Sicily Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Classic Sicily - 8 Days/7 Nights
Super beautiful Great guide
- Sicilian Landscapes: Catania-Catania (8 days/7 nights)
We were a small group of 12 that grew to 16 in Palermo on a very comfortable bus with device charging capabilities. The tour’s itinerary gave us a real sense of Sicily! Using whispers devices was really helpful! Accommodations and meals were good - in fact, evening meals might have been too much food. We were a group who would prefer to eat earlier than 8 PM - and where Maria could she moved it up to 7:30 PM. But the timing of dinner is as much cultural as anything else. We knew it would be a multi-lingual tour, but those are still a challenge. Maria would switch off which language she started with but either way it was still boring for those listening to a language they didn’t understand and being asked not to roam from the group. Maria was knowledgable and did an excellent job managing the pace of the group - a very good balance of formal tour with free time, too. Also thought the tour was good value. We would recommend for first time visitors to Sicily.

Had great memories to take with me and everything went well. Everything well organized and we did not feel any stress. The guide was calm and it showed he loved his job. Can highly recommend this tour and also the company for other tours.
