What are people saying about Sicily

Seth_B, Oct 2026

Beaches, Blue Water, and Boat Rides

This was the first boat tour i did with multiple groups. Enjoyed getting to meet new people, and the staff was great. From the knowledge of the area, the snacks and drinks, to the time out in the water. Only thing i missed was the "bring your own towels" disclaimer. Make sure you bring one with you!

You'll love this

A terrific blend for those wanting to know more about Etna, without climbing it. Allesandro is a font of knowledge and a delight to be with. Hos passion shines through. Loved the vineyard visit also. We were so lucky to be there when the folks were harvesting grapes by hand, and we saw the first part of the journey onto wine. A great local visit.

Chef Massimo is amazing.

Chef Massimo is incredible. The visits to the market and butcher shop were very informative. He explained and helped with every part of the food preparation and answered every question. He's extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The food and wine were amazing. This was our 2nd time with his class and will definitely go again! Highly recommend.

Etna and Wine an experience between nature and aromas with taste.

Dawn_M, Oct 2026

I had a wonderful time....

I had a wonderful time. It is cold on the mountain, bring a jacket and wear pants. Alex, the tour guide, was the best we could've asked for. He knows EVERYTHING. The description doesn't say much about the wine tasting. They provide a ton of food and drink. It is totally worth it! Everyone in the group was fantastic!

This tour was amazing and Luca, our guide, was incredible.

Perfect small-group Sicily experience for wine&food lovers

This tour was the highlight of our long weekend break on Sicily. Orazio was the perfect guide, telling us a lot of interesting things about the island, the language, the traditions, the connection between the people and the Etna during the drive. At the winery he handed us over to another guide who took us on a short walk along the vines and then into the cellar. Then came the tasting session - 3 lovely wines and incredible small plates to go with them, followed by a short drive to a restaurant where we were treated to more courses and more wines. Everything was delicious, we all had a great time - the perfect gastrotourism experience!

Private walking tour Palermo

A great tour that gives you an insight into the city’s history and culture. You can’t pick different durations to suit your needs, we did 3hrs. Our guide was super knowledgeable and showed us all the major sites and some parts we probably wouldn’t have seen. She also gave us great advice on some of the best places to visit and where to eat. All in all the tour gave us a good understanding of the area and how to navigate the city. Thank you.
