Pretty good tour; learnt so much about the history of the places visited; experienced amazing landscapes, sights. Guided tours were good and informative.

Tours by similar companies range in price, but I always feel that I get a honest fair price and accomodations from Expat Explore. This tour was exceptional for seaside accomodations, but you get what you pay for. So many memorable stops were chosen, with the right amount of time to explore them, either with a walking tour with a local ""guide"", as well as on your own, or both. I was surprised at the natural beauty of So. Italy (as well as Sicily), and historical significance going back to pre Roman times. This trip I will remember for a long time!
