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.
All the options were excellent. The local guides walked at a slow pace giving us time to take pictures. Our guide Alfonso and our driver Tito were great. We would take a tour with them anytime
Amazing Tour of Southern Italy ,Saw so many wonderful places and awesome experiences, We could never have organised visiting so many beautiful places by ourselves. The optional tours were a bonus and gave us choices , Met so many wonderful people on the tour from many parts of the world . Highly recommend going on an Expat tour,
Fabulous for seeing a lot in a short space of time, beware it's fast pace, long days, early mornings, many steps and long periods on a coach! Moona our tour guide was great!
Christina organized a fantastic first class itinerary for a 28 day tour of Italy by my wife and me. She was very personable and generous with her time and very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. The trip included incredible private tours with top notch guides and smooth transfers all the way. Any minor glitches were handled promptly and professionally. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to working with her again in the future.
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.
