    Excellent service; excellent guides. The only negative was the choice of hotels, all rated 4-star. While the Hotel Livingston in Oritigia was excellent, the Medeterrainee in Taormina was at best a 2-star -- spotty service, bathrooms that reminded me of my Army days, and I would strongly urge you to find alternative accomodations. The NR Hotel in Palermo was OK (a former Holiday Inn, generally used by footballers, I was told) but our stay would have been more enjoyable in Palermo in a hotel with more character.

    What a memorable small group tour of Sicily! With exceptional organization and recommendations by Massimo of Sicily Activities and daily contact with itinerary updates and guides details by Graziana on what's app, the tour ran very smoothly. Our interesting group of 6 enjoyed fabulous food and wine and accommodation was great with good sea views! We especially enjoyed the vineyard with its 5star meal. Free time was appreciated and between our group I think we sampled all flavours of gelato. Yum!! Special mention must also be given to our wonderful guides and drivers Valerio, who we were lucky to have a few times with his expertise in archaeological history., Orazio who led us on a fabulous wine and food tour, Denise for our well informed tour of Mt Etna and bubbly personality and Sem, who had a challenging drive from Ortigo to Palermo, What a day we had! with sun, rain, gale force winds, hail and crazy traffic to our hotel. i highly recommend!! -, Don't hesitate just, BOOK SICILY ACTIVITIES SMALL GROUP TOUR for a wonder experience and holiday.

    I just came back from the Sicily highlights tour. I arranged my trip with Massimo who communicated with me prior to the trip and answered all of my questions/concerns. He is a true professional. This was a perfectly organized tour from beginning to end. Taking this tour saved me the stress of having to organize the logistics myself. I loved the fact that it was a small group tour. From the pick up/drop off at the airport, to transfers and hotels, everything was perfectly organized and timely. The tours were comprehensive and we hit every spot you'd want to see in Sicily. Sicily is a beautiful island and the food is some of the best l've ever had. I can't say enough good things about Sicily Activties and the tour. I highly recommend them. If you are interested in visiting Sicily, look no further. You will not be disappointed. This company is reputable and it gets 5 stars from me!!!

    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! 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!
