Taormina Cultural, religious and historic sites Trips

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

My wife and I had a great time on the trip. Our tour leader, Alessio, did a fantastic job and really made our daily adventures both fun and educational. 5 Stars for him!! We usually do not travel with group tours, but in a place like Sicily it made the daily travel arrangements and transportation much easier and seamless. Everything was wonderful, except for a few of the hotel accommodations which were a bit uncomfortable. Some of the highlights for us were the cooking class, temples in Agrigento, the Villa Romana, street food tour in Palermo, Mt. Etna hike and the wine tasting at Gambino Winery.

A well planned itinerary circumnavigating the island to visit the major sites with the odd dart inland for even more. The minibus was comfortable, as were the hotels, which came in a variety of sizes and styles that added to the experience. Most were right in the heart of their communities, so there was never far to walk for sightseeing or amenities, such as restaurants. Apart from a brief period of Saharan wind and sand, we had perfect weather for sightseeing, sunny but not too hot. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

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.
