What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Sicily
- Wonders of Sicily - Monolingual tour in English from Catania
I chose this tour for the advantage of being monolingual in English, we wanted to avoid the stress of guides committed to translating in different languages and being with a group too numerous. the experience was excellent, the hotels included were all of excellent quality with good location in the center of the cities visited. Meals included a little too abundant but we appreciated the attempt to introduce Sicilian cuisine. A very well organized tour, we like also the professionalism of the guide and the organizing staff. A tour that we definitely recommend
- Sicilian Secrets
The trip was well organized. The guide - Placido certainly knew his subjects and was very happy to answer questions. The accomodation was all very good as were the breakfasts. .The group was large and I didn't realise that when I booked. Also you did need to be fit ( I am) but some people found the wakking/steps very difficult
- The Sicilian
Very good tour. Loved almost all the planned destinations and speculate tour guides. It was hot! Therefore a little challenging at times. Would have liked a little mid afternoon down time to exercise, use pool and rest. We did have a few days that offered this and it made the evening better. Otherwise everything was great. It would be nice to have a choice on food as well but understand feeding 40 people is not easy. The food was very good in most places.
