What people love about touring Sicily solo
- Sicilian Fantasy: Small Group Tour
Sicilian Fantasy, tour guide Chetty. Chetty (Chati) was excellent. Always calm and super knowledgable. Spoke 4 Languages: not easy to repetitively do and she did it with energy! She could make us laugh and laugh at herself. I believe we can all agree the difference in any group’s leader is the heart. Learning all the history of ancient ruins there seemed to be one female god and think we had her as our tour guide. I believe she was our Demetar! Goddess of the Harvest. Or at least Goddess of the Tour Guides. Sammy B
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
We had a great experience. The history and culture of Sicily is amazing. Our tour guide, Vittoria, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She certainly loves Sicily. The hotels and food exceeded our expectations.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
The Itinerary was great and we visited a lot of interesting and beautiful places.The hotels in the big cities are centrally located, making it very convenient to visit places on your free time. The staff from the office (Maria) answered all my questions promptly and efficiently prior to my tour. Most of the included lunches and dinners did not justify the famous and tasty Sicilia cuisine. The guide is organized, punctual and knowledgable. However I wish he would have presented a more concise history and description of the places we visited. I recommend this tour and rate it 4/5.
