EXCELLENT Based on 70 reviews Posted on e b2025-10-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Time for Sicily is like having magic in your pocket. We are seasoned travelers having been to over 30 countries traveling mostly with minimal help. But, for our trip to Sicily, we really wanted an insider to help us with understanding and arranging our 17 day travel through Sicily. That included trains, buses, taxis, and private drivers as well as organizing our itinerary with where to go, how to get there, how long to spend at each stop , and what not to miss. Of course, there was a lot of input from us on our thoughts which made for a great collaboration. Then there is the formal itinerary Time for Sicily prepares with real time links to the sites, restaurants, transportation, places to do laundry and more. And, ever so helpful is the detail on train station locations snd access and whether you can walk to/from with your luggage. AND, while on the trip and using WhatsApp, whenever we had questions, Time for Sicily was there with practical feedback, making phone calls for us, and so much more. We never felt alone ever. Time for Sicily is fee based which is wonderful. We paid a very reasonable flat fee for their expertise and that’s it. Time for Sicily helps you with all aspects of your trip including lodging, transportation, etc. with no extra charge. We highly recommend them!Posted on Stan Gowin2025-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Time for Sicily helped us have a spectacular short stay on this wonderful island. My wife and I wanted to spend five days in Sicily in September, 2025 as part of a European trip that also involved three cruises. We visited Sicily in 2022 and wanted to experience places in Sicily we didn’t see then. We wanted some history, great food, delightful scenery, experiences where we would interact with Sicilians and travel on trains. We found Time for Sicily through the web site they’ve prepared describing traveling around the island by train. After filling out some details about our intended Sicilian travel to Sicily, we were contacted by Francesco Messina, who was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, thorough and understanding of my traveling requirements and objectives as a blind traveler. Our limited time in Sicily plus the fact we booked lodging at the Villa Neri hotel off the beaten path on the island, required a compact and cohesive travel plan. My sighted wife did not want to do any driving so arranging all of the necessary transportation links for our stay was paramount. Francesco worked with us to prioritize our interests and suggested options that we would not have considered on our own. From the time we landed at the Catania airport until we left Sicily five days later we were comfortable, delighted, well fed, challenged and informed. We met many friendly and helpful Sicilians, from our daily drivers, our tour guides and people including wonderful staff in the great places where we dined. Francesco arranged all of our transportation, restaurant bookings, personal guided tours of Catania and Syracuse and a fantastic cooking class at an organic olive farm. He was always available when we had questions or when we ran into minor glitches requiring his advice or assistance to circumvent. His concern, excellent communication skills and deep knowledge of Sicily made us feel comfortable and welcome every minute of our time in Sicily. His choice of tour guides made our visits to downtown Catania and to Syracuse delightful. Lucia, our guide to Syracuse was especially helpful to me, she provided guidance and information that brought the archeological ruins in the town to life, even when I couldn’t see them. Francesco and Time for Sicily gave us the best five days of travel we have experienced. We are looking forward to visiting Italy and re-visiting Sicily in the future with the help of Francesco and Time for Sicily or Time for italy.Posted on Harris Collie2025-10-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Time for Sicily guide is wonderful, with all the maps with the places to go, where to eat and where to stay, it was a completely invaluable guide to our trip to Sicily The format was ideal, I had it in pdf format on my iPad. I used Notability to view it and make notes, so much easier than carrying bulky books although I am afraid I didn’t experiment with the interactive part. I cannot over emphasise how useful this guide is. One could plan ahead with timings of walking distances to stations and hotels. Extremely useful tips like: Catania Airport is a 13 minute walk to the station and how to get the bus up to Taormina from the station. It is concise clear with just the facts and it must have taken a lot of research, I cannot recommend it highly enough. If I would suggest any guide to Sicily this would be it.Posted on Tim Grant2025-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We contacted Time for Sicily with our tentative plans for advice and guidance. After our phone call with Francesco and Paola the trip was clarified to perfection. We have day to day plans, sites to visit with time of day, travel alternatives, accommodation and regional food specialties. We would not have been able to develop such an exciting and relaxing schedule without their assistance. No hidden costs with full disclosure. We have 100% confidence recommending their services for anyone planning a visit to Sicily. We are now very excited about our trip knowing we have been looked after by the BEST.

As people who love to travel, especially to Italy, we planned a trip to Sicily. During the preparation we bumped into the website 'Time for Sicily'. First we could download an e-book. After this we were invited in a very friendly way to make contact in person. These contacts were very well organised and fruitful. A big 'thank you' to Francesco and his team. Sicilia is a project for 3 years: this year we made a round trip through Eastern Sicily. Next year we would like to go to the western part, and finally also to the Eolian islands. We surely will come back to 'Time for Sicily'.Posted on Bernadette Kelly2025-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I downloaded a couple of free guides and am especially interested in the rail itinerary. Francesco was very helpful with suggestions if I needed more detailed planning.Posted on AS Hudson2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic e-book. Great tips for planning your trip. Everything is in one place with links so you don’t have to go to multiple websites. Highly recommend.Posted on Kathy LaLonde2024-12-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent ebook with so much good information. Highly recommend using this as a planning guide if you want to tour Sicily. The author will also do a custom tour if you like, he is knowledgeable and friendly.Posted on Esther Mondlak Maya2024-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Teníamos en mente un recorrido por Sicilia, pero necesitábamos ayuda para aterrizar el plan en el lugar. Queríamos visitar tanto la parte oeste como la parte del este de la isla y un par de lugares al norte y al sur. Mucho territorio por recorrer. Buscando algún operador local, Time for Sicily apareció en la web. Encontramos en esa compañía exactamente lo que necesitábamos: asesores de viaje nacidos en Sicilia y amantes y conocedores de su lugar natal. Aparte de ofrecer guías digitales para hacer el viaje por cuenta propia, ofrecían también otra opción: ayuda para diseñar un recorrido a la medida y para la organización de los detalles. Time for Sicily rebasó en todo momento nuestras expectativas: en cuanto al itinerario, nos ayudaron a refinar el plan que teníamos. Tuvieron un excelente oído para escuchar gustos y necesidades y hacer los ajustes entre todo ello y el presupuesto. En distintos momentos de la preparación intervinieron con el consejo adecuado para esquivar dificultades con aerolíneas, evitaron que traslapáramos lugares donde veríamos cosas parecidas y mejor hicieron sugerencias sobre lo que no debíamos de perdernos, escuchando siempre nuestras preferencias. Nos ofrecieron opciones de hospedaje para cada lugar, lugares siempre bien localizados dentro de presupuesto. Visitamos cada ciudad con guías locales con los que Time for Sicily trabaja, guías con preparación académica que hicieron una enorme diferencia en nuestra apreciación de los lugares. Nos proveyeron de transportación con compañías confiables, sugerencias y reservaciones en restaurantes, recomendaciones de vuelos y mucho más. En algún momento intentamos por nuestra cuenta comprar, sin éxito, boletos para una función de teatro griego en Siracusa. No lo logramos hacer por la página del INDA en internet. En Time for Sicily los compraron por nosotros. Estuvieron pendientes acompañando cada detalle tanto en la etapa de preparación como durante el transcurso del viaje y en todo momento en comunicación por Whatsapp. El trabajo que realizaron en Time for Sicily, tanto Paola como Francesco, fue impecable en todos sentidos. ¡Necesitaríamos una Paola y un Francesco para visitar cada parte del mundo! Si uno desea viajar a Sicilia (y pronto a Roma, están creciendo) sin contratiempos —cada elección hecha con todo cuidado— no dudamos en recomendar a Time for Sicily.
