Fábio gave us a tour of the places where iconic scenes from The Godfather movies were filmed. It was just me and my Father so he tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and do. His English is excellent, super knowledgeable and explains things very clearly. We learnt lots and had a really good time. Took pictures for us, dropped us off for a few hours in Taormina for lunch then picked us up and took us to a few extra places to take some pictures before coming back down to Catania. He also recommended THE BEST pizzaria we've been to. Very flexible and offers all sorts of tours and trips, just let him know what you need/want! (sometimes even airport transfers) This is his company he is running with his colleague, and he was born and raised in Sicilly, so very passionate and loves his job. Would highly recommend to literally anyone who comes to Sicilly.

We were recommended to Paulo by friends and they were right, we had an outstanding 2 weeks touring Sicily. Nothing was a problem, we saw all the sights, were accommodated in great hotels in ideal locations. Paulo had all the answers (and I had plenty of questions). His knowledge and abilty to explain was outstanding. The Merc was an ideal way to get around, Don't consider driving yourself it's hair raising, leave it to a professional. The agri stay was fantastic.

We started with the boat tour in the morning. Seeing Sicily from the water was beautiful and an amazing experience. I love swimming in the crystal clear water - it definitely helped with my fear of “what’s swimming under me??” Taormina is beautiful and the knowledge and warmth our tour guide Chiara made the experience exponentially more amazing

If I could have selected an option of zero I would have chosen that. 1 is too kind. This ‘private’ boat excursion is basically €80 (not €75 as you have to pay a shed load of tax) to get a 2 hour bus ride then you are stuffed onto a packed ferry full of angry tourists who have been sold the dream but in reality, it was a nightmare. The islands are ugly, busy and I simply have nothing good to report. You are left to your own devices and any swimming options are limited/poor. The ‘food’ in the port areas are all fatty/greasy tourist muck and not Sicilian cuisine. It’s just naff and utterly unenjoyable. I beg you to take this all in, otherwise you will lose a day of your holiday. D O N ‘T DO IT!!! Regards, Ilana, 35, London

Great couple of hours taking part in Italian cooking! See as it was during Covid-19, my partner and I were the only participants. We were greeted by Luca and offered coffee while they prepared the kitchen for us. We helped make bread, learnt how to make macaroni and of course, pizza! we had 2 breaks - and at each, we ate what we made and had a litre of house wine! The macaroni was made into '"pasta alla norma'' and it was my favourite dish of the course. They even emailed us the recipes after. I highly recommend doing this class, it's a cool way to experience with locals.

I had a great day visiting Mount Etna, learning about the history of the volcano, and previous eruptions. I also enjoyed a wine tasting and tour of a winery.

2020 was a difficult year to travel, but if you can make it, it is all worth it! Given the various restrictions imposed on tourism during this period, Activity Sicily still delivered a rich and smooth programme: food was great, tours are interesting, hotels are comfortable and in great locations, and the cooking class is particularly fun. We focused on the food and wine aspects in this tour, the knowledge behind the food provided great insight into Sicilian people, history and culture. Massimo was hands-on all way through the tour to make sure everything went well, and all the guides are professional, knowledgable, and helped us to make the most of the trip during this difficult time. That said, the bonus is -- with hardly any tourists around, we really got to see the place as it is! Thanks Activity Sicily.
