    I cant say enough about the actual sites,the tour guide and the driver!!! We were also a very large group and all were so fun and memorable! We always asked about the food and it was not so much part of the memory. The atmosphere of dining in the hotels and food was a 5 at the most. That would be my only disappointment.

    Many memorable moments - loved the history part of things - visiting the Countess and her home in Palermo, the farm and lunch, Mt. Etna, Taromina, Agrigento and the ruins, and loved taking the ferry to Italy and going to Southern Italy. We were disappointed in the flights back and cancelled flight by AA and to this day we still haven't received the 600 Euros promised by the EU for cancelled flights of over 4 hours...ours was delayed a day and 1/2 and we just happened to be up and see a post on an app that it was cancelled.

    Amazing tour. Paolo was very informative and a wonderful all around great man. Antonio was a wonderful driver. Hotels and restaurants were wonderful. Chuck was also very helpful and informative. Chuck and Paolo kept us informed and on time. There is nothing I can find to complain about on this trip. I would definitely do it again.

    The tour was amazing. Paolo our manager was engaging, funny, and knowledgeable. Our driver Antonio was impressive. Not sure how he does it. Chuck our organizer was a great host sharing his trips, and hosting a pre trip dinner. A few recommendations. I ordered diabetic meals on the plane, and they said they never received the order and couldn't assist. As a couple having our seats together would have been nice. With a seven hour layover, offering to book a lounge would have been great. Excursions. They were all well done except one day we took the added excursions and it ended up creating three in one day. The last being the taste of Sicily. The idea was good, but nobody told us what we were tasting. The music was great though. Cinzia the host at Agriturismo Case Varrisco was truly special. That is a definite keeper. It was a trip to remember. Thank you.
