From Sicily Activities

The foundational concept of Sicily Activities was to create something special – something beyond the classic idea of a typical tour operator. The main idea was to provide exceptional luxury service to visitors while also offering affordable prices. “Luxury” in this case is not simply providing elevated services such as priority entrances, expensive cars, and professionally-dressed drivers, it is more about carefully responding to our guests’ requests and pay attention to details.

Sicily Activities aims to provide a superior personalized approach for every guest – to anticipate the guest’s needs and make them feel like they are truly home away from home. This ideology became the commitment of every member of the Sicily Activities team. Each member, from drivers to travel designers, are responsible for creating a dream vacation for each of our guests.
We always engage our guests to get to know them and to feel what they like and dislike before offering them the first Itinerary or any travel ideas around the island. With some guests we only need two or three emails to finalize the perfect itinerary, although with more discerning clients we can talk for months leading up to their arrival.

Every guest and every approach is different, but it’s always a pleasure when we become friends even before we meet each other face-to-face in Sicily. The greatest satisfaction, though, comes later when we get the long emails with their feedback, photos, videos, and their gratitude and enthusiasm to come back to Sicily soon. That’s the real reward!
