Claudia was an excellent tour guide for our tour of Isola Bella and Castelmola. We have taken many tours in many countries over the years and found Claudia to be exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and we would definitely tour with her again. We are touring Mt Etna tomorrow and are now disappointed that we are not touring with Claudia. Our driver Gian Carlo was also excellent!
