- LGLAWRANCE· July 3rd, 2025Franko was an excellent tour guide. But the tour information on your website was out dated and we therefore book the wrong hotel when we booked for a few days ahead of the tour date. I also felt that the tours of the cities were superficial and skipped many sites that I would have liked to visit.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- Shelley· September 22nd, 2024Great trip! We loved our guide, Mauro. He was fun and friendly. So informative and knowledgeable about his country. Just the right amount of free time to explore on our own. Highly recommended!Show moreTrip date: September 2024
- KDKelly· June 9th, 2023Very good tour but you booked us on the old itinerary and changed it to the new itinerary only the week before. You told me the tour changed as a result of recent feedback, but the tour guide said the itinerary changed last year. It was good, but poor communication.Show more
Soleto Travel commented on this reviewHi Kelly, I'm glad you had a positive experience on the tour that just ended. The itinerary was significantly improved to provide a better experience for customers. the guides, which sometimes change weekly, are not always informed of what goes on... Show moreTrip date: May 2023 - IIrina· June 5th, 2023Well organized, Franco, tour director, was amazing, went out of the way to accommodate everyone and provided many historical facts; Salvatore, the driver, was excellent, Omar from Soleto Travel was very accommodating and responded to each request. One thing I would change- eliminate fish market in Palermo and go ona tour inside Massimo Teatro instead. Overall, great tour. Food was ok, some local foods were not edible but maybe it’s just me. Highly recommend the agency and the tour.Show moreSoleto Travel commented on this reviewHi Irina, Thank you very much for your review and for the positive comments about the tour you have just done and our services.

- MMichaelKev· November 22nd, 2019I chose this tour for the advantage of being monolingual in English, we wanted to avoid the stress of guides committed to translating in different languages and being with a group too numerous. the experience was excellent, the hotels included were all of excellent quality with good location in the center of the cities visited. Meals included a little too abundant but we appreciated the attempt to introduce Sicilian cuisine. A very well organized tour, we like also the professionalism of the guide and the organizing staff. A tour that we definitely recommendShow moreSoleto Travel commented on this reviewHi Michael, Thank you so much for your review.

Asked on June 16th, 2025Do we travel in a van? Would you classify this as an active trip? We are quite active from Seattle, WA, USA (we enjoy hiking, golfing, outdoor activities along with good food and drink!)

Mark
Traveler•Written June 2025Why are there so few reviews for this tour?
Soleto TravelOperator•Written June 2025We do usually use a 21 seater VAN. I would classify it as moderate active, especially because the visits to the various attractions and cities sometimes involve long walks.
- Soleto TravelOperator•Written June 2025
The transfers are optional, not included in the tour cost - the transfer from Catania Airport to the Hotel costs Euro 40,00 - while the departure one from Taormina at the end of the tour costs Euro 120,00
- Soleto TravelOperator•Written June 2025
We have been offering the tour for a shorter time than others that have been online for a longer time, it also has a higher cost compared to other similar tours. Then it is up to customers, to leave a review or not, and they are even rarer when customers are satisfied.
