    WE went on the Classic Sicily the last week of March and 1st week of April. We arrived in Palermo and flew in from Boston MA with ITA airlines and the travel was flawless and Max Pontesilli met us at PMO airport and was our tour director/guide and became part of our tour family for the entire time we were in his good care! Hotel in Palermo, Agrigento and Taormina were all excellent. The weather was flawless as it was a great time to go to Sicily but of course that's the best time of the year
