- JMJohn· June 5th, 2025Brilliant tour, Pino the driver and Placido the tour guide were excellent. Everything was on time and well explained. I am amazed at how much knowledge Placido has about the various places we visited. Thoroughly enjoyable.Show moreTrip date: May 2025

- Nnicoleta· March 27th, 2025This trip covered all the best highlights of Sicily. Rita our tour guide was awesome. At times it was fast paced. My family was younger so it was fine but my older parents found it tiresome. The hotels we stayed at were all lovely and well located. The restaurants that we all ate as a group were very nice. The only thing I would do is maybe less cities and more half days to explore.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- Robin· November 27th, 2024The tour was first class. Itinerary was well thought out also with suitable breaks throughout for independent activity - and the lunchtime meal beaks were good for sampling fine food, for interaction with others in group and to rest weary legs. The guide was a delight - knowledgeable, friendly and with perfect English. The hotels were lovely and well located. Congratulations to EVERBODY involved in the tour - at coal face and in background.Show moreTrip date: November 2024

- Farah· July 10th, 2024I had a lot of fun on this trip and am thoroughly grateful. Angelo, our tour guide, was amazing and went above and beyond to help us. You can tell he loves his job and loves sicily. Our driver, Vino, was exceptional - he got us to our destinations safely, driving was unfussy, and generous in bringing us to hidden spots for better views. Our tour group was excellent (kudos to everyone for always being on time and engaging), and the itinerary was a good mix of informative and free time. Improvements: food catered by external restaurants or partnered hotels should be vetted a bit more extensively as there were some included meals that were slightly disappointing.Show moreTrip date: June 2024
- Gail· June 3rd, 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, but it was a Secrets of Sicily tour not Absolutely Sicily. I know the claim is they are exactly the same, which they are, but with a different price. This is something that is very misguiding on your website and when I contacted Tourradar about this I was just fobbed off to the Italian operator who made no sense in their explanations.Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- PFPierino· November 22nd, 2023The first 3 lunches were bad especially Tarormina the food was inedible . We had difficulty understanding him as spoke way too fast . When Franco took over all was different . The food was really good and there was plenty Franco was excellent He was systematic spoke clearly and was entertainingShow moreTrip date: November 2023
- SNSharon· November 3rd, 2023Tour actually run by Sicillian Secrets, except for the last day, which was a private tour I assume organised through Destination Italia. Good coverage of the attractions, a competent and hard working guide and very pleasant extras. Meals provided were more than generous and most hotels great. Good value for moneyShow moreTrip date: October 2023

Aaron
Asked on January 27th, 2025I prefer a small group tour as I did with Tour Radar in 2022.
- Destination ItaliaOperator•Written January 2025
I do not know if you booked with us back in 2022 but this tour is a group tour and the group can reach up to 50 people and you move with a big bus. Is this still something you would like to book?

Wendy
Asked on January 21st, 2025Is there an English only tour? Can we go to local restaurants for dinner rather than eating prepared group meals at hotels? Comments about food were not good.
- Destination ItaliaOperator•Written January 2025
the tours are multilingual. Referring to the dinner, obviously you are free to go on your own local restaurants even if the dinner is already included in the package cost.

Sean
Asked on December 27th, 2024Is it confirmed that this trip will take place? Because we need to book our plane tickets from Athens to Catania and after bying them we cannot change the dates. Can you give us the name of the hotel in Catania? We plan to arrive one day earlier and leave two days later from the trip. Can you give us approximately the cost of the city taxes that we will have to pay to the hotel? What is the privilidge package? How much does it cost? When you say "tickets" you mean the entrance tickets to the museums and sites? Is this package interesting for us or is it better to pay each time on site?
- Destination ItaliaOperator•Written December 2024
The trip dates are garanteed departures. The hotels names will be available only 1 week before departure whe we will upload the documents - I can only tell you that the hotel in Catania will be Il Principe or a similar one. The city taxes are approximately 2,5€ per person per night in every city except for palermo where the city tax will be approximately 4€ per person per night. We have 3 types of privilege package: 1) Silver Privilege Package which includes city taxes and entrance tickets as per program - 190€ per person 2) Gold Privilege Package which includes city taxes, entrance tickets as per program and transfers in and out - 250€ per person 3) Platinum Privilege Package which includes city taxes, entrance tickets as per program, transfers in and out and superior/deluxe room - 560€ per person
