    We appreciate your feedback during your time away with us. We apologise at the time of the booking for the inconvenience caused due to the miscommunication regarding the details of the Optional Experiences that are included on our detailed itinerary, which gets sent to the provided email address approximately three weeks before your tour starts, and it is also available on our website. We do encourage our guests to familiarise themselves with this information to avoid such disappointment whilst on the trip. That said, we still hope you have taken many lasting highlights away from your time in Sicily.
