Wonderful Experience - Our tour guide was excellent in providing continuous updates on where we were and what we were going to do. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the locations visited and gave us enough free time to search out on our own.

Pretty small Sicilian towns - I enjoyed walking around the little towns we visited. Taormina was the most beautiful but it was also crowded with tourists. Can't be helped.
There were five solo travelers in that tour which made it more fun and the conversation lively.
We had a very nice tour guide, Christian, who told us about the towns we visited and shared details that we would have otherwise missed.

A solid choice - Driver Giovanni was excellent and friendly. Traffic and driving in Italy is stressful so we appreciated his car handling skills.
The excursion includes solo time and optional out of pocket admission to historic venues. Many historic ruins.
Walking and inclined paths take their toll on the elderly and mobility challenged. Be forewarned!
Overall a good opportunity for exploration at a fair price.

Great tour of Sicily - Our guide was a wealth of knowledge. We had four other couples from around the world and enjoyed their company too. The only issue we had was the van we were in was quite noisy, and it was sometimes difficult to hear our guide.

We absolutely loved the... - We absolutely loved the locations that we visited but what was listed tour details was far from what we received. We were picked up in old van that had no air conditioning so windows down in extreme heat made hearing information very difficult. We had delays along the way which made us short on time at Taormina which was extremely disappointing. On our paperwork it says back at Catania by 7pm but were were back by 5.30!!
