This was a wonderful experience. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgable, and we really felt that we had done something special and unique. Cefalu is beautiful but the chance to go up and up and up into the mountains and see the country from this incredible perspective was really special. We felt really well cared for, there was a delicious lunch and it was a great morning!

Our guide Emanuele showed us the reason why true Sicilians love Sicily!! He was so kind and friendly and passionate about this island it was almost impossible not to fall in love with this old school way of life. Take this tour and you will gain a new appreciation for simple living in a beautiful place. Great views and a great lunch in the countryside. Emanuele was the best. GRAZIE MILLE!!
After beautiful Greek and Roman sites, busy Palermo and beautiful beaches, we explored the real Sicily. On roads you normally won't drive into the woods of the National Parks with the Sicilian wildlife and amazing views. Two guides who love their IJsland and lunch with you at a very special place. Thanks guys. Worth every penny.
The views on the trip were fantastic…be sure and have a mutually agreed upon pick up location before the day of your trip. We only saw sheep and cows…the guide did not communicate equally with all the members of the trip.. The lunch served was delicious…we did expect more information during the trip about the wildlife and greater insight into the political and natural history of the region.
Without a doubt, venture out of town and discover the real Sicily. This is an experience that's worth every penny, and I only wish it lasted hours longer. Emanuele's expertise was awe-inspiring, as he educated us about Pollina's medieval town, cork tree cultivation, and the distinctive bells for cows, sheep, and goats. His exceptional driving skills were matched by his vast knowledge, which enabled him to answer every question from our group with confidence.
Amazing experience. Laura is a prudent driver and showed us great spots we would have never gone to on our own. Excellent lunch too ! We recommend !!
Emanuele is a wonderful guide for this area between the Madonie and Nebrodi national parks. You can ask him all about the flora and fauna and he will also tell you about the people who have lived here over the years. We saw wild boar, drove through olive groves, past vineyards and cork woods. We stopped at two points to take in the amazing views and listen to the silence, broken only by the sound of cow bells. Emanuele and Charlotte provided us with a great lunch of local produce, some of which they produce themselves. Emanuele is a thoughtful and interesting host.
This was a really fun way to explore a different aspect of Sicilia. we had a lot of fun! I love nature and this was perfect
A brilliant 5 hour trip with Emanuele. The mountain and coastal views are amazing. Lots of animals sighted including a solo eagle hunting and a pair of eagles flying high above in the clouds, plus wild boar and, of course, cows. Lunch was lovely too - simple, seasonal local food from the forest at the mountain chalet. Our guide Emanuele was from the area and had great knowledge of the history and biodiversity of the Madonie region and of the mountain top villages we saw and visited. Highly recommended if you want to see more of the less touristy side of Sicily !
Emanuele was an amazing guide. We got to see Sicily in its natural state. Extraordinary beauty...wild boar...eagles. The lunch break was epic! The food was garden fresh and the wine was exceptional. We highly recommend this tour.
Had the best time venturing the mountains, views were amazing. Super comfy jeep despite the bumpy roads, stop off at view points and lots of info too. Trip ended with a stay at chalet with food and drinks, Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a lovely time exploring the Sicilian countryside with Emmanuelle. The views were incredible and Emmanuelle was very knowledgeable and interesting. The lunch was very nice and came along with local wine and limoncello which was lovely! We would definitely recommend this to get away from the hustle and bustle of the village and seaside.. it was very peaceful and beautiful :)
Amazing experience that takes you to places you would not reach with your rental car. A great trip to the beautiful back-country of northern sicily with super nice guides who have a great knowledge of Sicily and in particular the wilder areas of the northern coast.
What an awesome experience. My wife an I enjoyed every moment of our tour through the mountains. As did our new Belgian friend who was also on the tour. Definitely a must do trip if you're staying in Cefalu. Our guide Emmanuel was very informative and has the ultimate respect for nature. You can truly sense the passion he has for the land and for his culture of working with the natural landscape of the mountains. The views of the mountains all the way down to the sea as well as some of the towns are just absolutely breathtaking. The chalet where we stopped for lunch was charming. A nice lunch with some local ingredients that you can taste the freshness of immediately from the first bite. And don't be surprised to experience a true "sicilian roadblock" with some of the animals that roam freely among the mountains
This was a brilliant time. Our guide, Emmanuel, showed true passion & pride in the Sicilian wildlife and the local culture. We saw a passel of wild boar and a trip of mountain goats. At one point we stopped in our tracks as a tortoise was crossing. We were also fortunate to stand in this peaceful spot and watch the sunset over the mountains. Overall, would highly recommend this tour. In fact, it felt less like a tour and more like a visit to a friend who lived deep in the mountains. Excellent food, drinks & conversation.
Great day out on the Nebrodi with Emmanuel who was a great host. Besides the off road experience Emmanuel was also very knowledgeable on the history and culture of the surrounding area. It was then topped up with a great lunch in their own mountain retreat.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly and enthusiastic. Beautiful views of the island that would not be possible to see, in my opinion, if done without the aid of a tour guide. Dinner at the lodge in the mountains was also great, amazing view of the sea, great local food and wine and they have a dog who is very friendly. The only thing to note, I would not recommend this trip to people with back problems, as due to the nature of the terrain the jeep ride is a bit rough in places.
What a nice tour! You get to see so much more of Sicily then just the nice coast! And the guides have so much to tell about that Places you are going and about Sicily really nice
It was a really nice adventure. Nice view, good food, a lot of animals to see and a very personal and friendly tour guide. This is definitely not possible, if you try to explore this area alone.
We thought we could drive the jeep ourselves and that this would be in a group. Nice, rough ride. Shorter than indicated. Point for improvement: set up a sign at the meeting point. Now it was very unclear.
Wonderful experience on dirt roads through the nature and mountains of Sicily. Top guide who speaks good English and tells you everything throughout the tour and prepares a delicious lunch in a prime location in the mountains. We were picked up at the campsite and our adventure began. In short, a must for people who want to see something more like the coast and the busy tourist spots. Silence, space and tranquility on this beautiful tour.
Thank you - super great authentic safari tour in the mountains with beautiful views, wild animals, fresh mountain berries, fresh mountain water and good food - gladly again - thank you Emanuele
Guide sympathique,belle découverte de l arrière pays et petite dégustation locale. Agréable moment, trop vite passé.
Very good experience Emmanuel knew how to put us at ease. He was very friendly, showed us places inaccessible on our own. He knows the sector perfectly and provided us with a lot of essential information. We even did the boat activity with him, it was great. I recommend +++
The jeep tour is perfect for getting to know nature in this part of the island. Our guides were well versed and provided us with information and answers to our questions. Breathtaking views are guaranteed. The end with small but fine, typical Sicilian food rounded off the tour optimally.
Amazing experience, great tour in wilderness and off road. We loved it and recommend! Thanks to our hosts!
The tour was really fun and was an all-round beautiful day. We drove through a great landscape and stopped at various points to enjoy the panorama. The guide explained the local flora and fauna. We felt safe throughout the tour thanks to the prudent driving. One of the many highlights was the homemade lunch in the comfortable forest hut. Over pasta and red wine you could review the tour. Thank you very much, Emanuele. We had a really nice day!
Unser Guide Emanuel war sehr, sehr gut und hat uns in dieser sehr persönlichen Tour vieles interessantes, wissenswertes über Sizilien und seine Natur und das Leben der Menschen auf Sizilien vermittelt
Jeep trip to discover a truly beautiful part of Sicily. Emanuele nice and prepared, even a good cook, lunch in the chalet excellent with delicious local products. Surely we will do other excursions with them.
Thanks for the nice trip! We were picked up at the hotel, which is quite pleasant. It was a nice trip with occasional stops to take pictures. We got plenty of explanation about the area. In the mountain chalet we were very friendly and we were served a super tasty lunch. We could enjoy the peace and beautiful nature accompanied by a musical interlude of crickets. After a limoncello as a baggie, we continued our trip and were safely dropped back at the hotel. An absolute must!!! Carla, francesco and Hilde
A half day of fun and adventure. Manuele and his colleague picked us up at the Pollina Resort for an off-road trip. Immediately Manu, with his Indian hat Jones welcomed us together with his very nice colleague and accompanied us in this beautiful adventure. A real crazy hike in the middle of the mountains on dirt roads!!!! He taught us so much and made us take a nice walk in nature. Lunch at the shelter really Top together with the legendary Rain (their Dog ) What about..... between falcons, ancient trees, beautiful temples of the wonderful Greek Roman History immersed in a Spectacular scenery, it was a wonderful trip to say the least. Thank you for ♥️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Très bonne excursion, guide sympatique et disponible. Circuit intéressant et beaux paysages vus durant toute la balade.
Beautiful day spent with our guide Emanuele who has no shortage of explanations about the history of this beautiful country. The meal was excellent. We were able to taste the typical Sicilian antipasti. Special mention: he picked us up at our B&B in the mountains of Gibilmanna! I recommend 100%
Emanuele was super friendly and professional! I went there with my girlfriend and will definitely return for more excursions. The landscape was really suggestive, to think of having places so full of culture and beauty directly here in Sicily excited me. Also the lunch was spectacular!!! If you want to do something different I recommend it!!!
In August we made several excursions with EMANUELE!! What about it? It is a perfect guide and a wonderful company! Perfect organization and always available! I can not wait to return to make other wonderful excursions!! Try and you will not regret it!!!
For nature lovers and not only, it is a very special and suggestive experience. Breathtaking views aboard a truly mountain safari off-road vehicle! The people who accompanied us on this trip are special and excellent guides to visit these territories surrounded by greenery. The chalet is one of a kind! Super recommended!!
We had fun and visited the Nebrodi and Madonie surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly and helpful
We were in January. 2 couples and 2 children, one of them not even 2 years .. and we had a great time. From all points of view! Emanuele is a great host, ready to answer any questions .. from all points of view. The places are terrific. Nobody or almost knows what’s a little more about... ☺️ definitely to be repeated. Not just with family, but with friends.
Everything perfect and great! To repeat!! Thanks again for the wonderful experience! I will share with everyone your hospitality and your exceptional Service
Wonderful hike led by Emanuele, very friendly, kind and sunny. We made two trips, one by jeep to discover magnificent places and one by boat where we could admire a small part of the Sicilian coast with its crystal clear waters in which we stopped to take a small bath. To be redone absolutely! Highly recommended
An excursion that I recommend to everyone! I did it with friends and I really enjoyed and enriched myself. Then Emanuele guides her... what about... nothing more wild... I can only be grateful to him for having amazed me with beautiful landscapes, in the silence of nature and in a really friendly atmosphere. An experience to do and, for me, to repeat because this slice of Sicily, between Madonie and Nebrodi, I really think will surprise me once again.
