About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- SESNoVA0 contributionsAmazing experience!Amazing custom made tour for 8 friends through beautiful Sicily! Tour company could not have been more helpful. I knew what I wanted to see and they helped modify the order to make sense, added a few food /culture events, arranged for outstanding guides and drivers, lovely centrally located boutique hotels and checked in daily during the tour to confirm starting times and guide/driver names. Even when there was a flooding situation, this tour company made everything happen seamlessly! Highly recommended!Written January 10, 2025
- Adventure518607622800 contributionsThe best tour I have ever experienced in the best place I have ever been.This was actually an 11 day customized small group tour (2-7 persons). Because it was off season, it was a private tour. Valeria customized this tour via a face call months before. If I was rating this tour on a scale of 1-100 I would rate it a 200. The tour exceeded any and all expectations we had. I thought originally it was a little pricy, but now I will say it was worth every cent. Our driver, Michele, became a personal friend and we will get together when we return. He was knowledgeable, punctual, and a joy to be with. Nothing I can think to say will give the praise he deserves. All the guides were wonderful, as was every excursion. The hotels were great, with the last two, in Taormina and Móndelo, were an example of saving the best for last. The breakfasts in each hotel put breakfasts in the U.S. hotels to shame. The lunches that were included were also excellent. And the island, what can I say about Sicily? Sicily is a magical place where the land meets the sky, the food is delicious, and the people are warm and friendly. We will definitely return in the future and are already talking about our next trip there. I have a fair amount of travel under my belt, but I have never been to a place I loved as much.Written December 4, 2024
- graysonm3800 contributionsBEST SICILIAN EXPERIENCE EVER!!!We had an incredible 4 day trip ! Starting with the delicious street food tour of Catania with the warm & hospitable Denise. Next, we spent two days with the knowledgeable and insightful Orazio who we hiked Etna with, experienced the exquisite Etna wines, and explored the Godfather villages. Plus, the deeply passionate and inspiring Alfredo who brought to life the essence of Greco-Roman history on our walking tour of the Ancient Teatro Greco of Taormina! Lastly, we finished off our incredible Sicilian trip with the energetic & engaging Antonio exploring the splendid Sicilian cities of Siracusa, Ortigia and Noto to experience the best late baroque architecture Italy/ Sicily has to offer, as well as the filming location of one of the best Tornatore films (Malena) .. It truly felt we were living through a Morricone film score.. Sicily activities was there every step of the booking process to paying attention to all of our needs all the way to our departure! Graziana provided us consistent communication throughout and we will surely be back to utilize their incredible services! If you find yourself in Sicily in the near future, there is no better place to organize the Sicilian trip of a lifetime; full of culture, food, incredible sights and even more incredible people! Siete veramente 🔝🔝🔝🫶🏼😊Written November 21, 2024

Their selection of historical locations, sights, restaurants and hotels were first class. All our guides were passionate, knowledgeable and engaging. They went above and beyond to accommodate the various needs and interests of our family. Alex and her team communicated with us daily and ensured all logistics went smoothly. High praise in particular to Orazio, Carlos, Antonio and Barbara who made our tours extra special.

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 and knowing this is a place we want to come back to even though it is far from New Zealand.

- floundies0 contributionsExcellent attention to detail on a great trip to Sicily!Massimo and every guide employed by Sicily Activities were fantastic. The guide changed at each activity on each day, but we saw the guides with other groups all around town and they always checked in to say hello. Every detail was taken care of, starting at Taormina, down to Syracuse, through Agrigento and up to Palermo. We got the perfect vacation in Sicily, seeing all that it had to offer. I couldn't recommend them enough!Written November 1, 2024
- VickiIF3668OU0 contributionsSicily Great Daily Tours and Delicious FoodWe had a wonderful trip to Sicily, and a big part of that was “Sicily Activities small Group Tour.” For each of the eight days in Sicily, we had a different tour and guide. They were all extremely personable and knowledgeable about the sites we were seeing, and of course the history. The daily tours included, Taormina Food&Wine Tour, Godfather vs Mafia Tour, Taormina Walking Tour & Greek Theatre, Mt. Etna Trip & Etna Winery, Noto Walking Tour & Lunch in Marzamemi, Syracuse Walking Tour, Trip to Agrigento, Guided visit of Temple Valley, and Palermo Walking Tour. My group consisted of four people, and the three others who were also on the tour quickly became friends. The hotels were all four stars, and we were driven to the daily tours and different cities in a Mercedes Van, which was very comfortable. All of our meals in Sicily were great, whether included in the tours or on our own. As is always the case, there were a couple of snags, but Massimo from Sicily Activities always made things right. We had a terrific time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour company to others.Written October 31, 2024
- deemR3731MD0 contributionsWonderful, fully escorted tour of Sicily.We could not have done this trip on our own! From our airport pick up to our airport drop off every detail was designed for our enjoyment and pleasure. We were taken to all the hidden gems you just wouldn’t know about. The drivers and guides were well organised and very professional. We couldn’t recommend Sicily Activities more highly.Written October 31, 2024

- AngelaA4420 contributionsA Great Taste of SicilyThis was a great small group tour which lived up to our expectations. We ended up with a group of six - two couples and two singles. It was different than expected in that we had different guides each day but it worked as each had a passion about what they were showing us and they made it fun and interesting. Thanks to Jerry, Valerie, Orazio and Denise! We also had some local guides in both Syracuse and Palermo so got educated well! It was a wonderful overview of Sicily - the highlights and food/wine. We also had plenty of free time to explore, had a chance to catch up with our new friends made on the tour and had lots of good meals. The transfers were all organised as well so we just had to relax and enjoy the ride! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get a taste of Sicily.Written October 21, 2024

It was a most memorable trip. The Sicily Activity guides are phenomenal! The guides were personable, knowledgeable, helpful and funny! Massimo, the owner of Sicily Activities, has gathered a phenomenal group of guides and coordinators! The communication and coordination by Massimo and his team were excellent.

- TOMANDJILL0 contributionsNot recommendedWe did not enjoy this tour. The first restaurant was packed and loud. Mediocre seafood and small wine portion. We could not hear the guide at all. The second had tiny portions and was equally hot and loud. The third was just standing and eating cannoli on the street. The people in the group were nice but we didn’t learn one thing from the guide so it was basically pricey appetizers of mediocre to poor quality. We don’t recommend this tour.Written October 16, 2024
- robmY62TI0 contributionsIncredible Way to Taste SicilyAbsolutely an amazing adventure! We had a different tour guide each day and we loved them all. Each one brought their love, enthusiasm and knowledge of Sicily to us and each one made us feel as though we were their favorite group ever. We also had time each day to go exploring on our own. All of us agree that this was a unique tour group that went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time and had all we needed.Written October 15, 2024

Our guide Antonio set the tone for an entertaining and informative day enjoying the beautiful countryside and history of Sicily and Mount Etna. He picked us up at the designated time and meeting place and drove us safely from Taormina to the winery for a tour and tasting and then to another location for a delicious family style lunch. The winery guide was also very entertaining and personable. After our tasting we ordered wine to be shipped home and received our delivery within the month. We enjoyed our time immensely and would recommend this tour operator to others.

Orazio was a great guide from beginning to end! He brought the energy early and was able to connect 4 different groups who attended the tour seamlessly.
We visited two wineries. One for tasting with small snacks where we learned about local viticulture, and another where we focused more on lunch while still enjoying local wines!
The pickup and drop off from our hotel was great for us given the craze of the Taormina roads during high season.
We’d definitely book again! Thanks again, Orazio!

Our tour consisted of a visit to a winery with extensive wine tasting, followed by a lunch in a restaurant serving typical local dishes.
Both stops were absolutely amazing: the winery has a spectacular location at the Etna with views across the countryside all the way to the ocean. We got to taste a lot of wine alongside explanations about its history and local types in general; we were even able to get a tour of their cellar and learn about how they work.
After a very scenic ride, we arrived at the restaurant, which again was located beautifully. An amazing range of food was served, including home-made pasta and a pastiche cake.
Our guide (Rosario) was incredibly knowledgeable about the region and its history, which was great and made us enjoy the day even more. We took the tour as a private tour (2 persons), which was possible for a slightly higher price, but likely depends on availability.
Overall, we would very strongly recommend this tour for anybody interested in the region's food, wine and history!

Our guide Salvo was brilliant, picked us up on time and then just one more couple due to Covid restrictions. Excellent communication from the organiser as to what time and vehicle would collect us from our hotel.
We started with a drive to the slopes of mount Etna and to Gambino winery where we enjoyed a taste of five wines, cheese and other nibbles with lots of bread, the tasting area is large and airy and there is a shop where you can order wines to be shipped home which we did :)
We then drove to a farmhouse with a restaurant outside for more food and wine, suitable stuffed!!
Salvo spoke perfect english and had lots of knowledge about Sicily and the local area, we had lots of questions and he was really friendly and welcoming. The roads around Etna are very windy and narrow but we felt very safe.
I would definitely recommend this tour if you enjoy sicilian wine and food, it is very well run and we would definitely do it again if we return. Current covid restrictions mean you will need to wear a mask in the car and when not seated in the tasting room/restaurant areas.

There were 4 of us on our tour and our driver Salvo was incredible, he was very friendly and welcoming and also full of very interesting facts and knowledge throughout the trip, he was also funny and easy to get along with.
The visit to the winery was very good also, everyone who worked at the Gambino winery was friendly and enthusiastic about their work, on top of the fact that the wine was excellent. We tried lots of varieties and had a tour of the cellar which was very informative.
Salvo then took us to a lovely restaurant with views over etna and a vineyard and it was perfect - lovely and interesting foods and more nice wine, then salvo delivered us back to our hotel afterwards.
Overall a very good trip and very good value for money, we will definitely be ordering some gambino wine and would recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area.

This was a wonderful experience from Taormina. Maximo was very responsive via the app to help with coordinating the experience. Orazio was our tour guide, I don’t think we could have had a better guide. He was punctual, friendly, informative…I could go on and on. The pick up was very seem less and the van was big enough for 8 people. The drive to the winery wasn’t very long. When we got there we were greeted with a glass of wine and allowed to enjoy the sweeping views of the coast. From there we went inside and had a tasting of 4 wines and had our own plate of cheeses, olives, eggplant and sun dried tomatoes. Along with bread and hard boiled eggs. Which was all very tasty. From there we drove to a second location where we had a nice lunch of various antipasti and breads. A delicious plate of pasta. Also house wine (red and wine) were provided. Afterwards we had and apertivo and an espresso. Also, It was a wonderful group we we with and I really enjoyed their company and humor. One of the

This was a fantastic tour and experience with excellent value for money. Pick up was on time and there were only four people on the tour including us. Our excellent tour guide and driver Salvo gave a great overview of the history of Sicily and the wineries we were visiting. We arrived at the Gambino Winery up towards Mount Etna and it was such an amazing place. They taught us all about Sicilian wines and let us try 6 glasses of wine as well as fill up our glass for when we toured the cellar. The wines were also reasonably priced as well and worth looking at as they do worldwide shipping. We moved onto lunch at a farmhouse winery and the food was delicious. Definitely worth doing!

We booked a tour for 4 people via the website. It was easy to book and Massimo emailed us straight away to confirm.
In the day we were picked up at 10am by Antonio who was our guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable and told us on the drive to the winery about the landscape etc.
We drove for about 45 minutes and learnt so much about the local area.
Upon arrival at the Gambino Vineyard we were welcomed with cold glasses of white wine and a talk by Nino. He was really nice and very funny too. We had a short tour of the cellar and learnt about the wine making process, grapes etc.
We had a lunch prepared with local fresh foods and wine tasking. The wine was amazing…so much we ordered lots to be sent to the UK!
After photos etc we drive to a local farmhouse restaurant where we had a lunch again with local foods and more wine! Food was delicious and definitely some of the best local produce we have tasted.
After this we returned to our hotel.
Overall this was a fantastic day and we have made some great memories.
Thank you Massimo and team.

Absolutely amazing trip, would highly recommend.
Wine tasting with food pairing was fantastic as was the lunch later, again with lots of Sicilian wine! Our guide Carlos was great and pick up and drop off from our hotel was perfect. It’s relatively expensive but transport ( taxis) in the area are very expensive - add to that the amount of food and wine that’s included and it makes it really great value. Well done Sicily Activities!

This was a great experience. The guide Antonio was great. He was very knowledgeable and taught us about wine, food, Etna, as well as Italian/Sicilian culture and history. His passion for these subjects was truly unmatched, and he answered all of our questions with ease.
The first stop was at the Gambino winery, which is a medium-sized and well-driven operation with splendid views from 900 meters above sea level. It's located at the foot of mount Etna. They served us some great cheese paired with a selection of five wines, before giving us a tour of the cellar.
The last stop was at a local countryside "tavern" close to the city of Randazzo. This was the most authentic food experience we had in Sicily, and was a welcome relief after the tourist trap that is Taormina. We were served a selection of incredible small Sicilian dishes to start, and some great wild boar pasta as a main dish, served with wine from their own vineyard. Since it was Sunday, several local Italian families were dining there as well. This made for a great atmosphere and made it feel like we had been let in on a secret.
All in all, a great tour with great value for money!

We traveled in a van and the seating at the winery and the restaurant would accommodate a child. Sicilians generally are very family friendly. I would suggest contacting the tour company directly to confirm. I tried to give you the e-mail address but tripadvisor would not allow it. The name is Sicily Activities and you can easily find it. You will also save money by booking directly and paying cash.
