    My husband and I with 3 other couples of our friend group went on a Sicily Food and Wine Small group tour, including pre- and post- extended stay organized by Massimo and Alex. It was a dream vacation, absolutely incredible fairytale experience. Massimo and Alex were very professional and flexible. Because we filled the van with 8 people, which is the max size for small groups, we customized it for our needs. In order to have less travelling and more relaxation, we replaced the last 2 days in Palermo with the 5-star gorgeous resort near Siracusa – Minareto. Massimo suggested it, and was the highlight of our trip, gorgeous seaside luxury resort with unbelievable views and service, and a private sand beach. During our tour, they were very flexible when we wanted to make small changes as well and always responded quickly. Communication with the team was ongoing and helpful! The hotels they included were perfect, and always very convenient central locations. The drivers and guides were ALWAYS on time or earlier. Most lunches were included, and they were arranged in small, beautiful places, with delicious food and wine, the table was always set before we even got there. The tour was perfectly organized for us to see a lot, yet to have a restful and totally amazing carefree experience. Our favorite guide, Antonio, was totally superb – fun, kind, social, professional and extremely knowledgeable! Couldn’t ask for a more awesome guide! Oratsio was also excellent. Overall the scenery was spectacular, and our trip was totally amazing ! We are now planning to go with them to Amalfi coast in the next year or so, and we would go to other locations with them if they organized similar tours with a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxing. Thanks to Massimo and his team of knowledgeable, responsible and professional colleagues of Sicily Activities, we had a dream of a vacation, it was a fairytale!

    The entire tour was well-planned. All of the events began on time, transportation was seamless, and the group had a great time. We really loved Antonio our primary tour guide! I loved how we had group time and private time each day as well.

    Over the top GREAT. The guides were absolutely amazing. Prompt, on time, very personable and accommodating. Alexandra could not have been nicer. We had 3 couples, all from different states so arrival and departure times were different, and all went like clockwork. Great accommodations in perfect locations.
