Sample rich Sicilian flavours like almonds and cannoli through several soul-stirring tasting experiences
Nibble on freshly shaped cheese as buffaloes swing their tails in the distance. Step back to a time when ancient Greeks roamed the earth as their stories are spoken through locals. And witness the trembling glory that is Mount Etna – one of the most active volcanoes in the world. On this expertly crafted tour of splendid Sicily, every day begs a new journey, and a question... What memories will we carve on the cobbled paths before us?
This tour delivered everything we expected it to. Our tour leader Danielle was great. Our tour group was great. Enjoyed every moment of the trip.
Interesting places and a varied schedule. Some of the accommodation was pretty average, small rooms and air conditioning that failed to function satisfactorily. Some of the provided meals were also less than of a satisfactory standard.
I had a really fun time with a great bunch of people. Danielle our Tour Manager was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble to make sure everyone was happy. I liked the fact that you weren't bound to do everything with everyone. There was free time to peruse other things to your liking. We had some very interesting visits to the Anti Marfia HQ in Palermo, an Olive Grove, an Almond Grove, a Buffalo Farm and some very nice lunches, to which we found that dinner was not necessary. A great sized bus, and our bus driver Salvadore was also very friendly and helpful. Accommodation was good, although it was very difficult to find an iron anywhere, so was a bit frustrating having to wear un-ironed clothing. All in all, I would definitely recommend Blue-Roads Touring Sicily.
Daniele was a wonderful travel director,very professional and easy to get along with,well organised and made this tour something to remember Salvo our driver was fantastic Some of the accommodation was not very good,need to review this part of the tour,our experience at the first hotel was terrible service extremely poor and food was way below standard. Overall a good experience,
The tour was fantastic but the bus was rather cramped there was no knee room also the bus we had had a very small overhead bag shelf couldn’t get small backpacks in it and with no spare seats we were sitting with bags on our laps The bus was the only fault as our guide and driver were very good
This was a great tour with just the right amount of people.It was good to have our bags delivered to our hotel rooms.The tour leader Loredana was fantastic very knowledgeable about all the places we visited.Lalla went out of her way to accommodate us we couldn’t ask for a better tour leader.While Gianni our driver made us feel safe and got us to our destinations.
Great tour, fabulous Tour Director. Hotels were mainly good, need a bit of tweaking. Breakfasts need more variety. Kiwis and Aussies aren’t used to cake for breakfast. More whole foods and less sugar. Places taken were fab. Lives up to its name, back roads. Good amount of organised and free time.
A great experience with a charming and knowledgeable tour leader and excellent driver of our coach. Quite strenuous walking terrain but much history to enjoy and learn, Accommodation varied and excellent as were our local dining experiences. Excellent trip .. thoroughly recommend.
Unfortunately I sprained my ankle the morning the tour started so was not able to participate in activities the first 3 days but our guide Daniela was fantastic in finding me alternatives
