    Brilliant 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.

    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.

    We 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.

    Tour 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 money

    Is 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.

    Tour Details
    • Destination ItaliaOperatorWritten 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.
