Sicily Tours in Fall

Our guide Antonio was exceptional. He has a solid background and delivery of the varied sites. He was flexible and easily met requests that the group had (in particular the Puppet Show in Palermo- would definitely recommend.) We visited 7 of 8 of Sicily's World Heritage sites, all amazing! Our driver Franco was friendly and always had our safety at the forefront. Hopefully Explore will take our recommendations for looking at differnt hotels in Syracuse (preferably Ortigia Island), not a great location, especially on day of arrival, before meeting up with the group.

Antonio has been leading tours around Sicily for 30 years and knows his way around. In his hands, we were fast tracked to all the sites, avoiding the long queues that were very apparent at popular destinations. Something I think that we all took for granted. Over the years, he has determined the pace that will best suit. A considerable art. We were never rushed. He was always good humoured and incredibly knowledgeable. The trip gives a very good overview of the entire island. For me, perhaps too much of an emphasis on the Greek and Roman. Free time made it possible to catch up on the Norman and Baroque. Not to mention the Puppets. I had a good time with a very congenial group of like minded travellers. Hotels weren't great but were adequate. Some could have been better located.

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!

Chantelle was an amazing tour leader on the gozo-Malta leg of the tour. We saw some most amazing places. Chantelle was very knowledgeable on the history of this region. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had an excellent tour leader who did her very best to ensure that we got to the locations at the best times. She dealt with everything with good humour and really made the trip for us. We came away with a thirst for more information - the local guides showed great knowledge and enthusiasm for their history.

This Ancient Sicily trip was really enjoyable and extremely interesting. The itinerary was excellent and Antonio (our tour guide) was outstanding in his knowledge of the Island on many levels from ancient times to present day. There is so much to this beautiful island and I would highly recommend this trip!!
