1. Exclusive tour of Stromboli island, Boat tour with Pasqualo
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 5 reviews
After boarding onto our speedboat from the port in Stromboli, I will take you onto a beautiful tour of the vulcan. We will pass by Ginostra, the other village of Island Stromboli reachable only by boat, where you can have a walk and enjoy the nice and relaxing atmosphere. In Stromboli, the dominant colour of the sea is neon blue, which becomes lighter, greener or more turquoise, depending on where you bathe. I will also bring you to some nice spots for swimming, snorkeling before we move towards the Sciara del Fuoco (Street of Fire). And finally, you will discover what "deep blue" means, in Strombolicchio! The best way to enjoy Stromboli, it is from the sea! and I will be glad to share my passion and knowledge about the island and the vulcan with you.
Inclusions: Private transportation
Exclusions: Snacks

Pasqualo and his team are absolutely amazing! So helpful and reliable. Our tour to the Sciara was absolutely the highlight of our holiday and I cannot recommend it enough. Sitting there in the little boat under the cover of darkness watching the eruptions was just the chance of a lifetime and one of the best nights of my life! We will definitely use Pasqualo again should we return to Stromboli. He is such a sweetheart! Thank you Pasqualo!

Fábio gave us a tour of the places where iconic scenes from The Godfather movies were filmed. It was just me and my Father so he tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and do. His English is excellent, super knowledgeable and explains things very clearly. We learnt lots and had a really good time. Took pictures for us, dropped us off for a few hours in Taormina for lunch then picked us up and took us to a few extra places to take some pictures before coming back down to Catania. He also recommended THE BEST pizzaria we've been to. Very flexible and offers all sorts of tours and trips, just let him know what you need/want! (sometimes even airport transfers) This is his company he is running with his colleague, and he was born and raised in Sicilly, so very passionate and loves his job. Would highly recommend to literally anyone who comes to Sicilly.

Although the owner was pleasant, he seemed to have limited knowledge/information about the wines. The Sicilian dishes supposed to be paired were a piece of bread with sundried tomatoes on it and a fish ball - that’s it, nothing else. Not paired with wines as advertised and no other food or nibbles, again as advertised in the pictures. The wines were nice but but barely a mouthful. Once the restaurant started getting busy we were ignored so just left. Really not worth the money as we walked to a nearby bar a bought a bottle of similar quality wine for €22 and got free snacks!!

I had a great day visiting Mount Etna, learning about the history of the volcano, and previous eruptions. I also enjoyed a wine tasting and tour of a winery. A delicious light lunch was also included, but for me the highlight could have tasting a selection of delicious honeys! Paola my guide was fantastic., and I was the only client,, so it was great to have my own personal guide. I would definitely recommend this tour.

2020 was a difficult year to travel, but if you can make it, it is all worth it! Given the various restrictions imposed on tourism during this period, Activity Sicily still delivered a rich and smooth programme: food was great, tours are interesting, hotels are comfortable and in great locations, and the cooking class is particularly fun. We focused on the food and wine aspects in this tour, the knowledge behind the food provided great insight into Sicilian people, history and culture. Massimo was hands-on all way through the tour to make sure everything went well, and all the guides are professional, knowledgable, and helped us to make the most of the trip during this difficult time. That said, the bonus is -- with hardly any tourists around, we really got to see the place as it is! Thanks Activity Sicily.
