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.

I had no idea what to expect when I travelled to Sicitly. But I was amazed by the scenery, culture, food and mostly the history. Angela our tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional and great fun to be around, nothing was too much trouble. Her home town of Cefalu was amazing! Giuseppe our bus driver was the best and did a fantastic job driving us around safely and I was amazed that he could fit all bags in!

My husband and i returned from Sicily and used Panormus on several occasions to help us explore the island. Our driver was Mimmo and he was an absolute delight...he was so accomodating, pleasant, interesting and spoke very good English! We loved being with him and would recommend anyone ask to have him as your driver! Panormus is an excellent company...they respond quickly to inquiries and make the process of arrangements flawless...don't consider using any other company. Their prices are comparable with everyone else so you are not overpaying when using them. We felt completely taken care of and we are so happy that they were the company we used! And, as an extra bonus, Mimmo and Marcus went to the trouble of picking up some magnets that I wanted and did not buy enough of in the market in Palermo and gave them to me as a parting gift...it doesn't get better than that!!

This tour was truly outstanding. The food was delicious, and our guide Dario was very engaging, informative, and fun! The tour was very customized to our needs.

We booked the Santa Margherita and Portofino tour during the same cruise where we also booked Roma, Marseilles and Palermo. We have decided to do that at that time because we wanted to take advantage of the opportunities a cruise can give you, which is having dinner and sleep on the boat then wake up the next day in a different city and discover that city, and boy we were right: Especially that we were advised and served by Tour Travel and More, which have been proving, once again to us, that they are so passionate about their business that they oversees your expectations. The tour was excellent and our guide again was very passionate and knowledgeable together with the comfort and cleanliness of the car. Inclusive at a point in time, the road was closed because of a small landslide, and the driver together with our guide proposed a different activity in order not having to wait. We had a wonderful time and felt at all times overwhelmed by all the attention and the kindness of the staff. Thank you again

we did this tour just to go to Castelbouno, the winery was a nice addition. Castelbuono is the home to the maker of the best panettone in all of Italy. We enjoyed the free samples & had only seen Castelbuono at night, 6 years ago. It was lovely to see it in the daylight, along with all the lovely residents. One huge concern...our original bus had a problem with the speaker so it was changed out nearby. We noticed that the tires on this bus were BALD, no treads! These buses go up high on narrow mountain roads, this is crazy & dangerous! Fortunately, our new bus had slightly better tires, but we were glad for the speaker glitch.

We had the most wonderful time in Sicily. Our tour company Ape Tour Cinisi led by the knowledgeable Umberto were excellent. We were taken to the best spots for the best cannoli and other delights. The trip to Erice and Trapani was simply breathtaking. We will be back and we will most certainly use this tour company again.
