    Really enjoyable, guides were very informative and helpful. Accommodation could improve, hotel in Taormina and Siracusa were more a 3 star not 4 Star, would rather pay a bit more and have better appointed rooms, but great value for money.

    The cooking class in Taormina was great. The winery outside Taormina was very nice. The winery near Mt. Etna was nice. The Drive to Syracuse with stop in Noto was fine but not too much info was given about Syracuse when we were dropped off. We had to figure out where the main shops, restaurants, etc were on our own. Walking tour of Ortigia was mediocre. Guide didn’t seem too into it and was late to arrive. The drive to Palermo was very long and the driver/guide barely talked to us. Never told anything about the places/towns we were driving by etc. The Palermo tour guide was the best of all. Very informative and engaging. Enjoyed our trip and enjoyed Taormina and Palermo the most.

    Itinerary was great and full. I really loved spending the 3 nights in Taormina so would recommend it be extended to 3 nights in each location so you can really settle and add in any rest days as needed. Same amount of tours and food, just extend the stays.

    Overall, this was a lot of fun. The tour guides were interesting, the food was good, and of course, the sites were beautiful. I especially liked Taormina, Mt. Etna, and Ortigia. I liked the smaller places, the local villages, and the water. The best place was Ortigia. The little island was very manageable, and Hotel Livingston was fantastic. The view from our window was breathtaking, and the breakfast well prepared. I also found the cooking class enjoyable and appreciated the opportunity to learn how to prepare Italian dishes. I would have liked another cooking class, and a bit less food.
