“My family very much enjoyed this activity. So many beautiful sites to see. I have mobility challenges and the captain and the Sicily In Travel personnel were very helpful and accommodating. They assisted me with getting on and off the boat. There were others on the boat, along with my family, and they all seemed to be having a good time, too.”

“Wow well what a day! Got met by Gabriel, the sign in was fast and training was concise and brilliant. A quick test of my wife’s and i’s proficiency on the quad and we were away!! The quad was in brilliant shape and a smooth ride (I have repaired and used quads extensively) our trip today was from Cefalù to castelbuono and back.”
A 1-hour Calessino/Tuk-tuk ride through Syracuse and Ortigia with easy stops for photos at the Duomo, Diana Fountain, Aretusa, and Apollo.
“Really good experience- great guides and a fun way to see all the sights in one go. The little Apes could go up all the side streets and in and out of the shaded narrow streets. Great time.”
Ride 1 hour through Sicily’s Alcantara Valley on a quad, mostly off-road. Small group, English support, mobile ticket, and included entry.
“Esperienza bellissima da premettere che non ho mai guidato un Quad prima. È stato emozionante guidare tra vallate sentieri nel guado delle gole, alcune tratte anche su strada. La guida è stata premurosa e attenta davvero molto bravo, l’unica cosa che consiglio è un pantalone lungo perché il quad scalda un pochino la gamba destra. Io ero in pantaloncini e praticamente mi sono abbronzato la gamba dal calore 😂. Per il resto è un esperienza da fare assolutamente”
A fast, story-filled speedboat around Ortigia and Siracusa sea caves, with a swim stop, Prosecco, and seasonal fruit in about 1 hour.
