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 had a very nice day doing a boat trip to Salina with Captain Giovanni. It’s not easy to choose an option in Lipary, as the offer is huge, but I don’t think we could have made a better decision. The boat is very nice and was comfortable for us (there were only two more couples at our party). He is a nice and easy going person who understood that we enjoyed jumping from the boat so much to swim on the crystal clear waters that he allowed many stops for swimming and snorkeling on amazing spots along the beautiful west coast of Lipary. He loves what he does and enjoys sharing his passion for his home island and the sea. It has been a pleasure to meet Captain Giovanni. I will definitely recommend his company to our friends.

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

Based on recent reviews we booked this trip VERY trepidatiously – it was the only departure that was convenient for us and we braced ourselves for a really hectic experience. In the event, the boat was about two thirds empty and there was no scrum to get on or off. We saw other boats offering similar departures that were really busy so I think it's just the luck of the draw in terms of how busy your boat is. The boat left and arrived on time from each of its departure points and the commentary was really useful as well as being crystal clear in terms of when the next departure was. The islands are absolutely beautiful and sitting for around an hour watching Stromboli erupt was a unique experience, and €50 per adult (our four year old travelled free) is really good value. FWIW, we were told that parking in Milazzo hasn't been policed for the last five years so you can park in any spot that isn't marked in yellow (handicapped spots). We parked in a two hour spot and returned to our car that evening with no problems. Also consider taking ginger tablets of some kind of seasickness medication as even waters that look calm can end up a little choppy. Sit on the boat's lower levels for a more comfortable ride!

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. A delicious light lunch was also included, but for me the highlight could have tasting a selection of delicious honeys! Paola my guide was fantastic., and I was the only client,, so it was great to have my own personal guide. I would definitely recommend this tour.
