Touring Eastern Sicily with Mimmo
This was our first trip to Sicily and we could not have picked a better guide than Mimmo. His knowledge of eastern Sicily is amazing and he was able to navigate us to places I know we never would have found on our own. He was also very flexible, making suggestions for spur-of-the-moment side trips like a sun dried tomato facility and a stop at an olive oil processor. If you’re looking for an in-depth, personalized tour of Sicily, I strongly recommend that you tour with Mimmo.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience with Mimmo Sicily Tours.

Amazing 7 days in Sicily
We contacted Mimmo’s for 7 days of touring in Sicily and from the start their service was terrific. Nina gave us lots of suggestions and once the itinerary was set she gave us hotel suggestions. Our driver-guide, Mr Salvo, was fantastic. An excellent and caring driver who looked after us like royalty. He gave us loads of great information all the way, dispersed with intelligent and witty conversation. We had stops at historic sights, wineries, an olive farm, beachside lunches and so much more. Every suggestion he gave us for restaurants etc was excellent. We feel Mimmo’s gave us great value for money as we were able to fit in so much more each day than if we were driving ourselves, and gave everything we saw context. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you for enjoying our services and your amazing feedback.

Amazing trip to Sicily!
Mimmo was a wonderful guide who made our trip fabulous! He was very thoughtful and knowledgeable about Sicily! He earned our trust by helping us make the right decisions. He took us off the beaten path as we had asked and showed us things we never would have found. His recommendations were spot on and his transportation first class. Would highly recommend and hope to return one day!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure and adventurous to take you around in the eastern part of Sicily. Hope to see you again for the western area..!! Thank you for being here. Mimmo.

Terrific first visit to Sicily with Mimmo
We spent three full days with Mimmo seeing as much as possible from our base in Catania - and it was all terrific. We came to Sicily with no preparation and if was a joy to learn about the cities and sites we visited and being challenged by Mimmo to truly consider what we were seeing and it’s significance. Mimmo puts a great tour together, suggested great places to eat, arranged a lunch and wine tasting. He convinced us to change our itinerary to go to Noto - great move. We enjoyed it all and will certainly seek out Mimmo when we return to see the several areas of Sicily we did not see this time around! Thanks Mimmo.
Response from the operator: Hello Beth, I’m truly glad you, husband & daughter enjoyed the days touring in Sicily with me. Syracuse, Taormina, Etna, Noto, Piazza Armerina mixed with local food, wine etc were on our schedule this time. The western part of Sicily is waiting to be visited on the next trip. Thank you!!

Magnificent Tour of Eastern Sicily
Mimmo guided us through Eastern Sicily for four days and three nights. We are not 'tour people' but we cannot imagine a better introduction to this fascinating and complex part of the world. The tour was organized around our interests, the vehicle was in perfect condition, the itinerary logical and varied. Mimmo knows the country intimately - the history, the agriculture, the geology and geography, the food, culture, the past and the contemporary. He is curious about everything and conveys his knowledge clearly and engaged all four of us throughout. I cannot recommend his services strongly enough. If you have the chance to spend some time with him seeing Sicily I urge you to do so.
Response from the operator: Thank you for enjoying the tour on the eastern part of Sicily. It was my pleasure to make you acquainted with the history, the culture & food of Sicily. My Mercedes Van will be at your disposal also next time to show the western areas - Best, Mimmo.

Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.
How much does Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver cost?
+
Prices start at $3,657 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catania is not rushed.
Is Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Catania TREASURES OF THE EAST 4 Days Private Minitour with Guide Driver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Catania?
+
On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Catania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Catania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
