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.

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.

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.

What an amazing experience! I went with my wife and another couple for a day trip round the islands of Lipari and Vulcano. It was undoubtedly the highlight of a two week holiday in Sicily. We were taken to multiple swimming spots to enjoy the crystal clear water, snorkels and noodles were provided, to enjoy the dramatic underwater environment created by the volcanic activity. The Captain was always on the lookout for all kinds of aquatic animals to see such as tuna and the cassiopea jellyfish. We were most impressed by the care taken to preserve the natural environment when rubbish that another vessel had jettisoned, was retrieved and taken back to the offending party. Delectable local wine and delicious bruschetta was provided on board. If I could give more than 5 stars I would, was a fantastic day and will recommend to everyone we know!
