Palermo City sightseeing Trips

This is one of my favourite tours so far. Sicily is an island full of adventure and the tour allows you to dip in. The pace is great, not too fast but we covered lots of ground. Everything was made easy thanks to our fabulous guide Antongullio who looked after us all. Nothing was too much trouble. We started in Palermo which is the most incredible city; full of historic palaces with breathtaking mosaics, chaotic streets, markets bursting with colour and local produce, food of such variety and fabulous ice cream! On to the middle of the island and the anti-mafia museum which was so humbling and brought the challenge to life. Wine makers, tomato growers, farm houses, food and greetings everywhere ending up in Ortiga with more beauty and history. This is my first trip to Sicily but it certainly will not be my last. Ive read Giorgio Locatelli's Made in Sicily book with a greater understanding since Ive been home and cant wait to return.

This was our first international trip and first with a tour group. Collette was a great tour and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We truly enjoyed our trip, making new friends and seeing so many different places. We saw what was listed in the brochure and more. We didn't have just one favorite because all the places we went were so beautiful and we enjoyed traveling. We also purchased the optional excursions and that really added to the trip. So much history! Attached is a photo of the Greek Theater in Taormina with Mt. Etna smoking in the background.
