    This tour was as close to perfect as possible. The tour guides were knowledgeable and personable; the logistics of moving from hotel to hotel, town to town, were smooth and easy. And if any questions came up along the way, the office staff would answer our texts immediately. Our group of seven was in Sicily heaven from beginning to end!

    Sicily is a wonderful place blessed with natural beauty, a rich culture and history. What really brings it alive is when you have enthusiastic and knowledge guides who take you on the journey through the ages to fully describe the architecture, the history, the food, the wine and people that makes this region such a great place to visit. We were very lucky to have such a dedicated set of guides who not only shared their knowledge and wisdom, but made sure we were looked after and taken care off every step of the way.

    This tour could not have been easier! Every single tour guide and driver showed up where they were supposed to be when they were supposed ot be there. All of the hotels were ready for us when we arrived, were clean, and hosted wonderfu breakfasts. The actual tours were informational and engaging! The food was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better trip!

    Our choice of Sicily Activities for a private comprehensive tour of Sicily met all our expectations. We spent 14 days staying in Taormina, Siracusa, Ragusa and Palermo. Every day featured an activity of a walking tour or a drive to a regional site that provided an interesting location to wander around with an excellant choice of restaurants for great Sicilian food and wine. The guides provided were friendly, knowledgeable and amenable to any changes we wanted in that day's itinerary. All in all, a great vacation arranged by a top notch tour company. Sicily Activities.
