Private Tours & Trips in Italy
Pompeii froze in 79 AD, and you can walk those streets now. Head to the Amalfi Coast and enjoy twisting roads along dramatic cliffs, or Capri's sunset on a boat trip. Don’t forget Naples, where pizza here tastes totally different, Vesuvius vineyards in volcanic soil, and Matera's Sassi caves. Dont forget Pisa's leaning tower, Tuscan wineries, and learn to make mozzarella with your own hands.

Excellent - / Good +++ The concept, content, and delivery of the tour were excellent! The places and sites visited were well selected and planned and the van was very comfortable. The additional tour package that we bought was worth the money. And, most importantly, we were lucky enough to have Marco as our driver/guide-the very best person for this job in all of Sicily! He truly made our journey special. A few small negatives: the chocolate shop and winery tours were OK but not great, one or two of the hotels could have been better, and the trip felt rushed on some days. We would suggest that you keep the same places but extend the nights by one or two so that there would be a little more free time and fewer places to visit in one day.
Private Tour of Sicily from Palermo to Palermo - RM
Rosemary • traveled in June
Massimo of Sicily Activities was wonderful to work with. He always answered right away, and took care of EVERYTHING throughout the trip--even things that weren't strictly part of the tour. We were a private group of 15. PALERMO: The hotel was wonderful and Fabrizio was a great guide for the food tour. Luca was a great driver to Monreale and Cefalu'. Larisa was a good guide for the Monreale cathedral and Lisabeta in Cefalu' was fantastic--and the restaurant was, too. Claudio, our driver to Agrigento and Siracusa was excellent. The guide at Valley of the Temples was good. An amazing place. SIRACUSA: The hotel was lovely and in a great location. Both guides in Ortigia were great--Valerio for the walking tour and Paolo for the foodie dinner--what a fun man. Paolo, the driver to Noto, Villa Romana del Casale and Taormina was fantastic. Saro was an excellent guide in Noto and Mt Etna. Lunches in both Noto and Piazza Amerina were delicious. Patrizia, the guide for Villa Romana, was wonderful, especially when we needed an ambulance for one of the women to go to the hospital. And dear Massimo even arranged a taxi for me from the hospital back to Siracusa (about an hour and half away). The driver was the nicest man! TAORMINA: Another very nice hotel. Our guide for the walking tour was really good. She was patient as we were a little late getting ready to start the tour, but she still took us to the Greek Theatre in the rain and wind. The tour to Mt Etna was fabulous--both the tasting and the lunch. Massimo even arranged a pizza-making class when weather prevented us from going on our scheduled boat ride. In summary, there was nothing Massimo could have done better. And this is at a time when all the tour directors were overwhelmed with bookings. He was a standout!
