    Excellent guide knowledge was superb couldn't ask for better. Accommodation was very good Palermo Mercure was very central, Catania hotel was older and TV hairdryer never worked even though the serviceman looked at TV that hotel needs to get there act together. Great bus service overall I'd be pleased to recommend your company for a very exciting well run tour, just one thing you could go easy on the churches? Colin Cloudesley

    · April 27th, 2023
    I appreciated the flexibility of joining the tour for a short period. My schedule did not allow for the full 10 day tour that some group members were doing so being able to join for the 5 day mini tour was great. The tour packs a lot in, it was well organized and the guides were good. I am usually an independent traveler, this was my first tour. I enjoyed the knowledgeable guides and the ease of the experience. My only concern was my room in Palermo was quite small and had a "view" of the hotel storage room, a nicer room would have been appreciated. Thanks!

    You get a quick taste of Palermo and Etna. There was free time in Monreale, Cefalu, and Taormina. The beekeeping company visit and honey tasting near Etna was a bit underwhelming and I would have gladly traded that for more free time in Etna or Taormina. Hotels were comfortable and clean and the food that was provided was a mix of individually-served plates and shared plates. The first meal was a hotel dinner that was not great, but the dinners improved as we had the next two in local restaurants (I don't think they should be described as "famous"). One thing that is not necessarily the fault of the tour organizer due to the fact that we are past any mandated mask-wearing at this point but impacted our experience is the behaviour of some people in the tour group. I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with COVID now because of the fact that some members had nasty coughs and did not practice safe hygiene (it's been 2.5 years of this now - c'mon folks, wear a mask and cough into your elbow). It's just something that is going to happen with a large tour group. We took that chance and now we have to deal with it. A few inaccuracies - It is advertised as a 5-day tour but it is really a 4-night stay and only 3 days of activities. The first night is just a meeting for dinner and last day is breakfast on your own. The title is misleading. - The tasting of local street food on day 2 is in Monreale, not Palermo

    Overall a good tour, good pace & amount of free time, lots of churches but that’s Italy for you lol. Dinners in Catania were great- dinners in Palermo were average at best, typical for an included dinner on a tour but disappointing for Italian cuisine. Palermo hotel was awesome, Catania hotel was ok.

    Tour was very good organized. Tour guide Placido was excellent. The only problems were hotels. May be it would be the good idea to have options to pay extra and stay in better hotels or even rooms.

    Everything was good except the size of the group. With more than 50 people in different hotels, it’s difficult for the guide to keep all happy. Two nights the dinner was terribly bad. The guide was perfect.
    Dimensione Sicilia - Dimsi Incoming Operator Srl commented on this review
    It has been an exceptional crowded departure in peak season. The group was big but there were local guides to help the tour leader offer our guests a good service. Usually in high season there are English speaking monoligual departures. Glad to know you... Show more

    We loved the Sicilian Secrets tour. Accommodation was great at most places and good at the lowest rated hotel. The places we. I sited we would not have been able to visit on our own especially the valley of the temples and the roman villa

    Great way to know Sicily and all its main attractions. The tour is very well organized, from the hotel accommodation to the beautiful excursions. We became friends with our sweet guide Grazia, who has been always at our disposal . We also had the time to drink very good wine and eat exquisite pasta . We loved it.
