  • Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days reviewer 1
    · July 31st, 2025
    Prior to departing all correspondence was answered promptly. Our tour guide in Sicily was extremely hard to understand with his heavy accent. Also our group was large not a small group. We had 45 people on our tour.There were 3 nationalities,English, Spanish and Italian. Our tour guide spoke poor English and only spoke direct to Spanish speaking and Italian people. When we approached him one on one to have things clarified,we were very much dismissed.The tour guy spoke at length in other languages and very little English. Also as per the itinerary ,it was not clearly set out that everyday the excursions were extra to be paid in cash only. We found this awkward and soon ran out of cash taken . The way the itinerary reads ,we assumed that the day trips were always paid in our booking. Upon reaching Malta and a new tour guide , our group was small and the guide was wonderful,happy and helpful.

    The Itinerary was great and we visited a lot of interesting and beautiful places.The hotels in the big cities are centrally located, making it very convenient to visit places on your free time. The staff from the office (Maria) answered all my questions promptly and efficiently prior to my tour. Most of the included lunches and dinners did not justify the famous and tasty Sicilia cuisine. The guide is organized, punctual and knowledgable. However I wish he would have presented a more concise history and description of the places we visited. I recommend this tour and rate it 4/5.

    A ten out of ten experience. I would like to highly recommend the 11 days/10 nights Sicilian Secretes tour of Sicily and Malta offered by Dimensione Sicilia. Starting from my initial contact with the company my travel specialist, Maria, was extremely helpful and very professional in her communications with me. The tour was well organised and ran very smoothly. I felt that it included many of the key highlights of Sicily and Malta and proceeded at a good pace. I liked that it allowed for free time on your own some evenings, as well as a few included dinners. Our Sicilian tour guide, Angelo, spoke excellent English and led us with enthusiasm and competence. Angelo was very knowledgeable, told great travel stories and was kind and caring to all passengers. Our bus was clean and comfortable. Many of my fellow travellers ended their tour in Sicily but a few of us flew on to Malta for three wonderful days here. In Malta we were expertly cared for by our Maltese tour guide Charmaine and driver Johnathan, who both made us feel very welcome. Charmaine worked hard to tailor the tour service she provided to our interests and was knowledgeable, kind and attentive. The tour experience Charmaine and Johnathan provided was outstanding and I cannot speak highly enough of them both. I generally thought the overall tour was of good value relative to its cost and all the accommodation options were clean and comfortable (the Hotel Verdi Gzira Waterfront in Malta and Hotel Baia di Ulisse in Agrigento being highlights). Most of the optional excursions were well worth doing. Thank-you to everybody involved in this tour for all your efforts in providing a warm and enriching holiday experience.

    Dimensione Sicilia was a terrific company to deal with for our recent trip to Sicily and Malta. We travelled with a group of 4 and everything went so smoothly. The tours, guides, hotels were all fantastic. I would recommend this company to anyone who wishes to visit Sicily and Malta with the greatest of ease.

    · October 31st, 2024
    Overall it was a good tour. Itinerary was very good and included most, if not all, notable landmarks. Local guides conducting the tours were very knowledgeable and had good command of English. Hotels were in good locations and of average four stars quality. Having read reviews of this particular tour was helpful to set the right expectations, such as lots of walking, needing to take your own luggage to the tour bus etc. If you’re ok with these things, as we were, I would recommend the tour. The negative things were the meals. There were two lunches that were good, but the rest, as well as the two included dinners, were not and they took place in very crowded locations that did not seem to have adequate staff and lasted for too long.

    The tour was very well organized and we couldn’t have had a better tour leader. Angelo was always very kind and patient and went above and beyond to be helpful. We saw quite a bit of Sicily in just one week. Hotels were ok, 4 star by Sicilian standards I guess. Included lunches were good for the most part. The included dinners were substandard. We had a great group which added to the enjoyment of the tour. It would be helpful to know hotels we are staying in more than 5 days before tour starts so we can book our own airport transfers which would have been less expensive. Also more attention needs to be paid to the small details. Didn’t affect me much since I am on top of everything but still had to deal with and correct the minor mistakes in my booking. All in all a good trip!

    Overall the tour was well organised and you get to see a lot of sights in a short space of time. I had some difficulty in understanding our guides English. I would have preferred to have a local guide at each destination. I was most disappointed with the location in Malta. We were put up in St Julien which is not the lovely old historic part of Valetta, bit rather full.of night clubs and tacky bars. Not appropriate for a tour of this nature. I also found the tours operation of adding new people into the group in Palermo a little unsettling.

      If I pay extra for solo traveller, is my own room guaranteed for entire trip? Can I pay for city tax and entrance fees as I go instead of buying the Silver Package? How to pay for Silver package if I decide to buy it?

    She is seeking details about how much time will be spent at each location during the tour. She is also curious if the tour involves only driving by certain sites or if there are actual stops at those locations. Additionally, she would like to know more about the room arrangements, specifically whether a double bed is available, as she and her husband prefer not to sleep in twin beds.
