Optional activities that are paid are overvalued and I was really disappointed on the food side (poor size portions ala Milano style which is exactly what Sicily isn't when you go eating by yourself), first and last hotels were disappointment and one had heating issues. New year evening fancy dinner was a big disappointment and any wine that was included in the tour was at most mediocre (not expecting top but I did came across many house wines in restaurants where I went by myself much better). Trafalgar, do better! Until then, I don't plan to join any of your tours.Show more

Reply from: Trafalgar
Thank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that several aspects of your holiday did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you being open about your disappointment. We regret that you felt the Optional Experiences did not represent good value and that the dining experiences, including portion sizes and wine selections, fell short of what you anticipated, particularly given the rich culinary reputation of Sicily. It is also disappointing to learn that the first and final hotels did not leave a positive impression and that one property experienced heating issues. We sincerely apologise for the frustration this would have caused. We are especially sorry that the New Year’s Eve dinner did not deliver the memorable experience it should have been. This is intended to be a highlight of the journey, and we understand how let down you must have felt. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our Operations and Product teams for careful review, as feedback such as yours is vital in helping us improve the overall experience we offer. While we regret that this trip has influenced your decision about travelling with us again, we are grateful that you took the time to outline your concerns so clearly. Should you choose to reconsider in the future, we would welcome the opportunity to restore your confidence in Trafalgar.
