Sicily Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- 10 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests)
We had the absolute best time on all of our tours ! Our guides were beyond knowledgeable, kind, accommodating and fun. Walking food and history tour of Taormina was incredible, full of amazing eats and tons of history. Our tour to Cefalù was stunning. There was so much history to see in such a beautiful town, capped off with a beautiful lunch.
The sightseeing places were beautiful and would have liked to have spent more time in each place felt a little rushed with no time to enjoy each sight, too much to see in 5 days. Bus should be only 20 or less as too many people created some stress for the leader and 3 languages, became a headache at times. Choices of the first 2 hotels were great ?, the last one felt over crowded and food was not good. Our tour guide was wonderful she was helpful and very patient in the stressful times.
