    Over the top GREAT. The guides were absolutely amazing. Prompt, on time, very personable and accommodating. Alexandra could not have been nicer. We had 3 couples, all from different states so arrival and departure times were different, and all went like clockwork. Great accommodations in perfect locations.

    Really enjoyable, guides were very informative and helpful. Accommodation could improve, hotel in Taormina and Siracusa were more a 3 star not 4 Star, would rather pay a bit more and have better appointed rooms, but great value for money.

    The cooking class in Taormina was great. The winery outside Taormina was very nice. The winery near Mt. Etna was nice. The Drive to Syracuse with stop in Noto was fine but not too much info was given about Syracuse when we were dropped off. We had to figure out where the main shops, restaurants, etc were on our own. Walking tour of Ortigia was mediocre. Guide didn’t seem too into it and was late to arrive. The drive to Palermo was very long and the driver/guide barely talked to us. Never told anything about the places/towns we were driving by etc. The Palermo tour guide was the best of all. Very informative and engaging. Enjoyed our trip and enjoyed Taormina and Palermo the most.
