Catania Tours in August 2027

I had such a great time! I'm so glad I went to Sicily with G and grateful to Matteo and the others in our group. It was lots of fun!

We had a brilliant family holiday, the tour leader Fabio was amazing, he really made the trip! First hotel in Palermo was not quite up to scratch. I would suggest Explore look for a different hotel.

A fast paced, very full itinerary, covering some truly amazing places. Great group, made up of caring, fun, interesting and interested folks from a whole range of backgrounds. Highlights were the Etna Volcano visit by cablecar and Greek Temples at Selinunte. The tour does not include the mosaics of Villa Romano or the Aeolian Islands, both of which I still want to see....so look out Sicily, I'll be returning!

From the time we lasted until we were dropped off, the whole tour was beyond excellent. The food and wine tours were varied from small plates at different restaurants to large meals at scenic settings. We ate at a seaport and at a farm house (the setting was far from rustic), in markets, and wineries. We had a cooking class where we prepared a traditional Sicilian meal. We stayed in wonderful hotels and had terrific tour guides. The tours were fabulous but they were short enough to allow for sometime to explore on our own. I would highly recommend this well managed and well planned tour.

An excellent introduction to the island of Sicily, taking in history, culture, geography/geology and cuisine! It gave me a good idea of what I might want to see again on a return visit.

This was a lovely introduction to Sicily because we travelled round the whole coast line. Though we stayed in quite a few locations it didn't feel rushed. It was varied, informative with quite a bit of time for us to explore by ourselves.We got a good feel for Sicilian culture and history, ancient and recent, formed over the centuries by all the different "visitors" to its shores.
