    Dear Michael, we appreciate you taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience on the tour. It is very positive to hear that several parts of the itinerary stood out as highlights for you, including the farmhouse visit near Siracusa, the pasta-making experience, the stay near Noto, the boat excursion, and the time spent in Palermo and Cefalù with Vincenzo. We are also glad you found the coach comfortable and the driver professional. We are sorry to hear that parts of the tour were unclear or confusing at times. Clear communication of the daily schedule is essential, and we take your comments regarding language clarity and overall guidance seriously. This will be reviewed with our on-the-ground team to ensure improvements are made where needed. Regarding your comment about the itinerary and expectations, we would like to clarify that this program was not a first-time operation, though it is part of a recently developed route within our Sicily collection. Feedback from guests such as yourself is important as we continue to refine and strengthen the experience. We also note your comments regarding the visit to the hilltop site, as well as the pacing and comfort stops during certain days. These points will be reviewed carefully with our local partners to ensure better coordination and guest comfort going forward. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback. We are pleased that many aspects of the tour were enjoyable and appreciate your insights, which are valuable in helping us improve future departures.

We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall, particularly the activities included in the itinerary and most of the hotels selected throughout the tour.

We appreciate your comments regarding the hotel in Palermo, as well as your observations about the tour leadership. Our tour leaders are there to ensure the smooth operation of the itinerary and guest support throughout the journey, while destination-specific information is primarily provided by licensed local guides. That said, we understand the importance of clear communication and local knowledge, and we will review your comments with the relevant teams. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We are encouraged that you enjoyed many aspects of the tour and are confident that continued adjustments and experience gained from operating the itinerary will further strengthen the program for future travelers.

Feedback like yours is valuable as we continuously review our itineraries and inclusions. We also take your comments regarding the first local guide seriously.

    Asked on November 26th, 2025

    Does 14 max mean 14 people? Does this tour typically fill up? Can you describe the type of van/bus that we will use? For the long ride along the south of Sicily, will that be a train or a long bus ride?

      I confirm that the maximum of participants for the selected tour is 14 people. It will be used a 21 seats van that will take you to all the cities included in the itinerary, you won't have to take the train.

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      If we want the pre-day and post-day extension, I didn't see an option to sign up for that when stepping through the steps to book the trip. We may also want to pay TourRadar for the transfers from Catania airport to Taormina. That's a 35-minute train transfer, right?

    • Dimensione Sicilia - Dimsi Incoming Operator SrlOperatorWritten November 2025

      Regarding the transfer from Catania Airport to Taormina, it is not arranged by train. The service is operated by a private driver and car. The cost is: Private Transfer from Catania Airport – €139.00 per car (1–2 passengers). As for the additional night: Pre-night in Taormina – Double room: €215.00 per person (BB treatment).

    • R

      Rick

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      We would like the pre-night in Taormina and the post-night in Palermo. As for the transfer Catania to Taormina, isn't a train 35 minutes, but a drive 1.5 hours? Would a train ticket be cheaper and easier?

    • R

      Rick

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I see your site says to delay getting our flights until this tour is confirmed. How long will it take to confirm this tour? We are worried that the flight cost will increase if we wait too long to reserve the plane tickets.
