    Was a good trip to the most part. Only little wrinkle was the last hotel on our tour was horrendously loud and noisy.

    The tour was well organized and planned. Our guide Luca was knowledgeable, charming and hard-working. The sites we visited together, including the Cathedral in Monreale, the mosaics at Piazza Armerina, and the Valley of the Temples were spectacular, and there was time to explore some of the cities and towns on our own according to individual interests. I'd recommend these trips especially for single women and friends travelling together - you can leave all the logistics and transport headaches to someone else and have the safety of the group and support from the tour leader to make it a breeze to get around in an unfamiliar place.

    This 8-day trip makes you want to see more in Sicily. I enjoyed every day and every visit. Matteo was great with everyone and was open to suggestions. There's so much beauty, buildings, piazze, views of the sea, landscapes, markets, etc. Thanks for offering this adventure!

    Great trip interrupted by Covid at end of week. Loved the historical sites. Our guide in Agrigento Valley of the Temples was superb. Elizabeth was excellent. Matteo, while young, was very good. He will only get better as time goes on. His handling of the Covid situation was frank and detailed. We never felt in danger.

    We loved our Sicily tour!!! We had a wonderful guide, Luca who was helpful even beyond our time with him as we left Sicily and moved on to mainland Italy. The accommodations were good and the food delish! We will be using them again!

  • B

    Barbara

    Asked on April 7th, 2025

    Does this tour go to Mt Etna? Also is it the same tour guide throughout the entire week? Also is it the same group of travelers for the whole week? Is this tour in possibility of canceling if not enough travelers go?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      This tour doesn't visit Mt Etna. This will be the same guide and group for the tour. There will be a longer part of the tour however, 'Highlights of Sicily', so some travellers might have already been on the earlier part of the tour. We run guaranteed departures, as long as there is one traveller booked. So once you had booked, this tour would not be cancelled.
