- BRBlanca· October 10th, 2019The itinerary was great, but I think a bit much per 4 days. The guide walked and talked too fast, and was not very personableShow moreTrip date: October 2019

Destination Italia commented on this reviewDear client, thanks for your feedback. I will report your comments to our local supplier. Best wishes, Giorgio - Gartour by Destination ItaliaTrip date: September 2019- JMJulie· July 25th, 2019We were a bit reluctant to go on a group tour. However, we found that we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and appreciated the additional knowledge of our guide which we would not have accessed if we travelled independently. The tour was well organised, interesting and was a very efficient way to see many different sites in a short space of time. The hotels were impressive and comfortable. We would strongly recommend this tour as an ideal way of seeing what Sicily offers in a short space of time.Show moreDestination Italia commented on this reviewDear Julie, many thanks for your great review!

- RLRosemarie· July 11th, 2019Placido was excellent Very knowledgeable, patient, energetic and enthusiastic. All the places were amazing and the extra guides in Agrigento, Lorenzo were also excellent. The food in a couple of the Hotels was a little disappointing. The bus driver Angelo also very very good. I do feel the bus and how people chose their seats was not organized. I have been on other tours where seats were rotated to make it fair so that the same people not stuck in the back.Show moreTrip date: June 2019
- RCReinhard· June 13th, 2019Highly recommended, but the last hotel Romano House in Catania could improve their serviceShow moreDestination Italia commented on this reviewDear Reinhard, we're so happy to hear your enthusiastic review!

- Regina· June 12th, 2019Included destinations were a "must-see" for a comprehensive tour of Sicily. I feel it should have been more spread out by 1 or 2 days so as not to feel so rushed; some days with too many hours on the bus and too early a start in the day. Placido was a very good guide. His flluency in English was very good albeit sometimes difficult to understand ( pronunciation.) Also, perhaps too much detail in historical context for the casual (non-academic) tourist. The included dinner in Pallermo, by general consensus of the tour members, was not good. Many dinners left unfinished on the table...warm pasta with fish. The hotel in Agrigento was marvelous!Show moreTrip date: May 2019

- LBLawrence· June 5th, 2019Hotels were not 4 star. One was like a motel 6. Changing hotels every day is drudgery, but I understand there is not that much to see for 2 days in same place. Most meals were average or lessShow moreTrip date: May 2019
