    The tour of Sicily quickly covered the main sights and attractions very well. The accommodation was comfortable and where the food was provided it was Sicilian and good. The big bus was full. There was confusion over the Malta part because the members of the group had booked through different agents and I was the only person who had a contact via WhatsApp. Fortunately this worked and the rest of the tour went very well.

    We customized this tour, doing a 6-day tour from Palermo to Catania and then a week in Malta, combining two tours in a private way. Both the Sicily tour and the week in Malta were wonderful. The tour guide in Sicily who took us around Palermo and to Monreal was very knowledgeable, especially in the Cathedral.The guide who took us through the Greek temples was also super interesting and personable. The driver, Francesco, who took us to the Roman house spoke very good English and took time to point out a lot of things we would have missed otherwise. All of the hotels in Sicily were nice but the one in Agrigento was really special.I am glad we skipped the wine tasting the day of Mt. Etna and Taormina because we wouldn't have been able to see much of Taomina otherwise. Sicily is so big you can't see everything in a week but I think your tour does a great job of hitting the highlights. It was great. The tour in Malta was even better. Malta is a fascinating place but what made it really great was having Charmaine as our tour guide. She did a really exceptional job of explaining and showing her country to us. She is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to be with. She really took care of us. I wish she could be my guide on every trip I take. I really like staying in Sliema for two nights and then two nights in Valletta to get two different perspectives of the city. The hotel in Gozo was delightful. I am telling everyone I know to go to Malta and get Charmaine as their tour guide

    Where to start. I expected the tour to have about 15 people (that’s what was advertised) there were 39 on the bus. The guide didn’t seem interested,certainly in speaking English so Sicily was disappointing. Malta very good, the guide was great but again communications were bad and on the Sunday we were left to make up the stated tour ,a ferry to Gozo our self. So to conclude, my wife and I only book small group tours and were greatly disappointed with the Sicily tour and feel very cheated not only financially but also force to travel with such a large group. We’ll certainly think twice about booking another tour with this company and there has been no follow up. Terry

    I signed up for and paid for ($2500) a small group tour of not more than 16 people. It was a big bus of about 30 people in sicily. Not what I paid to get. And 4 days with that guide was plenty. Also day 1 of the tour was a meal at a restaurant at 8:00 at nite. Not sure how much sight seeing I did that day (uh.... None). In Malta, Rebecca was a great guide. She was very helpful and informative, but I thought the city tour in Malta was a bit week. Drove all the way out to the coast, then back into the city, then back out to the same spot on the coast. Only saw 3 quick things all day. Didn't match up at all with the program
