I and my wife went on a private tour of Noto, Modica and Ragusa with Alessio, the owner of Sicily Grand Tour. Alessio is a native of Sicily and speaks very clear English without any Italian accent, which is a great plus; particularly when he has to drive the car with his mask on and speak. He is very knowledgeable not just about Sicily but also gave informative tidbits of faraway cities like Trieste in the northeast of Italy. We found him very personable as he was always keen to engage in conversation, enthusiastically clicked our pictures with a DSLR, and of course took us to the best spots in each of the three towns. I can easily recommend him for Sicily tours as his communication/approach right from the time I contacted him via email/whatsapp until the very end of the tour was prompt, clear and amicable. SD

The day we took our tour was our 60th anniversary. We spent most of the day in Savona, our tour guide and driver made our day memorable. Both were very knowledgeable, as they were training a new tour guide and driver we were the only passengers. Savona is very beautiful just; like the movie scenes. Natasha knew all the places and stories about the story and filming of the Godfather. She introduced us to the local baker, we sampled some of his delicious cookies, bought some to take back. Best Chocolate Almond cookies and Limoncello cookies we will ever taste. We visited on Shrove Tuesday (Fat Tuesday) the village school children we watched the village school children parade in their costumes and they threw confetti at us.

With a couple of friends I made this tour. After a pleasent ride, with a coffee stop, we arrived at Villa Romana del Casale, where we admired the beautiful mosaïcs. In the neighborhood from the Villa, Giovanni arranged a nice lunch at a very good restaurant. After that we continued the journey to the Valle dei Templi, where we enjoyed the wonderful temples and a stunning sunset. Giovanni has an comfortable car, is an excellent driver, is enthusiastic, very kind and is doing his utmost to make you feel at ease. It was a marvelous day. Highly recommended!

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.

If thinking about hiking in Pantalica you are highly recommended to choose Carlo as your guide. We did a wonderful day tour and it felt like hiking with a friend not a stranger. He knew a lot about the place, is very easy to talk to and you can feel that he loves this gorgeous island. My train was more than late that day and he was very flexible with the pick up as well. Go with Carlo, you won't regret it ????

We visited Sicily for approx a month in January. We decided not to drive ourselves and used a company called Taormina Transfer. They are extremely flexible and will do as little as transfer you from Catania airport to Taormina or arrange a trip all around Sicily with day tours like they did for us. Always on time and very pleasant. Maria and Massimo were great and nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend them.
