Sicily Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Classic Sicily - 8 Days/7 Nights
Super beautiful Great guide
- Magical Sicily - 7 Days
Lots of variety in the locations allowing a full insight into Sicily. Fairly rushed though, with a bit too much time on the bus. For a quick tour of Sicily in limited time you will see a lot. A few fun activities like the wine tasting. Tour guide, Cette, and driver, Luca, were excellent.
- 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.
