    Excellent tour manager with Dario Panniello. We saw many interesting, history and beautiful sites in Sicily and Southern Italy. The local tour guides were generally outstanding. A very nice tour.

    We had a great group of 15 fun people which made our first tour a great experience. Our tour explored locations that we had not personally considered. Mario was amazing and we had great local guides!

    Overall experience was excellent! Our main tour guide and the local guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They gave great suggestions for local restaurants and activities to enjoy in our downtime. We had a small group of fantastic people who made our first trip even more memorable!

    Overall, the Sicily & Southern Italy Tour was very good. Our tour manager was terrific as were the included sites, Some of the hotels lacked sufficient storage, such as sufficient drawer, shelf or closet space. The hotels were otherwise clean and staff were all pleasant.

    Trip excellent with all the.hotels, places to see , and Bucket list locations from Greek temples to Pompei and Rome. Need better scheduling with airfare. Almost missed flight from Frankfurt to Los Angeles going home. 1.5 hour too tight to get from Terminal A to Terminal Z.

    I especially enjoyed the trips to Mount Etna and to the Valley of the Temples. I think that you could easily spend the entire trip in Sicily and do a more in depth tour. The tour manager, the driver and the location guides were excellent and very professional.

    Hotel Garibaldi was not 4 star and probably not even 3 star. Had issues with our rattling heating unit. First night the hotel reception who we found out controls these units, turned it off at 1:30 in the morning. We woke up freezing. 2nd night we woke up at 3:30 in the morning and we were sweating. It was 30 degrees Celsius. We had no control to change the temperature either night. We called reception and complained again. We told them to lower it to 22, leave it at 22 and NOT to change it or shut it off. The lobby was in bad need of an update. My wife spoke to our Tour Guide and told her what we thought of this hotel and if this is how it is going to be on the trip, we are ready to pack and go home. Very bad first impression. She assured her that it wasn't and asked my wife to trust her. We found out we were not the only ones having issues with the heating units. Paola told us that future tours will not be staying at Hotel Garibaldi. We had an issue at another hotel with the heat and they immediately offered to change our room. We were glad we trusted our tour guide Paola. We stayed and had a wonderful time. Paola was excellent.
