This guy has an impeaccable accent in both English and Italian. Impressive. He takes the time to enunciate both languages properly. Kudos.

I have just had a holiday in Sicily!!! This is superb. I loved every second. I didn't know how fabulous Sicily is. Thank you, thank you.

[@antoniogigliotta]

It is always a pleasure to follow you around.... I am a Sicilian in London and after watching your London videos I just discovered this one of Sicily. I am so glad you enjoyed Sicily, thank you for enhancing the Beauty and history of my homeland! I hope you will return to Sicily to discover more beauty spread around the Island. Abbraccio grande, Bravo Julian!

I cannot believe I came across this video on Cefalu , I visited it 33 years ago , and I remember sitting at the same cafe you started the video with . . . I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. Keep up the good work Joolz

[@michaelaaylott1686]

Wonderful to watch - even more so from COVID-ridden Spain in December, I was smiling all the way through, it looked like one of those holidays you remember nostalgically all your life. You are a master documentary-maker!

[@DanGulinobass]

Im half sicilian and I appreciate You showing the world how beautiful it is! Great work

[@user-nq7yx7dg1w]

I've never been there. Thank you for bringing its beauty to all of us here.

That was brilliant. At home sick with a flu bug, have been binge watching your videos all day. You are a great find.

My Parents are from Ragusa in Sicily and I loved the memories you brought back to me from a beautiful part of the world. The food is fantsitic and you must try the freshly made ricotta canole in Sicily particularly in Ragusa. They are to die for. Thank for a great video.

An excellent documentary! I’m surprised your subscriber based is still low. You have potential to be big. Keep it up! I’ll be watching all your London guides next few days because I’m heading there later this week.

What an informative film ! As most of all the world Sicily is known mainly for one thing...............But there is so much to do and see.........Thanks again Julian.....

Yes, they preferred I didn't mention that thing but in reality you don't encounter any of that.

"You can take a stroll along the golden sand, see the snoging couples, surfers, bronzed life guards, beautiful women, and men of a certain age proudly parading in fammously tiny swimming trunks. I must say, you've got to admire their balls". LOL! Love this video.

Oh thanks! That's the intention of the film. To get people to see Cefalu in particular :)

[@4444colin]

Yes I skipped Sicily because was indoctrinated by fear stories of the Mafia. Same thing with Ireland. Grew up with hearing about the IRA and trouble's. Probably two places I really should visit. Didn't Alestir Crowley live close by!!!

[@AmySchoonmaker]

Thank you

[@laurach.5550]

I really love your videos joolz! I enjoy watching your walks in London but this trip was amazing (I' m biassed as I' m italian). Yet you should have visited Taormina, the best place in Sicily and one of the best places in Italy! Next time!

i go Cefalu in couple months ' was there last May ' and my first time at Cefalu was 12 years ago ' i love Cefalu,fantastic film thank you

Great! If you stay at one of the Massimo Villas don't forget to say you saw our film! Thanks for watching!

[@SantEliaparadise]

would love to stay at one of the villas,were coming from Scotland so we booked a Thomson holiday package, Cefalu/Sicily is one of the nicest countries you'll ever likely to visit

[@Joolzguides]

I should try to include some sort of discount code on here for the villas. I'm sure he'd be up for that!

[@SantEliaparadise]

that sounds a good idea ,your docs are amazing i've been self promoting Cefalu to family & friends and in my writings i'm a song writer/poet 'if your in Cefalu in September the coffees are on me 'i changed my profile picture on here to one picture from last May in Cefalu

What camera do you use in this episode Julian? It loos really bright in the evening. Love your videos :)

[@richardofoz2167]

Hey Jules, I'm in one my Joolz runs at present and found myself here in Sicily after Pitcairn and Phoenix. As much as I enjoy your walks round London, I think your travel videos are great, though I don't agree that Pitcairn was your best. I prefer Sicily. Do more, please. You must travel often, as a global media celebrity cashed up from your years as a kite impresario. Give us some more.

Move over Rick Steves, Julian McDonald is taking over the world of tourism videos. Your videos are way more fun and entertaining. You make me feel like if I was there I would be having that much fun too. You don't just sell the viewer on the place but the experience also. I will be heading to London in 10 days, I can't wait.

I like your quirky style which is in contrast to Rick Steeves' show. That feast at the end looked amazing but it would have been nice to have heard from a local food writer. I think Giuliano, the net maker, is referring to Salvatore Giuliano the famous bandit!

[@colinp2238]

Last year I fulfilled a life long ambition and went up Mt Etna. I have always wanted to see a volcano. It was last December when I was holidaying on Malta and took a trip there for only 130 euros. It included the ferry and coach to Etna followed by a visit to Modica to sample the chocolate.

[@Joolzguides]

I was supposed to go there too but we havn't got round to it yet. I hope to though!

[@colinp2238]

It's beautiful but because it was winter we couldn't go to the top. On the way up it's like being in Bavaria. You will enjoy it Jools.
