A mesmerizing feast of baroque architecture, Lecce dazzles the eye with its resplendent historical center, which is lined with buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. You’ll find dozens of striking churches and palazzi, along with a Norman-style castle and a trove of excellent museums. Lecce has been inhabited for over 2000 years, and you can see ancient Roman ruins in a horseshoe-shaped amphitheatre that once held 15,000 spectators.
The Amalfi coast is gorgeous. If you like scenic views and delicious food, it's a must. Expect to get lots of steps in, as there are many opportunities for active travelers. Our CEO Shallal was the best guide, and even helped to coordinate an optional excursion to Capri (a must-see in my opinion) on a private boat. I came in a day early to hike up Mt. Vesuvius (not included, but I'd recommend if you have extra time before or after). A fun trip for this solo traveler!
I chose this trip because of the 6 nights in Tuscany - Montecatini Terme. Cinque Terre, Lucca, Siena and San Gimignano were highlights of this tour. The food for the special dinners was amazing. Rosella and Massimo kept things on track. Organizing and coordinating tickets, transportation (2 ferries, train and bus) and firsthand knowledge of the areas visited was well exhibited by Rosella. The specialty tour guides were knowledgeable and added extra flair to the excursions. Enjoyed the trip immensely.
We covered a lot of ground and it was fast paced, but that allowed us to see and do so much. Our tour director and the local guides made for a wonderful experience.
Taormina is a synonym of sea and sun, ancient history, and atavistic cultures. It's one of the most evocative cities of Sicily, with its gaze turned to the Ionian Sea and its soul enraptured by Isola Bella. Climb the magnificent Mt Etna volcano and cruise along the Sicilian coast during this short four-day tour.
The Hotel were ok but did not cater to the tourist. The rooms did not have the use of the fans and found the air stagnant. A little air moving would helped.
The Hotel in Sicily in Jiardini Naxos, Caeser palace, found the hotel desk determinitly unhelpful.
