Taste of Sicily!! Amazing evening, made even better by our tour manager, Dario.
Wonderful itinerary. Sicily is so unique! really enjoyed exploring all the different regions we went to. Loved Sorrento, Matera and Pompei.
Sitting at the Mediterranean one afternoon across from our hotel in Palermo
Truly amazing - we experienced so much great culture and food. The most memorable was the climb up Mount Etna - what an extraordinary sight!
This was our first international trip and first with a tour group. Collette was a great tour and we couldn't have asked for anything better. We truly enjoyed our trip, making new friends and seeing so many different places. We saw what was listed in the brochure and more. We didn't have just one favorite because all the places we went were so beautiful and we enjoyed traveling. We also purchased the optional excursions and that really added to the trip. So much history! Attached is a photo of the Greek Theater in Taormina with Mt. Etna smoking in the background.
Visting farms where they make ricotta and mozzarella chesses and learning how to make Arancini. I made so many wonderful memories in this beautiful country can't wait to return.
Overall the tour was good. Loved all of the history that we learned and went to see in person. The only issues I had a few times was the lack of food quality that was available at some of the hotels / resorts we stayed at.
Tour was fantastic. Tour guides were kind and went above and beyond. I loved the visits to the farms and orchards. The food was fabulous. Good balance between touring and downtime. I loved hearing about the history in Sicily and touring some famous sites.
The tour of Pompeii
The winery with the cooking was amazing. I like the one hotel on the beach. The buffalo cheese experience was better than I expected. The optional dinner was not worth the money.
