We had a fantastic 14 days with overnight stays in six locations—all arranged by Handy Sicily and Paolo who were fantastic as a guide and companion, and in planning and customizing to meet our interests and needs.

We wouldn’t have included the eye-popping Roman mosaics at the Villa Casale, which became a highlight of our trip, except for Paolo. We didn’t know if our physical limits and rest needs would keep us out of hill towns like Cefalu, Erice and Ragusa Ibla, and stunning Greek temples and theatres near Selinunte, Agrigento, Ortygia and Taormina but Paolo made it happen. Is a sudden rain shower interrupting a Syracuse walk? No problem—Paolo proposes an unscheduled drive to see a Caravaggio painting in a nearby Church and an ancient coin collection that knocked our socks off in a nearby Museum.

He chose hotels for us also, which were excellent—and more affordable than some. In addition to all the local knowledge, Paolo went out of his way to help us meet our needs and preferences in food, sundries, and people-watching .If you’re interested in a customized tour of Sicily and a private driver, for either long or short trips, we feel Paolo and Handy Sicily are the top of the line and deserve 5 stars--at least!.

Traveling with Paolo throughout Sicily was a spectacular adventure that exceeded all our expectations! Paolo planned the perfect itinerary based on his deep understanding of history and culture. His passion for Sicily and wealth of knowledge was evident in everything he planned, from our trips to archeological parks to exquisite hotel properties and dining experiences throughout our journey. Each day brought new experiences that opened our eyes to the diversity of culture and breaktaking landscapes of each region. Paolo is a first class guide and driver, extremely professional and a charming travel companion. We hope to have many more excursions throughout Sicily with him. We highly recommend Handy Sicily!

We had a great tour. Yvonne, our guide was charming and very knowledgeable. She was able to guide us around the remarkable sights in Noto, with lots of information and background regarding the various architectural styles and the beautiful buildings we saw. The tour was well worth it, and we would recommend it to all visitors to Noto.

What luck to have connected with Handy Sicily before our recent trip to Sicily. We utilized the agency on 4 occasions and Paolo and his team were outstanding. Paolo's communication before during and after our trip was 5 star all the way. Paolo not only set up excursions but made suggestions that allowed us to include things we would have missed ---and restaurant tips too! We were lucky enough to have Paolo as a driver & guide on two day tips ---Catania to Midica/Ragusa and Palermo to Erice/Trapani/Marsala, as well as a driver on another that he didn't feel we would benefit from the extra expense of a guide and he just directed us to the must-sees in that town [Taormina]. On our transfer from Palermo to Catania we had one of his drivers [safe, professional & prompt] and an independent tour guide at the Roman Villas ---she was extremely knowledgeable & it was such a lovely outing. We utilized Handy Sicily all over Sicily & as transfers from Palermo to Catania and back with detours on both trips. Cannot recommend enough ---prompt, courteous, professional, reasonably priced and very knowledgeable. Grazie mile Paolo, alla prossima!

Paolo gave a fabulous tour! His English was excellent, and he was full of information. He made the tour fun and enjoyable for our mixed group of travelers in our fifties and early twenties. We will look for Paolo if we are ever in Sicily again, and we will eagerly refer him to any of our traveling friends. We had a few logistical and timing issues to work around, and Paolo was fantastic to accommodate us. Thanks again to Paola for an unforgettable experience.

Sicily if mind-blowing. From the beauty of the countryside to the rich history of the cities, temples, churches and the layers of different cultures they represent, there is a never ending amount of mental stimulation.
Beautiful wines, cocktails and food. Very friendly people. Two great winery tours included.
Above all was the friendly, relaxed professionalism of our wonderful guide(s).
Everything happened with a minimum of fuss. Excellent transport in air conditioned Mercedes Benz comfort.
I recommend Handy Sicily. Highly!
