What people love about Sicily Tours for Seniors
- The Sicilian
Very good tour. Loved almost all the planned destinations and speculate tour guides. It was hot! Therefore a little challenging at times. Would have liked a little mid afternoon down time to exercise, use pool and rest. We did have a few days that offered this and it made the evening better. Otherwise everything was great. It would be nice to have a choice on food as well but understand feeding 40 people is not easy. The food was very good in most places.
We had a fabulous time on this tour . Our guide was excellent, knowledgeable , spoke English well , and was also a kind and caring person. Our driver , Fillipo, was also excellent. Everything was well planned , and I felt we had just enough free time in all the places that we needed to have. Also , and I was not expecting this, at the end of each day Maria would recommend a local restaurant and make a booking for those of the group that wanted to attend for dinner. Most of us usually attended , at our own cost (well priced and local food). She joined us each night also and it was a nice way to finish each day with some nice Sicilian food , wine and company . Highly recommend. Also , unlike other tour companies , no activity was at an extra costs . All included (except the lunches and dinners of course ). Do this tour if you want to see Sicily .
Treasures of Sicily
- Sicily Food Adventure
Sicily was great, the transportation was very good, fellow passengers were a great bunch who mixed well. Food and wine experiences were good, but for me the highlight of the trip was ancient and modern Sicily. The tour guide was lovely and tried very hard but with limited English understanding, was not able to provide any significant on board commentary or quell the frustrations that accrued as we drove from place to place. Accommodation throughout the tour was average to good and the weather was just perfect.
