Palermo Tours and Trips

Italy is way more than a few big cities. This tour provided a mix to see the real Italy while exploring the rich history that made this place so special.

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.

Most of the tours were excellent. and all the guides on the optional tours were great! The touring the winery was mediocre. All the hotels were excellent. A little too much walking once the bus stopped. Loved Cefalu, Ragusa, Taoromina and Savoca! went above and beyond!

The itinerary was comprehensive and well paced. The hotels were very good and the dinner choices were excellent with the local farm dinners exceptional. We were, however, disappointed in the seafood dinner in Sferracavallo. , our tour leader and , our bus driver were exceptional. We always felt SAFE and well informed. As a group we ate well, toured, learned Sicilian culture and geography but most of all had FUN.
