Palermo Tours in October 2027

Excellent tour. Local guides were all excellent. Itinerary was very good. Rome hotel was not in the best location. Not a lot around it like restaurants, cafes. Optional dinners were way overpriced and the optional Rome dinner was terrible. A number of the group complained to the tour director and most including us did not take the other 2 dinners. Optional tours were all good but again most people found them overpriced and felt that Insight should have included some of them in the package. Hotels were ok and were the same hotels that Globus tours used. Did not like the Palermo hotel even though it was in a fairly good location it was very dark had no place to meet up with others or sit and relax. It would have been nice to end the tour with a hotel by the water or with a pool.

Sicily certainly didn't disappoint. It is a beautiful place and the history it has to offer is wonderful. I loved every moment but particularly Savoca. Visiting the markets in Catania was an experience not to be missed. Even though the landscape in places looked very dry it had a beauty of its own.

Very interesting and different from other areas of Italy previously visited a number of years ago. The history of Southern Italy and Sicily was amazing, the culinary tastes and traditions that have been carried on and through the centuries. Hearing about the centuries of history and the ongoing preservation that is maintaining the living history that surrounds you on your visit is very inspiring.

A wonderful journey through Sicily's lesser-known interior. Beautiful hilltop towns, rolling hills of olives, vines. Staggering mountain scenery. Friendly and welcoming people. Delicious food and wine. A slice of Heaven! And, as always, the people at UTracks made it go like clockwork. I did the easy bit!

Well organized tour, very good accommodation, excelent quality of tasted food including the one on markets. Cooking class led by excellent chef cook with sense of humor. Professional guides, professional drivers. There is nothing to complain about. I'll certainly come back to Sicily. One comment: please leave more time to visit Noto.

A wonderful tour with expert guides. The hotel in Palermo noisy due ghetto blasters on weekend nights and sirens, horns etc in rooms facing the square. Taormina was the highlight for me, and I will stream “The White Lotus” as soon as I can.
