    Great 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!

    Very 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.

    Well 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.

    Amazing Tours! My husband and I were delighted with this experience. We always stayed in centrally located hotels, the rooms were clean and spacious. Many food and wine experiences, Modica chocolate is fantastic! Tour with only 12 travelers as we were looking for. Highly recommended!

    I 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 recommend
