Excellent experiences. Covered all the main parts of Sicily
The itinerary was well balanced in terms of activity. Free time was available if you wanted it. We enjoyed the optional experiences.
Great journey through all of Sicily
Great around the island trip. Would have liked a bit more time some places, even just 15 mins. E.g. in Catania. All the stops were great to see. The hotels were good. Breakfast in the hotels were amazing. Massive dessert spread for breakfast. The specialty dinners were amazing!! Each one so great and different!! I thought the Cefalu trip should have been part of the package. The Trafalgar back office staff were disappointing. Your prices for private transfers were too pricey. Tour director and driver were great. Lots of walking. And walking uphills. Warm people in the trip description.
Sicily has been on my must do list for a long time it did not disappoint Well paced Most hotels ok - however last hotel was not close enough to Taromina a bit out of the way and I could have got an earlier flight to Athens I wasted a day ganging around hotel as nothing to do so that was disappointing
