If you've ever considered Sicily as a travel destination, by all means go! And if you want to have a truly authentic experience exploring all of Sicily's bounty, do yourself a favor and hire Paolo Mortellaro to be your guide. Your time in Sicily will definitely be enhanced. My husband and I recently spent 11 wonderful days on an excursion... More

Our Private Sicily Tour - "Culture and authentic Flavours" - eagerly anticipated, met all our expectations and then some. Our guide Paolo was friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful and an excellent companion, able to come up with variations to the scheduled destinations when necessary. The baroque cities of southern Sicily were fascinating. Each night was spent at an agriturismo farmhouse which deserves... More

Right from the beginning email contacts, Paolo was courteous and helpful. My friend and I spent 9 days travelling through Sicily in mid April with Paolo as our driver, guide, historian and friend. He was pleasant and upbeat and it is obvious that he loves his country as a native son and derives great pleasure from his job. He made... More

We spent 2 weeks with Paolo as our guide and enjoyed every minute. Our itinerary was well thought out, yet flexible enough to accomodate both our desires and the tempermental weather. We saw a wonderful mix of dramatic landscapes, beautiful cities and fabulous Greek and Roman ruins. Paolo worked very hard to please us and show us as much as... More

Paolo was fantastic! Very friendly and accommodating. He personalized our tour for what we were interested in seeing. He was an excellent guide and provided us with a great lunch (INCLUDED IN THE PRICE!). The whole trip was unbelievably reasonable and tons of fun. I would definitely recommend HandySicily. A++ service!

It is hard to fault Paolo Mortellaro's service from the time we sent our first query to the day he deposited us at our hotel in Taormina at the end of the five-day tour of SE Sicily that he had organised for us. We had decided to divide our 10-day holiday into two parts: 5 days tailor-made guided tour staying... More

I am studying in Syracuse, Sicily for the semester and booked a weekend tour of some of the main sites in Sicily we had talked about in class but weren't going to get to see. Paolo was an absolutely wonderful tour guide!! He created an itinerary for us based on what we wanted to see. We ended up visiting Agrigento... More

Handy Sicily was absolutely fantastic. Paolo met with us personally to talk about our options before we even decided on anything. He personalized a trip exactly to our tastes (we visited Agrigento, Piazza Armerina, Caltagirone, and Modica). Every minute of the trip he was friendly, helpful, and full of wonderful suggestions for what we should visit next. An example: after... More

I contacted HandySicily by email to organise a 7 day holiday in Sicily. Paolo responded quickly and we negotiated my itinerary that was built around his 'Culture and authentic flavours' option. Paulo was flexible in amending the itinerary to suit our interests and available time. The itinerary was excellent and Paolo's expert knowledge of the history and cultures of the... More

February 1, 2011 During last Christmas holidays, I along with my wife contacted Handy Sicily about a customized seven day tour of Sicily in a car with a driver.
