    The tour was good. For the price that we paid the rooms were good but not the best. Logistics were a problem at one hotel and we did lose a bunch of time because of. Last day of tour was not the best. Market and Palermo tour were a waste in my opinion. Should have done Cefalu for the whole day. Tour director and driver were excellent. Locations visited were good but some more time at each place would have been nice as per the longer stops/visits. Overall I would consider a booking again through Tour Radar and Cistsaver

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      When you say you can go with the travel director, does that mean the travel director will guide us to go to the Sistine Chapel and Colosseum? Is the ticket skip the line in Sistine Chapel included in this tour?

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten April 2023

      Correct, the travel director will guide you to the Sistine Chapel. Optional Experiences are enhancements to your tour and can be booked through your Travel Director while on tour. That will cost approximately €95.00 per person.

      We land at 11:55am on the 17th. Can we still make the tour happen that day?
