    The tour guide was excellent. The tour was well organized & Sicily was a great place to visit. I would strongly recommend this tour. Being in a small group tour was an added bonus. Climbing Mt Etna & visiting Taormina were my favorite experiences. The many ruins & the Unesco towns were also fabulous.
