Sicily Tours in Summer

First of all, our tour guide, Ivan, was an integral part in making this tour so amazing. This was my first time taking a tour with a small group of people on an international trip. This was the perfect sized group - we bonded immediately on the first night. Ivan went out of his way to make us all feel like family. My daughter and I both had a hard time leaving everyone when the trip was over. Collette should reconsider the hotel and location in Ragusa. We weren’t able to walk anywhere and the accommodations in the hotel were honestly not that great - Ivan did manage to get us all water bottles which was nice. Our tour bus driver Giuseppe also deserves a special recognition! WOW did he do a great job. I will say that one of the things that I appreciated about this tour, was the fact that it felt like we were supporting local businesses. There were many times where it felt like we were able to step back in time and immerse ourselves in the history and the culture of Sicily. .

Ivan was an excellent Tour Manager. He went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure we enjoyed our tour. The accomodations in Ragusa could have been better.

What a wonderful adventure on the island of Sicily. There is everything you could want there - history, culture, scenery, food and wine! There was a good mix of everything on this trip, and I felt that I got to see so many amazing things that I wouldn't have had I been holidaying on my own

They did a fanastic job organizing our trip, and were very responsive to iur queries and requests while we were en-route. The walk itself was spectacular although I would not recommend doing it in mid summer (as we did) because of the heat and lack of shade on large sections of the walk.

This trip was a thoroughly enjoyable experience in all respects. It has a well thought-out and interesting itinerary, good hotels and seamless travel arrangements. The tour gives sufficient time to explore many of Sicily’s architectural and cultural wonders, as well as spending several hours on Mt Etna and walking in the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Our guide Francesco was outstanding – very friendly, informative and helpful. At some of the sites we had local guides who were also very good. Our enjoyment of the trip was greatly enhanced by our fellow travellers who gelled extremely well as a group and were excellent company throughout the trip.

Excellent weeks walking along beautiful coastal paths with a small group of like minded hikers. (And fortunately Nino had a great sense of humour!) The walking is fairly easy with the usual loose rocks; I find boots best giving ankle support combined with beach shoes and sandals for other "terrain". When snorkelling I saw sea urchins so worth keeping the beach shoes on when swimming. Delicious Italian food........what more can you say
