Experience the real Sicily

A very immersive trip that travelled the whole way round Sicily visiting beautiful towns and historical sites on the way. Our guide Tiziano was passionate about showing us the real Sicily and made sure we visited all the best sites, ate the best food and experienced new and exciting things at every stop. All the hotels were well placed to allow us to explore on our own. The expert guides we met at the historical sites were amazing and super knowledgeable and made each of the site come to life

A Magical Two Weeks

A well planned itinerary circumnavigating the island to visit the major sites with the odd dart inland for even more. The minibus was comfortable, as were the hotels, which came in a variety of sizes and styles that added to the experience. Most were right in the heart of their communities, so there was never far to walk for sightseeing or amenities, such as restaurants. Apart from a brief period of Saharan wind and sand, we had perfect weather for sightseeing, sunny but not too hot. We enjoyed everywhere we went.

Definitely the best of Sicily

We have just completed The Grand Tour of Sicily with the fabulous Titziano guiding us every step of the way. I really felt no stone had been left unturned. We saw and experienced so much on this tour. I had no idea Sicily had so many important ancient sites and we weren’t expecting it to be so green in certain parts.In addition to Titziano, we had 3 local guides to show us specific sites. They were all able to bring places to life and tell stories rather than simply quoting a load of facts.

A trip around Sicily

This trip has been running for several years and the itinerary works well. We felt there was a good balance between organized activities and free time to relax/explore on our own. We enjoyed wandering around Ortigia, Erice and Cefalu, but found Taormina underwhelming as, apart from the Amphitheatre, it is basically one long, crowded street of tourist shops and expensive boutiques. The accommodation was generally fine – our favourite was Il Barocco in Ragusa. The agroturismo stay was disappointing; we had expected a meal featuring homegrown produce, which was not in evidence!

Very disappointing

Tour Guide was very good but it was more of a walking trip than we had expected. The hotels were not up to standard and one in particular was very dirty. Breakfasts were very poor.
