What people love about Family Tours in Sicily
- Sicilian Secrets – Tour of Sicily & Aeolian Islands
I absolutely loved this nine day tour of Sicily, especially the Aeolian Islands - paradise. The main tour guide Irene was fantastic - so knowledgable, thoughtful and caring. The sights were absolutely amazing, mostly the accommodation was excellent and the included lunches were all top notch. Very well organised and kept informed throughout. Thanks Dimensione Sicilia for this wonderful Secrets of Sicily tour.
This tour was as close to perfect as possible. The tour guides were knowledgeable and personable; the logistics of moving from hotel to hotel, town to town, were smooth and easy. And if any questions came up along the way, the office staff would answer our texts immediately. Our group of seven was in Sicily heaven from beginning to end!

We had a great time with Placido. He was very knowledgeable and organized, giving us a lot of information, always in three languages. It can't be easy keeping such a large group of mostly elderly people together and happy. We had a lot of fun.
