Use this Service! Amp up your trip and save time and money. This is a worthwhile service that will save you time and also make you aware of special places you might not have considered or known about. You can also get advice /feedback on places you do want to go to such as tourist sites, tours, restaurants, hotels, parks, etc. Propose a basic itinerary or just a wish list of types of activities you like and the dates you have available and she’ll flesh out an entire Sicily trip. You can then iterate it with her. Better yet, if you get confused or hung up on the trip, she can also act as a real-time trouble shooter. That alone can pay for the service in saved money, time, and peace of mind. Also consider staying at her Oblo B&B in Catania and you get to meet Antonella in person!

Antonella was above the call of duty. Answering so many questions, putting up with my friends (who then later didn't join the trip!), making changes at the last minute for me. She really knows her stuff.

Antonella was our angel! This was our second time working with her to create the most wonderful trip through Puglia and Sicily. Antonella guided us to select hotels, restaurants, activities, car rentals and guides. During our planning stage, she promptly answered our many emails and was always pleasant. She creates a beautiful travel itinerary for you that is a combination of a review of the area plus specific information about each day's activities, including google links and phone/email info for the guides. It was so easy! When our rental car had a flat tire in a rural area in the pouring rain, we called Antonella. Fifteen minutes later she had a tow truck at our site to resolve our break-down! She truly extended herself beyond what was expected, and boy, were we happy! We can't wait to plan the next trip with Antonella! She is the best!

Antonella is a very thorough, meticulous and professional person in the travel planning service industry which took care of designing a one week trip for my wife Alma and myself. My wife has limited mobility and uses an electrical wheelchair so her special needs were quite important to take in consideration in everything she planned for us. Antonella took care of the following for us: - Define an itinerary selecting the island best area to visit and the activities in such area according to our tastes. - Propose and make hotel reservations considering what we were looking for, our budget and our special needs. - Select and hire private tour guides for us to visit places appropriate for us. - Provide a list of restaurants and make reservations for us of the ones we selected. At all times she was available either by WhatsApp messages or telephone and pending for any specific need we had.

Antonella designed our 2 week family trip to Sicily, and it turned out even better than I expected! Her price is extremely reasonable, she took all of our preferences into account and she found the best hotels, tour guides and activities. She designs other Italy trips, and I look forward to using her services in the future. It was my first time using a trip designer and I am so glad I did it!

I used this service for a solo trip to Sicily for three weeks. Antonella was absolutely wonderful. She took care of every detail and went above and beyond. She checked in with me frequently to make sure that things were going smoothly. I would most definitely recommend her services if you are planning a unique trip to Sicily.

Our family took a chance on My Personal Sicily because we liked the website and wanted a local person to design our trip. Antonella was superb! She scheduled an itinerary that perfectly fulfilled what we'd asked for. She answered all our questions promptly via email. We're from highly touristed towns so know what good advice and service look like –– & how challenging it can be. The guides, hotels and businesses knew her and wanted us (& Antonella) to be pleased. In Catania, we arranged to meet her. Antonella is a joy as well as a fine ambassador. We highly recommend her to anyone going to Italy.

Antonella referred me to an Italian genealogist to research family documents (pre-trip) and then set up a day trip to visit my ancestors villages, with a private driver picking us up at the Messina cruise port. From the beginning, I knew I had made the right choice in selecting her. Extremely professional and excellent communication. Thanks to her (and our awesome driver) I have memories of a lifetime, connecting with my Sicilian roots. I highly recommend Antonella!
