    Caspin was wonderful from the beginning. First of all, I was able to call them from the US and speak with Pino and Caroline directly to ask questions. While traveling, Pino and Caroline anticipated practically all of our needs, chose great hikes, and found wonderful restaurants. I particularly loved the picnic lunches that often just appeared at the end of our hike! Pino and Caroline became our friends, and I still consider them my friends.

    I have been fortunate to have made two trips with Caspin Journeyr. Both times every detail was well planned. Hotels and meals where carefully selected and of the highest quality. The pace of travel adjusted to the group's wishes. The sights were spectacular and truly memorable. Each overall experience exceeded all my expectations. The best part was the warmth and friendship extended by the tour guides who are also the owners of the company. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a luxurious yet active vacation seeing spectacular sights.

    Fantastic. Wonderful route put together by Carolina and Pino, a native Sicilian. They unearthed gems we would not have discovered on our own.

    A glorious trip in a beautiful place led by warm, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible people with a love of life, a sense of humor and a desire to please. I've been lots of places and guided by lots of people. None better anywhere than Caspin.

    I thought they did a terrific job in accommodating us and ensuring we had a good time! I would like to take another trip with them. I even feel confident that if I asked them to design a trip different from the current trips they do.....would be excellent too! They are a lovely couple and I always felt very safe traveling with them.

    This was an extraordinarily well-organized and wide-ranging tour through Sicily, from coastal cities to mountaintop villages to volcanic islands, prehistoric caves, and astonishing archaeological sites. The hikes were challenging at times, but always breathtakingly gorgeous. Caroline and Pino are an amazing team, always making sure that everything works seamlessly. Great hotels and restaurants, too.

      Do you still have any availability for the 10/19/25 departure date? We were hoping to join the early Oct trip but see it is already sold out...do you get cancellations?

    • Caspin JourneysOperatorWritten January 2025

      Unfortunately there is only 1 space left on the 10/19/2025 departure, and it sounds like you might be 2? All our other Sicily tours for 2025 are fully booked as well. I can put you on a waitlist, but to be perfectly honest we rarely get cancellations.
