Sicily Tours in Spring

You really do need two weeks to cicumnavigate Sicily and see things properly. Any shorter and you'll get just a couple highlights or get very rushed from place to place. This tour had good pace, gave sufficient time in major sites (Syracuse, Agrigento, Palermo, Villa del Casale) and included gems like Morgantina, Mozia Island, and Enna. Antonio is an exceptional wealth of information, its obvious he has a professional background in Sicilian history. The level of historical, cultural and architectural background information was tremendous, helped greatly to put things in context and understand the flow and changes absorbed by this island that resulted in what we were seeing.

This was a really great trip. We saw a great deal and the itinerary really made the most of our time in Sicily. The small group size was a real bonus. The hotels were all good and the transport comfortable, excellent drivers. We really enjoyed the holiday and would thoroughly recommend this to others wanting to see a lot of Sicily in a short time.

We were lucky with the weather and countryside. Apparently the green will go very shortly so this was an excellent time to choose. The route up Etna proved easier than expected. Our guide was very knowledgeable and put much time and effort into giving us information about the island.Well organised !

Information provided about each day's walking was comprehensive, up to date and easily accessible. Directions to accommodation were generally good but in some cases not 100% accurate. In those cases we had to rely on signs or trial and error. Baggage transfers were all fine and those wanting a day off could be taken to the next stop with the bags.

Walking the Magna Via Francigena was challenging - many steep hills, mud and rain. They organised everything else so that all we had to do was walk, making the walk much easier. The scenery was stunning.

Our tour guide Christian Cueva was excellent, this was our 2nd tour with Christian. We were very happy to see him again as our 1st tour with was excellent. Our favorite experience was the tour to Mt Enta.
