    The tour guide Allessio was fantastic, very helpful and knowledgeable. Accommodation was okay, didn’t like that we had to walk our luggage to the bus on a few occasions, the paths/roads were very uneven. It was was never advertised the amount of walking entailed on this tour, between 8-10kms per day. That is okay if you are fit,healthy and young but the demographic of most of the people on this tour were 60+. The days were very long , maybe they could be a little shorter. We enjoyed this tour immensely but feel it could have been better.

    Excellent guide Placido . Very well informed and knowledgeable in all aspects of Sicilian heritage and history . He was very caring and helpful. The dinners and lunches were disappointing bar a special delicious lunch in Ragusa .. breakfast was delicious and nutritious. Hotels were ok . Mr Pino the bus driver was excellent in his driving skills keeping us very safe on the roads . Over all very happy with tge tour. Could have a couple more days at certain hotels like the hotel at Agrigento.

    The tour had people speaking 3 different languages so everything was said 3 times and very fast missing some important parts. Entrance to attractions were not included so had to pay then additionally on the bus. Age range should probably be 50-80. The bus was swapped half was through and was a lot less comfortable. No water provided but could buy. The 4 star accommodation was slightly lacking fridges not working in rooms breakfasts average.

    Our guide, Placido, was excellent... very knowledgable, cheerful and professional. The hotels and food were good, and our group - mostly a mix of US and Italians - were very friendly. The tour very 'full on' - with a definite timetable in order to see so much in a week. I think we could have a bit more about the history of the towns as well as all the cathedrals.

All questions
  • A

    Ali

    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Do you do private excursions (our group only) for that group size? Could you provide a fluent and knowledgeable English speaking guide for the entire program? Hopefully the same individual? We do not know for sure at this point, but your Sicily Escapes program or something similar appears attractive. Approximately how much do you think that might cost?
