    Truly exceptional experience, Alessio was an absolutely fantastic guide and was on hand to help wherever needed. Mr. Pino was an incredible driver amongst some of the absolutely crazy drivers we were unfortunate to witness around major cities particularly Catania and Palermo. Id have to say our highlight was seeing the ancient Greek ruins in Agrigento, also Mt Etna and some of the food was amazing. Was unfortunate not to get to a Street Market like Ballaro or Vucceria when in Palermo as tourists always rave about it. But given this was a landscapes and secrets tour wasn't really an important agenda item which i understood. What helped a lot was that our group as a collective was quite good so it made the trip easier with some great conversations. Id like to thank all the tour guides for their expert knowledge and explanations of Sicilian life and its historic origins. My suggestion is to allow a couple of additional days such as at the spa hotel in Agrigento to enjoy the private beach and pool/facilities and a couple of days stop in Taormina to rest and relax enjoying Blue Grotto & Isola Bella as well as the many bout tours in the area. This breaking up of the tour a little would help people relax and enjoy it a bit more in my opinion, as the pace despite attempts to slow it down, can be fairly frenetic at times.

    Very informative and fast paced tour. Happy with our guide and driver. However some hotels did not live up to our expectations. One was İl Principe in Catania which had e dless plumbing issues.. also breakfast selections were much poorer than other hotels. Chocolate demo in Modica(?) was also unnecessary waste of time..

    This 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.

    The 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.

    I 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.
