Italy Self Drive Tours
Sicily at your own pace feels right. You can explore Catania's historic sites and markets, discover Siracusa's ancient Greek ruins, stroll through scenic Scicli and Marzamemi, relax at Vendicari Nature Reserve beaches, and sample Modica's traditional chocolate. You're driving coastal roads, stopping whenever something catches your eye, experiencing Sicily's mix of Greek, Arab, and Italian heritage.

Overall this was a lovely holiday. The car and hotels were of a high standard. Some more information about how to use tolls would have been helpful. The hotel in Stresa was excellent and in a great location. The holiday at Lake Garda was lovely but not in a great location as it took much longer to get to Verona as we were a way up the west side of the lake. Overall other than the crowds of people everywhere it was a well organised and great holiday

This was a sensational journey, with a lot of things to do and see in Sicily. The team were amazing for any questions and there to help out with quick replies throughout the booking process. We were blown away with Sicily, how easy everything was and the hotel quality, especially in Syracuse was great. Parking was not so difficult but we recommend calling in advance in all three hotels. We loved the freedom to make plans as we liked, and used the itinerary posted as a guide. We were able to visit a multitude of amazing places, whilst having the freedom to relax and go at our own pace. The car was lovely and everything worked very well. We stayed in Catania for a few days following the trip and would recommend this to have a bit more time to explore there and also to visit Taormina.

Everything went smoothly on our Sardinian road trip. We had good communication with the organisers, especially when we wished to extend our car rental. The hotels were all of a very good standard, particularly the last one in Baja. We were able to see a lot of Sardinia and meet the welcoming people, at our own pace. I would totally recommend this trip. My only additions being a map and suggested sites to see and possible local your guide details.
