What people love about Sicily Tours for Seniors
- Discovering Taormina
I really enjoyed the hotel meditaranneo it was really nice especially the pool and gardens and staff - and it was very close to curso umberto. I enjoyed the Mt Etna tour. I skipped the boat because I had another thing come up.
- The Sicilian
Very good tour. Loved almost all the planned destinations and speculate tour guides. It was hot! Therefore a little challenging at times. Would have liked a little mid afternoon down time to exercise, use pool and rest. We did have a few days that offered this and it made the evening better. Otherwise everything was great. It would be nice to have a choice on food as well but understand feeding 40 people is not easy. The food was very good in most places.
- Small Group Sicily Highlights (Maximum 8 Guests)
Great itinerary and great guides. hotels in very good position
