    All in all, Scicily was beautiful! It met our expectations. If I have any criticism it would be that I would have liked to see more of Palermo. The hotels were all excellent as well as the breakfasts served every morning as well as the suppers except our farewell one. The ambiance and location was amazing but the food was so so. The visit to the jewelry place, we should have been told in advance in order that we research and would have been better prepared to buy since we are dealing with a significant amount of money. Our tour guide Fabiola was excellent! She called us family and that’s exactly what we became. The bus was super comfortable and we had an amazing driver, bravo Salvatore.

    Our tour guide, Mario, did everything in his power to keep us safe, secure when we needed extra and personal assistance, comfortable and informed. This made the entire trip one to remember. Not just for enjoyment and relaxation but also for comfort, caring and the knowledge that we were safe and protected. That is number 1 in my book! The feeling of security whether in an unfamiliar environment or personal and unexpected incidents and issues was immeasurable and most important to me. I have traveled with many different tour companies but this time I needed extra advice and attention and it was met with the highest caring, concern and efficiency. For that I am forever grateful,

    Fabulous tour..wonderful guide, Armando and driver, Salvatore. We especially liked the small cities which were hidden gems perched on the sides of the mountains. The small group made for a congenial, friendly atmosphere.
