With a couple of friends I made this tour. After a pleasent ride, with a coffee stop, we arrived at Villa Romana del Casale, where we admired the beautiful mosaïcs. In the neighborhood from the Villa, Giovanni arranged a nice lunch at a very good restaurant. After that we continued the journey to the Valle dei Templi, where we enjoyed the wonderful temples and a stunning sunset. Giovanni has an comfortable car, is an excellent driver, is enthusiastic, very kind and is doing his utmost to make you feel at ease. It was a marvelous day. Highly recommended!

We did the half day tour. Great experience, combining off-road quad biking with seeing parts of Etna away from the tourist trail. Took a little while to get used to the quad off road, but after that it was great fun. Don't underestimate the note about dust - old clothes essential!

After boarding onto our speedboat I will take you onto a beautiful tour of the vulcan. We will first go to Ginostra then I will bring you to the Sciara del Fuoco. You will enjoy the beautiful eruptions of Stromboli and an amazing sunset too !! I find it always a fantastic experience ! I have been living in Stromboli for over 30 years and I love this island! but more precisely the vulcan! Stromboli is not only one of the many beautiful islands of the Mediterranea Sea, but it is the only one where volcanic activity takes place unceasingly in front of our very eyes, and where the visitor can see the explosions so it makes sense that the best way to enjoy it is from the sea!

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Take a cash for the aperitivo - Drinks and Finger foods are not included

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!

I booked this tour online and paid €60. When I arrived at the port I saw the same trip was €40 if bought there. I paid an additional 50%for the privilege of booking online!!! Also I had to pay an additional €2.50 City tax which wasn't notified. I contacted the company and they said it was tour operator costs - no refund. They said no one had complained before - I find that really hard to believe. Unless you like throwing your money away I'd suggest waiting until you get to the port. The trip itself is enjoyable and the islands are lovely. Under covid they, naturally can't provide snorkeling equipment but definitely bring your own. So worth it. Lunch was pasta with tinned tomato and slice of melon. Bottled water was a plastic cup with lunch. A good day out if you can get past the rip off.

We took the Wonders of Palermo walking tour through the historic centre of the city. By far the best way to get to know and become familiar with the long history of the city. The tour guide was excellent, who has deep insight into Sicily’s complex historical and contemporary issues. Great unhurried way to explore the city. Highly recommended

Hands-down the best historical house tour I’ve been on, and I’ve done many! The Palazzo is extraordinarily beautiful and well-maintained. Especially fantastic is the peek of the old painted ceilings. The tour includes both historic details and personal details about the family. My tour guide was the younger son and the older son sold my ticket. Both were very friendly, unassuming, and warm. I really enjoyed the tour. If you are in Sicily, make a trip to Palermo and see the Palazzo!
