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
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!
I was just there for a day trip in June with one of my daughters and my cousin and his girlfriend who both live near Agrigento. A lovely city with wonderful ambiance and excellent food!
I worked at the Rock Garden restaurant in London in the 90's. I remember you doing magics and tricks for entertainment . Glad you went visiting my country. Peace out. Ciao
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.
Brilliant, Julian ! This'll be my summer hols this year. Away from home, while stuck at home. 😩 Now, I'll watch again. 😊 And then I'll have a go at the cheese filled scotch egg thingy... Stay well and safe ! Love from (a rainy) Norway 💖
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 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!!!
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
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
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!
Ahhhh....the Young Lady at minute 14:42 !!! Reminds me of a Woman I fell madly in Love with in New Orleans a decade ago. She was from a family on the West bank...Sicilian Immigrants!
"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.
You are courageous for exploring Alistair Crowley’s former home, oh my! Not only is it forbidden, but I can only imagine how creepy the energy is in there
It would be great to have you two as my tour guide when I go in June. I wasn't going to go to Cafelu, but I want to try one of those scotch egg things, and I've Google Earthed Antica Focacceria so I'll go. Good vid.
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!
Dear Joolz! Me and my bf are travelling to sicily in july and I saw your nice video! What was the name of the wineward you visited in cefalu? I would like to plan a day to one.

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.

Cefalù, bellissima, la Sicilia bellissima, piena di cultura e tradizioni!!!!
This guy has an impeaccable accent in both English and Italian. Impressive. He takes the time to enunciate both languages properly. Kudos.
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
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!
Im half sicilian and I appreciate You showing the world how beautiful it is! Great work
I've never been there. Thank you for bringing its beauty to all of us here.
Just back from Taormino in Sicily...unbelievable place..so stunning!
Greetings from Canada. Wonderful trip. Thanks for taking us with you!
We love Canada Lake Ontario North Side - go there twice a year for the last 10 years - - just wish it was not that windy
I've been to Cefalu once.. Thanks you for remaining me about this amazing place.
Same here, lovely!
That was brilliant. At home sick with a flu bug, have been binge watching your videos all day. You are a great find.
I’ve been binge watching since yesterday...we used to live in London back in the 60s/70s. Great stuff.
@@JagBetty Was the best of times I'm sure. x
Nice adventure. Beautiful places. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. God bless you.
These videos are so well produced. They are a more fun version of the travel programmes on the bbc in the 90s.
I was just there for a day trip in June with one of my daughters and my cousin and his girlfriend who both live near Agrigento. A lovely city with wonderful ambiance and excellent food!
i really enjoyed the social,landscape mix. nice trip. good company.
Excellent 👏😎 - you really have captured the Cefalu vibe.
i am retiring half of the year to Sicily and this reminds me of my trips years back visiting sicilian friends on the way THANKS A MILLION
Yet another brilliant production Julian!!
I worked at the Rock Garden restaurant in London in the 90's. I remember you doing magics and tricks for entertainment . Glad you went visiting my country. Peace out. Ciao
Ciao bello! Thanks! Did we meet? I'm sure we must have spoken. You aren't the blond guy from Torino are you?
I love his proper english humour! Greetings from Sicily!
Ciao bello! Thanks. I have just won an award for this film in Istanbul!!!
Fun London Guides - Julian McDonnell Films No way! You definitely deserved it 👏👏👏😃
Absolutely fantastic video. You should come to North America!
Ohh what an astounding film, just a gorgeous exotic place!
Thanks! It won some awards too!
@@Joolzguides which awards? For this video?
Great video thanks for sharing
One of the best travel films I have seen in awhile! Do more of them, very good thanks!
Cheers! Well, did I mention I'm an award winning travel film maker? Let's see how this one does. It was fun but hard work believe it or not!
I love the chaos of this place
We are going in Oct 2022, Love the humor and enjoyed the tour
‘‘ ...Tis excellent and has inspired me to visit .... 👍..... didn’t want it to end ...👏👏 .. Mr. J
We live in Palermo and we have house in Cefalù for the holidays of summer.
Brilliant videos, ver impressive, I hope your channel grows, you’re one of the best.
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.
Thanks...well, I think it's my keywords... Hopefully I can sort that out. Older people don't subscribe but my watch time is good.
Beautiful video . Great work
For our last excursion from Palermo we will go to Cefalú based on your great video. Arrivederci!
Very nice video♥️.....thanks! I am Sicilian woman🌷
Brilliant, Julian !
This'll be my summer hols this year. Away from home, while stuck at home. 😩
Now, I'll watch again. 😊
And then I'll have a go at the cheese filled scotch egg thingy...
Stay well and safe !
Love from (a rainy) Norway 💖
Brilliant Joolz! Fantasztikus!
Thanks for making such a great video of my hometown.
It's definitely made me want to visit.
Great video 👋🏻
I love Sicilia 💛
I will be going for my third time next year🙏🏻
🇺🇲💛🇮🇹
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.
Indeed you don't
What thing is that?
that it's the most beautiful island in the world ;) c u in Chefalu next year !
That "thing" never bothers tourists, it isn't interested in them.
Well done mate! you are officially a travel vlogger now. Keep 'em coming!
Fantastic!!! My family is from Caltininesetta. Looking forward to visiting Cefalu
che stupendo a vedere Julian parla l'italiano
Thank you
Awesome work Joolz
Thanks. These films don't tend to do that well on youtube but hopefully with time people will watch!
I've never wanted to go to Sicily...until now! Keep up the great work!
Oh thanks! That's the intention of the film. To get people to see Cefalu in particular :)
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!!!
These documentaries are great. Keep up the excellent work! :-)
Thanks. Hard work though! That was has entered some festivals. Let's see how it does.
Best I've seen.
Oh thanks!
La mia Cefalù è stupenda ...vi aspettiamo turisti di tutto il mondo
Love your films joolz.I would love to see you and Bald & Bankrupt joining up for a trip.
Estuve las navidades del 2016 en Cefalu y me encantó.
¡Fantástico! ¡Gracias por ver!
I'm so jealous Joolzy!!!! From lockdown South Africa 🌍🙏😇🎉
I plan on visiting this year
Splendid! Check out www.Cefalu.it and tell him you saw my film!
Amazing video !
Great film!
Thanks man! Glad people are watching it. It took quite a while :)
I loved it. Every second of it.
Thanks. I'm actually really proud of this one!
You should be. But get Simon more into play as well.
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!
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
I should try to include some sort of discount code on here for the villas. I'm sure he'd be up for that!
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
Thanks Fred. Well, we're talking about going back to do some filming in Taormina so you never know
What fun. Different than other videos. 👍
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!
Definitely! Taormina is stunning 🥰🇮🇹
Watching in Dec 2020! lol
Merry Christmas to all!
That was great looks a fascinating area ty for the time and effort
And I think this film just won a prize at a film festival in Croatia too!
Your video is very relaxing, like Sicily :-)
my grandmother is from Cefalu that family name is DiGiorgio !
Wonderful! I hope I did it justice!
Fabulous! Should have more 'Likes' :)
Cefalú is my favourite place in the world
Great job Jools, this was great!
Thanks! Great! I'm glad you watched that one. It's really good but people don't realise because most of my films are about London.
Ahhhh....the Young Lady at minute 14:42 !!! Reminds me of a Woman I fell madly in Love with in New Orleans a decade ago. She was from a family on the West bank...Sicilian Immigrants!
beautiful thank you Julian
Grazie! I am now in Istanbul where this film won an award!!
"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.
Thanks Clara :) Some people said I shouldn't include that line so I'm glad you liked it! I have others too!
@@Joolzguides we love your oral play.
You are courageous for exploring Alistair Crowley’s former home, oh my! Not only is it forbidden, but I can only imagine how creepy the energy is in there
Very!!!! Felt weird.
Great video Joolz!
Thanks Michael. yes, I like this one.
It would be great to have you two as my tour guide when I go in June. I wasn't going to go to Cafelu, but I want to try one of those scotch egg things, and I've Google Earthed Antica Focacceria so I'll go. Good vid.
Very Good! You Are So Good At These Videos, Joolsie! I Am A Confirmed Addict! Keep Up The Great Work! Will Be Hooking Into Patreon Soon! Cheers!
Thanks. That's very kind of you. This one actually won awards!
I am so enjoying your travels. C
Thanks
I love it! this is so great! I should take you to Calabria next time! :*
Great idea! A whole film with you and your music!
🤩 BEAUTIFUL ! But you missed the legendary CICCIO ! 👡👟
What camera do you use in this episode Julian? It loos really bright in the evening. Love your videos :)
Great film, Jules.
Thanks. Why isn't this on tv?! Where's my agent?!
You speak a little bit of Italian , 👏👏👏👍.
Omg, Julian, I have Sicilian blood, been there many times and never knew that Crowler lived there! ☺️😆
Great video!👏🏻💗
❤ sicily
Grazie!
Awesome video.
Great! I've entered some festivals with this. Let's see how it does.
Benvenuti in Paradiso.
hahaha, you have got to admire their balls! no body else made a comment here about this wonderful pun?!
this is the great italy by us italians
Enjoyed the upload. I've been to Italy many times, but not Sicily (must go!). Just wondering, did you go on holiday by mistake?
I was just in Sicily! Did the entire perimeter
How much did you spend roughly?
@@Useaname I am also interested. We are trying to plan it and need to figure out the order and costs 😅
Great video! :) 16:55 I was wondering where is the house in Palermo that remained the same after bombing ?
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.
Nice video! Is there a way to contact Angelo for a guided tour of Cefalu?
I am heading to Cefalù in July! What is the name of the winery you visited - we would love to go
Great film I want to go there one day.... Where did you get that hat?
I found it in a house I was staying in!
Love cefalu was there in 2019 beautiful much nicer then palermo
Palermo has the energy, Cefalu the looks 😅
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.
That is a lovely thing to say. Thank you!
@@Joolzguides I totally agree. Mover over Rick Steves!
Whoa don't diss Rick. Personally I'd like to see them collaborate in a video. I think it would be travel perfection then.
That opera house looks similar to the one in Manaus, yes?
Oh Joolz! What to say?.......it's that good.
Thanks! Maybe it will get more views when it wins some awards!
Wonderful video! I sent you a bit of $ in appreciation.
That's extremely kind. Thank you so much.
