          Amazing experience!
          Amazing custom made tour for 8 friends through beautiful Sicily! Tour company could not have been more helpful. I knew what I wanted to see and they helped modify the order to make sense, added a few food /culture events, arranged for outstanding guides and drivers, lovely centrally located boutique hotels and checked in daily during the tour to confirm starting times and guide/driver names. Even when there was a flooding situation, this tour company made everything happen seamlessly! Highly recommended!

          The best tour I have ever experienced in the best place I have ever been.
          This was actually an 11 day customized small group tour (2-7 persons). Because it was off season, it was a private tour. Valeria customized this tour via a face call months before. If I was rating this tour on a scale of 1-100 I would rate it a 200. The tour exceeded any and all expectations we had. I thought originally it was a little pricy, but now I will say it was worth every cent. Our driver, Michele, became a personal friend and we will get together when we return. He was knowledgeable, punctual, and a joy to be with. Nothing I can think to say will give the praise he deserves. All the guides were wonderful, as was every excursion. The hotels were great, with the last two, in Taormina and Móndelo, were an example of saving the best for last. The breakfasts in each hotel put breakfasts in the U.S. hotels to shame. The lunches that were included were also excellent. And the island, what can I say about Sicily? Sicily is a magical place where the land meets the sky, the food is delicious, and the people are warm and friendly. We will definitely return in the future and are already talking about our next trip there. I have a fair amount of travel under my belt, but I have never been to a place I loved as much.

          BEST SICILIAN EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
          We had an incredible 4 day trip ! Starting with the delicious street food tour of Catania with the warm & hospitable Denise. Next, we spent two days with the knowledgeable and insightful Orazio who we hiked Etna with, experienced the exquisite Etna wines, and explored the Godfather villages. Plus, the deeply passionate and inspiring Alfredo who brought to life the essence of Greco-Roman history on our walking tour of the Ancient Teatro Greco of Taormina! Lastly, we finished off our incredible Sicilian trip with the energetic & engaging Antonio exploring the splendid Sicilian cities of Siracusa, Ortigia and Noto to experience the best late baroque architecture Italy/ Sicily has to offer, as well as the filming location of one of the best Tornatore films (Malena) .. It truly felt we were living through a Morricone film score.. Sicily activities was there every step of the booking process to paying attention to all of our needs all the way to our departure! Graziana provided us consistent communication throughout and we will surely be back to utilize their incredible services! If you find yourself in Sicily in the near future, there is no better place to organize the Sicilian trip of a lifetime; full of culture, food, incredible sights and even more incredible people! Siete veramente 🔝🔝🔝🫶🏼😊

          A wonderful, unforgettable customised 12-day private tour with Sicily Activities.
          Our family enjoyed a wonderful, unforgettable customised 12-day private tour with Sicily Activities. Their selection of historical locations, sights, restaurants and hotels were first class. All our guides were passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. They went above and beyond to accommodate the various needs and interests of our family. Alex and her team communicated with us daily and ensured all logistics went smoothly. High praise in particular to Orazio, Carlos, Antonio and Barbara who made our tours extra special. We would have no hesitation in recommending Sicily Activities to anyone travelling to Sicily.

          Most wonderful experience of Sicily
          We’d like to thank Graziana for her contact with us and the arrangements she and Massimo made. The itinerary was fantastic and our guides and drivers exceptional - Jerry, Alfredo, Valerio, Orazio, Sem, Fabio and anyone I may have unfortunately left off that list 😊. They were all wonderful and engaging and we are leaving Sicily with many happy memories and knowing this is a place we want to come back to even though it is far from New Zealand. Can’t fault the hotels, meals, wine etc. We have enjoyed every minute and thank you for making it be like that. Exceeded our expectations 😄🥂

          This was a fabulous tour with a total of 8 english speaking adults. Hit the highlights of Sicily and wonderful visits, tours, cooking, markets, and sightseeing....while lots of time on your own for exploring. Massimo and his people were always prompt and friendly and lots of experience to draw on.

          Excellent attention to detail on a great trip to Sicily!
          Massimo and every guide employed by Sicily Activities were fantastic. The guide changed at each activity on each day, but we saw the guides with other groups all around town and they always checked in to say hello. Every detail was taken care of, starting at Taormina, down to Syracuse, through Agrigento and up to Palermo. We got the perfect vacation in Sicily, seeing all that it had to offer. I couldn't recommend them enough!

          Sicily Great Daily Tours and Delicious Food
          We had a wonderful trip to Sicily, and a big part of that was “Sicily Activities small Group Tour.” For each of the eight days in Sicily, we had a different tour and guide. They were all extremely personable and knowledgeable about the sites we were seeing, and of course the history. The daily tours included, Taormina Food&Wine Tour, Godfather vs Mafia Tour, Taormina Walking Tour & Greek Theatre, Mt. Etna Trip & Etna Winery, Noto Walking Tour & Lunch in Marzamemi, Syracuse Walking Tour, Trip to Agrigento, Guided visit of Temple Valley, and Palermo Walking Tour. My group consisted of four people, and the three others who were also on the tour quickly became friends. The hotels were all four stars, and we were driven to the daily tours and different cities in a Mercedes Van, which was very comfortable. All of our meals in Sicily were great, whether included in the tours or on our own. As is always the case, there were a couple of snags, but Massimo from Sicily Activities always made things right. We had a terrific time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour company to others.

          Wonderful, fully escorted tour of Sicily.
          We could not have done this trip on our own! From our airport pick up to our airport drop off every detail was designed for our enjoyment and pleasure. We were taken to all the hidden gems you just wouldn’t know about. The drivers and guides were well organised and very professional. We couldn’t recommend Sicily Activities more highly.

          A Great Taste of Sicily
          This was a great small group tour which lived up to our expectations. We ended up with a group of six - two couples and two singles. It was different than expected in that we had different guides each day but it worked as each had a passion about what they were showing us and they made it fun and interesting. Thanks to Jerry, Valerie, Orazio and Denise! We also had some local guides in both Syracuse and Palermo so got educated well! It was a wonderful overview of Sicily - the highlights and food/wine. We also had plenty of free time to explore, had a chance to catch up with our new friends made on the tour and had lots of good meals. The transfers were all organised as well so we just had to relax and enjoy the ride! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get a taste of Sicily.

          The best tour of Sicily!
          Our group wanted to pass along our compliments to Sicily Activities who provided the best tour of Sicily at a most reasonable cost! It was a most memorable trip. The Sicily Activity guides are phenomenal! The guides were personable, knowledgeable, helpful and funny! Massimo, the owner of Sicily Activities, has gathered a phenomenal group of guides and coordinators! The communication and coordination by Massimo and his team were excellent. The food and wine were excellent too! I would highly recommend this company for your private tour of Sicily!

          Not recommended
          We did not enjoy this tour. The first restaurant was packed and loud. Mediocre seafood and small wine portion. We could not hear the guide at all. The second had tiny portions and was equally hot and loud. The third was just standing and eating cannoli on the street. The people in the group were nice but we didn’t learn one thing from the guide so it was basically pricey appetizers of mediocre to poor quality. We don’t recommend this tour.

          Incredible Way to Taste Sicily
          Absolutely an amazing adventure! We had a different tour guide each day and we loved them all. Each one brought their love, enthusiasm and knowledge of Sicily to us and each one made us feel as though we were their favorite group ever. We also had time each day to go exploring on our own. All of us agree that this was a unique tour group that went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time and had all we needed.

        A good day out and an enjoyable way to see more of Sicily in the hot summer sunshine without having to drive…driving in Sicily is not for the faint hearted! Small minibus expertly driven by our guide Denise who pointed out places of interest en route.

        Interesting tour for Godfather fans with lots of anecdotes from Denise who was always happy to answer any questions with lots of photo opportunities and plenty of time to enjoy the experience. We were never rushed.

        We spent time at the first 2 churches and Bar Eden in Forza D’Agro our only ‘disappointment’ as such was not being offered the same opportunity at Bar Vitelli when we visited the town of Savoca but it may be tours and guides are not invited in as such. Highly recommend you ask for time to visit Bar Vitelli yourself to take your photos, look at the exhibition inside and treat yourself to a cool drink rather than being directed to the souvenir shopping.

        We took the offer of the Tuk Tuk arranged by Denise to reach St Lucy’s church as it was baking hot in the sun and I have some health issues. That was great fun and costs 10 euros each way for a few mins. You do miss out of some of the walking trip info but it was our choice.

        The trip is rounded off with a delicious light lunch - pasta alla Norma, and coffee drinks in a lovely small restaurant with breathtaking views and incredibly welcoming staff. Highly recommend this trip.

        One of the highlights of our week in Taormina. The small group tour of just 7 people was led by the lovely and very knowledgeable Denise. We were picked up at our Hotel and enjoyed a short minibus ride to visit locations where the Godfather films were shot. Both Forza d'Agro and Savoca were lovely small villages with beautiful churches. The walk up to the church in Savoca looked daunting but Denise organised a tuc-tuc taxi - great fun and well worth the fare. We had a lovely lunch in Savoca and enjoyed the company of fellow travellers. Altogether a lovely treat on my husband's birthday. Thank you Denise for a very enjoyable and interesting trip - and for the photos.

        The Godfather tour is highly overrated for what you get: a drive to Forza D’Agro and Savocca, some public locations where you can take photos and lunch in Savocca. Our guide, Carlos, was very nice and friendly, he gave us lots of information on the movie and on local life, but we considered the overall experience to be way overpriced. We went on a half-day tour to Etna the next day, for a little more than half the price of the Godfather tour, and the experience was amazing. In conclusion, we would not do the tour again and we don’t recommend it. A fair price for this experience would be half from what is costs now. If you are a true fan of the movie and have rented a car, you can do this on your own.

        Dear Mirela, thank you so much for being with us on tour and for your feedback. I am very sorry that the cost of the tour didn’t meet your expectations. Of course everyone can rent a car or take a public bus to reach the villages, where Godfather movie were filmed, and explore them on their own. Our tour is not a transportation service, it is an experience for people who like fun, emotions and comfort. That’s why we always seek to provide them just with qualitative, memorable and stress-free experience, which includes: - Pick up and drop off to your hotel/appartment with new Mercedes minivan - Intimate group of not more than 8 fellow travellers - Licensed passionate guide, who takes care of every little detail during the tour, shows you hidden jems and tells secret stories - Fresh meat pasta and labelled wine in high end restaurant I hope all above should be considered while talking about the cost of experience and expectations. Hope to meet you next time on our tours and do my best to provide you with unforgettable emotions! Warm greetings from Sicily!

        Antonio was simply the perfect guide on this exceptional tour, delving deep into iconic cinema and modern Sicilian history. Passionate, professional and deeply knowledgeable; his expertise shone through with warmth and humour. We cannot thank him enough for making this experience one of the true highlights of our Sicilian adventure 💚

        We had a fantastic day out taking in the sites related to the Godfather films. We met some enthusiastic and lovely people on the trip. Our guide Denise was absolutely fab. She clearly loved what she does and shared her knowledge related to the history, insights and facts about the route taking us to the beautiful Savoca. Denise's sense of humour and friendliness made the tour even more enjoyable ... We even learnt how to make pasta sauce and about a car called 'Gwendolina ... Gwenda'. Highly highly recommended 👍🏽

        Thank you Denise ... lots of love Mr and Mrs 8 😂

        Our guide, Denise, was brilliant. So well informed. Just would've liked a bit more time to go in Bar Vitali.

        Maybe advise that there is quite a lot of walking incase someone is not that able.

        A totally fabulous day. Well worth the cost. Only 8 on the tour. First class guide Antonio, his knowledge of everything Godfather and Sicilian was first class. Very relaxed whilst taking us around we were not rushed at any of the stop offs. Antonio was able to answer any question and was extremely entertaining with it. We booked with Get my guide but you can book directly with Sicilian Activities. Their arrangement, contact and updating us with information before the tour was very reassuring.
