Great adventure in all respects! - Michele, Marco and Titiana are true professionals and fun to spend time with! The canyoning is great. We did not try the Alcantara as there was too much water this time of the year, but the group had a great alternative river with good canyons, lots of rappelling, and great waters (although cold in February :)). In addition to the instructive and fun activity we enjoyed, our guides were really friendly, reflective and knowledgable. Thus, we got tons of great input to all our other Sicily adventures. Michele and his team truly added significant value to our overall stay - far beyond this great canyoning event. We will definitely come back both to try the Alcantara gorge, but also to share a cup of coffee and stories next time we are in Sicily!

Fun Group Trip - Went with two of my friends and a party of 4 other people from Germany and had a great time. All of the equipment was provided as was a meal after the activity. Picked us up directly from the Apartment we were staying at and dropped us off there at the end of the trip. No hassle, good value, great time!

Bring a dry pair of socks and underwear or bathing suit. Also, an added bonus was a morning stop to sample a local breakfast and a follow-up lunch after the canyoning. The canyoning itself was exhilarating. Safety was foremost. A very unique experience for our group of 3 fit seniors. Kudos to Titiana and Marco for providing an excellent adventure!</p>

The instructions were clear and thorough, all the necessary equipment was provided and our safety was always ensured. The descent was perfect for beginners, but still very exciting, not to mention beautiful! They even gave us pictures and videos from the day and we stopped and got cherries at a local market on the way home. 10/10 I would highly recommend.</p>

One guide's English was good, while the other's are working on it, but it wasn't a problem at all. This trip will appeal to those who love the outdoors! Repelling down several waterfalls was exhilarating and walking through the river was just as enjoyable. It was strenuous, but I'm on the older side and had no problems with the activities. The guide took pictures of our experience and gave us a memory card with the pictures that day! After our excursion the guides even offered to take us to a local cafe to try out the local fare. We did and it added to our overall experience. It isn't your typical sightseeing, but it was such a memorable outing. It was great!</p>

Wow, what an awesome experience! The... - <p>Wow, what an awesome experience! The guides were fun an exciting. Safety was top priority. Only one guide spoke English, but it was okay. I would recommend wearing your bathing suit under your clothes before pick up in the morning. The men all wore speedo type suits to easily fit under the wet suit, other things might work too. I wore a one piece suit which I would recommend. I recommend shoes with good tread for griping against wet rock. I used hiking shoes and they were perfect, but they were soaked and took a couple days to dry out. We rapelled 4 or 5 waterfalls and slid down some fun water rapids. They took pictures during the experience but it's been a couple weeks and they have not yet emailed them to me. <br/> Overall, I'd say this is a must do for adventure seekers!</p>
