    When visiting Churches and other historical sites more time should have been given for us to explore on our own. A lot of time was wasted because the guide had to recite everything in 3 languages. Many from our group would have liked more time at Mt Etna to take the cable car to top. Some of the meals that were provided were very repetitive.

    The Tour (Secrets of Sicily) was excellent. The organization and guide were great and friendly and the weather really played its part well. There was only I recommendation from me which the whole tour group agreed on. The day we returned to Catania we went to see Mt. Etna, we all agreed that the stay there was way too short, and we would have gladly given up on the Beehive and Honey tasting experience, which we could do in Australia. So, tell the Italian/ Sicilian organisers to EXTEND Mt. Etna Visit and remove the Beehive visit. PLEASE

    Packed a lot in which i loved. The fish meals were not always good for the American pallet I have. Fish in spaghetti is no. Other than the meals..anchovies nooo! The places we visited were cool. HARD to understand guide but he was nice enough. Decent hotels. Plenty of space on buses. I would do it again and maybe not enter every church Overall good tour

    I'm writing to share our guests' comments about the tour: They found it excellent: with nature, art, history, and gastronomy. The tour leader, Alessio Puglisi, was very good, and the local guides were also excellent and made the narration enjoyable. As an area for improvement, they suggest making the lunches more varied because four of the five days were the same (macaroni with swordfish prepared the same way). Buffet-style meals or center-set dishes would be better. Thank you very much.

    Overall a very good tour and guide Placido, and driver Mr Pino. The Archaeological Park of Neopolis was overpriced and not very interesting. Attention to menus needs to be addressed as we almost had fish everyday and weren’t told of menu either. Wait staff were often surly! Very good value overall.

    The itinerary provided a comprehensive tour of Sicily. We felt we saw all the major sites. The hotels were all very good, comfortable and well located. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, but sometimes communications regarding meeting places and times, or directions could have used improvement.

    Had a wonderful trip around Sicily with great guide Rita and the loecal guides who were very knowledgeable and informative. Rita really looked after us and made us feel special and cared for. Sicily was amazing and we were taken to the most incredible sights. The tour was extremely good value for money and the hotels were very good. I read a previous review where the customer complained about the bus not dropping them at the hotel door. This is because the buses can't access some narrow streets and we never walked more than about 100 metres. Everything was smoothly organised. Would highly recommend.

    Overall the tour was good, with some "glitches" here and there. Our tour leader, Rita, was very nice, thoughtful and accomodating. Our tour guide Lorenzo in Agrigento was outstanding. In Palermo Paolo was excellent. Hotels were good, but dinners were served very late, and dishes were almost identical. The only meat was Pork, and it wasn't great to say the least. Lunches were ok.

    The itinerary included what seemed to be all the major cultural and archeological highlights of Sicily in a safe, busy, and well-paced tour. There is a lot of walking, as indicted in the description of the tour, and we enjoyed the healthy exercise. It is a full agenda.
