    Responsible business
    Two days with Enjoy Sicily were amazing! Reliable, friendly, and flexible, with the best spots to get a taste of Sicily in a short term. One day we spend in Taormina & Isolabela with Claudio, a knowledgeable, easy-going guide. He eagerly shares about any topic, and cares about every guest, also safely drives you between spots (on no-rule roads, haha). The next day was for Etna with Fabricio. We were lucky to get a private tour of a must-visit volcano. Advice: rent hiking shoes with high socks for the best experience. After Fabricio did a stop at local farmers - so tasty!!! Thanks for adding colours to our vacation)

    10/10 experience
    We couldn't have wished for a more perfect day. Captain Giuseppe proved to be a very kind and professional person and his crewmember Andra was the same.

    Even when my partner got a bit (sea)sick, they were very patient and they put a priority on how she felt.

    The talks were great, the food was lovely and the overall vibe was very relaxing. There also were many opportunities to swim. We had ab unforgettable experience and would highly recommend it.

    I want to go sailing again!
    This was our first time in a yacht and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the trip. It felt so difficult from all the other boat trips we have taken in the past. Our Skipper Gian-Luca explained to us the basics of sailing and his assistant Alberto was very knowledgeable about the local coastline and geography. Their professionalism and friendliness really made our trip enjoyable and one we shall always remember.
    I normally feel quiet bored on boat trips but sailing is so different as there is just the sound of the waves and the wind. I would definitely do this trip again as it is great value and a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in Catania.

    Sicily, the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea!
    It is difficult to write what my heart feels, as there are no words for describing the inner beauty of the people of Sicily, and the gorgeous island that is my family’s homeland. Gianca & Rosella are the embodiment of our cherished island. This was a life long dream to visit Sicily where my nonna and nonno had once lived before crossing the ocean making their new lives in the U.S. My husband and I, along with my brother, sisters, and their spouses went on a two-week pilgrimage traveling across Sicily from northwest of Palermo to Carlentini and further south; we saw and experienced all the beauty, delicious foods, wines, music, culture, and the rich ancient history along the way of our beloved island. Most wonderful was meeting our cousins, famiglia in Carlentini, it is so meaningful and we feel so blessed that now we are able to stay in touch with one another. “Dreams Do Come True” and Gianca & Rosella are absolutely incredible planners and guides, so professional, personable and fun; we now call them our dear friends. We love you two, and can’t wait to visit and enjoy time together in Sicily again sometime soon! Bill & Mary Anne “Maria Anna" Muldoon ❤️🇮🇹❤️

    Boat Trip
    So to counteract another review review on here, I attack some photos of the same day for balance.

    I sailed the boat, did some sailing when it was possible and sea conditions were safe.

    I recommend CharlieTheTraveler to anyone who hates to plan trips on their own time
    If you have the chance to go on this tour, just do it. Don’t think too much about it and do it. Because you won’t regret it. Charlie is amazing at planning tours like these, and this Sicily tour is just as great as his other ones (take it from someone who has been on a few other of his tours). I love his tour because I just get to travel stress-free since I know he already has everything taken care of. I recommend CharlieTheTraveler to anyone who hates to plan trips on their own time:))

    An extraordinary experience
    Yesterday was our second sailing experience with Ivan, and it was just as great as the first time. Ivan is very welcoming and interesting to talk to and listen about his sea adventures. The coast is wonderful and the trip was amazing. We'll definitely repeat it again with Ivan when we come back next time.

    Great day out on the water
    We had Ana amazing experience with Sicilian Sailing Tours.
    Started already with the friendly and fast answers per What's App to clarify details about the booking. Booking and reservation went easy online. Arriving at the port, we could park in a secured location, in front of the pier.
    We were greeted by Captain Ivan and after the short formalities where on board the boat.
    He explained us a lot about the island, the mythology, the geography and the Volcano Etna.
    We had a easy ride to the Cyclops Island with many stops (as many as we asked for) to swim and enjoy the water. We had a nice lunch with a Tomato Mozzarella salad and fresh cooked pasta with tomato sauce.
    Ivan always made sure the kids were well and safe and was really nice to them as well.
    Towards the end, already on the way back, we spotted some dolphins and we were able to follow them for a while and take many pictures and enjoy the view. We then sailed back to the marina and said our good byes to the amazing crew. When we are back to Sicily, we'll definitely book again and hopefully will meet Ivan again!

    Boat trip at night with romantic dinner
    It was a nice experience, great food and appetizers, friendly stuff... We will do it another time surly... But we did not know that we can swim at night so we did not bring swimsuit with us.
    We recommend to bring swimsuit in the bag if you want to try the swim experience at night.

    Amazing sailing experience!
    Everything about this experience was absolutely perfect, starting with the friendly, funny, and knowledgeable crew. Davide and Antonella took us sightseeing, swimming, and snorkeling and served us the most amazing pasta, appetizers, and fruit, all ingredients freshly bought from the Catania Piazza del Pesce.
    They taught us the basics of sailing and explained everything with patience and passion.
    Antonella is an amazing, inspiring, and strong woman, with great bubbly energy.
    Would totally return for more sea adventures and good food and I would definitely recommend this experience.
