safe and she was charming and skilled in managing a diverse group with different backgrounds so we all ‘bonded’ during a long tour. My wife and I recommend this tour. Grazie mille Tatiana!

Tatiana and Giuseppe were absolutely wonderful—truly some of the kindest people we’ve met. This was, without a doubt, my favorite day in Sicily. We came with a very special goal: to help my grandmother see where her own grandmother was from. Tatiana and Giuseppe went completely above and beyond, even asking locals in Caccamo to help us track down the address listed on her birth certificate. Although the exact address no longer exists, their effort and genuine care meant so much to us. The visit to Caccamo Castle was absolutely beautiful, and their knowledge made the experience even more meaningful. I would recommend this tour to anyone—highly, highly recommend!

We essentially had an intimate and wonderful tour with Alessandra, who gave us interesting information during our walking tour of Cefalu and at the Caccamo Castle. She made great suggestions of where to shop and eat and took time to explain local delicacies and artisan wares - which is what we wanted and loved. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour or Alessandra! She also does food tours in Palermo.

Alessandra was an excellent guide. She made sure the tour focused on our interests. Joseph was our driver. He always made sure that we were comfortable. He made a recommendation for us to visit an olive oil manufacturer and got a personal tour. A wonderful day of making memories in Sicily.

It was an amazing place to go and the guide was very professional and went out of her way in every respect

A great tour with a great guide. There were only 4 of us. The two sites were really interesting and the guide gave just the right amount of detail, so we didn’t feel overwhelmed. It was a full day with a delicious Sicilian snack stop en route to Cefalù, the town itself being really picturesque. Watch out for most shops shutting at 1pm. We had the Caccoma castle virtually to ourselves. Again, very picturesque. A highly recommended day tour.

Alessandra was wonderful. Warm and knowledgeable and funny. Cefalu was a fabulous place to visit. The castle of caccamo was interesting. Many steps.

Alessandra is a professional guide with smiley face and positive energy. She accommodated our needs and made some good restaurants and shopping suggestions. I highly recommend her to anyone coming to Cefalu and Caccamo.

Our tour with Alexandra was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She has a true passion for what she does, and it shines through in the way she shares history, culture, and little hidden gems that you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. Alexandra kept the tour engaging and fun, tailoring the experience perfectly to our group’s interests. She was patient, attentive, and made sure everyone felt included. Her storytelling brought the sites to life, and her sense of humor made the day even more enjoyable.

This was a wonderful experience! We were looking for a little something different as we already had something booked to take us to Monreale and most tours to Cefalù included this stop. The tour with Tatiana was unique with a guided tour of Cefalù and then lots of free time, plus the additional stop of Caccamo with the medieval castle which was very different and lots of history. The view from the top was beautiful and it was nice to see how excited Tatiana was to share her knowledge with us. Cefalù was so beautiful and while busy our start time was early which was smart, so we hit the peak sites before the crowds and then our free time we could wander as we wanted. Enough time to swim for a bit or get a nice lunch- we chose to shop and have a lovely drink overlooking the sea. Giuseppe was our driver and he was safe, professional and helpful. We ended up being the only two who booked for that day but they still ran the tour which was so lovely- would 10/10 recommend for 2 great stops, wonderful history and enthusiasm for Sicily and the area in general. Tatiana even gave us some wonderful dinner and drink recommendations that we can’t wait to check out. Thank you!

She was extremely informative, went above and beyond , Recommended great sites and activities, and even lined up for us!!

Tour of Cerfalu was fantastic. The Castillo di Carrabo not so much. Cerfalu was beautiful and so much to see. A tour of this amazing village alone was great. The tour of Castillo di Carrabo was not worth the time or the steep walk up. If the total trip was to Cerfalu we would have been happier, especially if it included lunch. Since it did not include lunch the tour overall is way too expensive.

This was one of the best tours we have ever taken! Tatianna was a wonderful tour guide and gave us personal attention. She was so knowledgeable about Cefalù and the Caccano castle. She shared with us about the history of Sicily and was available to answered any questions both before and after the tour. When we return to Sicily, we will definitely schedule tours with Tatianna.

Tatiana and Giuseppe (driver) were terrific. Tatiana is warm, accommodating, and shares all her extensive knowledge about Sicily, cephalu and caccamo castle. She is very passionate about Sicily. She showed us lots of hidden gems in Cefalu and caccamo castle. She also recommended amazing things for Palermo. Even though it was a rainy day Tatiana filled our excursion with sunshine! She is a Sicilian gem !

This tour exceeded our expectations ! This private tour was organised by Rainerie travel in a very good condition Mercedes sedan. But the best part was the tour guide Tatiana who was so knowledgeable, passionate and kind. In our so many years of experience of taking private tours all over the world she definitely stands out. Also our driver Josefa who was ever smiling and shared with us his knowledge of cooking Italian cuisine. This tour itself is fantastic, Cefalu is so beautiful….. I would surely recommend this tour if you are in palermo and want to experience Sicily.

Very good tour of Cefalu and Caccamo. Tanya is a good guide to these two sites and Giuseppe is an excellent driver.

Our guide, Tatiana, could not have been nicer or more solicitous of our needs. We were in Cefalu and Caccamo during the off-season so there were fewer shops open and it was generally quiet, but lovely. Both castles were spectacular. It is a long drive to and from Palermo so be prepared for a long day. These two destinations are worth seeing and Taotravel is highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time! The guide and driver helped make the experience a great one. Tatiana's knowledge of the area and worldly perspective gave the tour relevance as well as credibility. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend!

The trip was what we were looking for, strolling around the town, the beach in Cefalű, and visiting Castello di Caccamo. Appreciate Tatiana's service and her knowledge. We thrilly enjoy the trip!

Well planned tour. Thanks to our travel guide for the great day. The Tour is very relaxing Cefalù was amazing. Castle of Caccamo is worth visiting. Highly reccomended

If I could leave negative stars I would. The operators canceled at nearly the last minute and gave no reason. We had booked this trip months ago and are extremely disappointed.

We had this trip yesterday and it was really worth it!! We departured from Piazza Politeama in Palermo and went to Cefalù, we visited the city with the guide, who told us very interesting things, then we went to Caccamo a very pretty place with a beautiful castle which we visited too. The driver was also really good and, with the guide, they did a great job! Don't forget to get the granita!

This trip has been awesome! We never went in italy before, but this journey made us discover a beautiful part of it: Sicily

Spectacular trip! The scenery was spectacular. Cefalù is a lovely town. Our travel guide was great. The whole esperience was well organezed. I would to recommend it.

Amazing piece of history close to Palermo, Cefalù and Caccamo are outstanding and a must-see in Sicily
