Sicily Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Luxury Private Tour of Sicily: Highlights
I was struck by the attention to detail even in a simple and friendly context.
- Sicilian Fantasy: Small Group Tour
I left a lengthy review with the Tour Guide. We thought that the tour was very good. We thought our tour guide was very good as well, however, we did not realize that the tour group was in Spanish and in English. Our concern with this is that explanations took twice as long as it was explained in English and Spanish as a result our time at the sight was cut back. For those times when an additional guide was added and the group was split up, we were able to have more time to explore the sigh. The hotel we stayed at, at Ragusa was OUTSTANDING. As a result, any place after that was anti-climatic. It would have been nice to have a meal option Plan A or B. It was known ahead of time that I was allergic to fish and seafood, it seemed like a last minute decision of what to give me at the Salt Mines which resulted in a tomato sandwich versus a pizza without anchovies.

We had an amazing time on our tour. Alessio as our guide and Pino as our driver were both amazing. Thank you to both of you.
