    Tour guide - Good. Hotel in Catania - Very dated. Good content but days were too long. Should aim to be at the hotel at 4:30 latest each day as there is a lot of walking involved. Little relaxation time. No porterage. This impacted the enjoyment of the tour significantly.

    Liked all. If Enzo could express himself more clearly, the tour would benefit. To often, clients were asking one another "What did he mean by that?" He received good cooperation because he was good humoured.

    We enjoyed our tour in Sicily. Guide Irena and driver kept us informed and safe. The evening meal in Ragusa 14 / 5 we considered very ordinary. The second day [ day 3 ] from Ragusa to Agrigento was a very long day and perhaps some of the sights and visits could have been shortened so we didnt arrive at 7.30pm - 11 hours in the bus in total. Apart from those issues we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Sicily with Sicilian Secrets.

    Positives: 1) The tour itself was very good, the Sicilian countryside was beautiful as were the towns and sites visited – Noto, Valley of the Temples, Monreale and Palatine Palace in particular. 2) The visit to the Florio Winery in Marsala was excellent and the lunch provided was very good. 3) The chocolate tasting was fun and informative and the lunch at Osteria Sapori Perduti was excellent – best meal we had. 4) The local experts (Angelo, Stefania, Lorenzo and Marta) for the visits to the archaeological sites and Palermo walking tour were great. Very well-informed and passionate about their subject. 5) Our guide Irene was well-informed, cheerful and always on hand to help. 6) Hotel breakfasts were all good with plenty of choices. 7) Overall, the tour was good value for money. Negatives: 1) The hotels used are probably all 4-star rated but not all rooms in each hotel were at that standard. Some were very basic and extremely small for 2 people with luggage e.g. the “economy room” at the Mercure in Palermo. Luckily our guide, Irene, was able to intercede and get us something better. 2) The hotel dinners were a little disappointing. No choices were offered and all predominantly seafood. Thankfully Irene was able to get the hotel to provide alternates for those who didn’t or couldn’t eat seafood. Also, it seemed a little cheap not to offer free water at dinner. 3) On 2 occasions the bus dropped us a ways from our hotel and we had to drag our luggage to and from the hotel. Once in heavy rain. Maybe the hotels used should be bus accessible? 4) Our first tour meeting was a little chaotic as it seemed 2 other groups were having their meetings as well. 5) We only realized after we left the tour that the “Tasting of Local Street Food” on day 5 in Palermo never happened. A general observation – not a positive or a negative -there is a lot of walking on this tour with uneven surfaces, steps and steep hills. The bus tends to drop you in a parking lot a fair distance from any of the attractions you are going to visit. This tour is probably not recommended for everyone “12 to 90”.

    The tour met all my expectations. It was a little too hectic though for myself and my wife in our 70s. I realise you want to show us as much about your glorious island as possible. The reason given for the many early starts was to get to ticket offices to buy tickets Why not buy tickets in advance where possible? I also feel that some of the visits were overly long

    Driver left a lot to be desired. On 2 occasions he turned onto a highway ramp going in the wrong direction. We had cars coming toward us as they were exiting the highway. Driver did not understand (or speak) any English. Very poor communication from tour company. Tour company gaslighted us and blamed our expressed concerns on us. We were told numerous times we we should have requested an English speaking driver. No one at the tour company informed us of this. One day when tour company neglected to supply a guide, driver took us to the wrong place for tour. Driver did use GPS and got lost a number of times. When we did have guides they were very good. Overall not a good experience. Would never use this company again for an Italy tour.
