Review Time
The guides and itinerary were the best part of this trip. Our guide gave us the equivalent of an intensive 5-day course on prehistory, history, geology, wines - and answered any questions we asked. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned and organized.
Our trip with Classic Journeys through Tuscany and Cinque Terre was exceptional. It offered exactly what we were looking for - beautiful scenery, a nice mix of countryside and and coastal walks, high-quality accommodations, delicious local food & wine, and a small group experience.
This trip was a truly exceptional experience into the culture, history, geology and food of Sicily. Learning the complex history behind the island, and experiencing so much of the historical structures, geology and natural beauty was very fulfilling. The food was unparalleled, and. the stops to learn and experience native food culture at a winery in Mt Etna, a cheese farm and and an Olive Oil Plantation were truly eye opening and educational, not to mention the tastings :)The accommodations in Agrigento and Taormina were divine, and you might want to add some time to enjoy the amenities at the Verdura Resort (Agrigento) (Beach, Golf, Tennis, Spa, Pool)This is not really a Hiking/Walking tour - so do not expect anything more than some amblings....with one exception! The hike up Mt Etna (though not all the way to the top!) took some effort, but not much :) Seeing and learning about this active volcano with it's lava flows was wonderful.We went with another couple that are our friends, and the 6 others in the group all got along superbly, with great interaction and sharing experiences. We are fortunate!To compete the island, one may want to add on a day prior to see Monreale, Segesta and Elice - which can be done through local tour guides as well, and then similarly to Siracusa at the end - this would give you the total experience!!!!All these types of trips are highly dependent on your Guide - and here we scored a 10/10!!!! Francesco was a gem. Classic Journeys is fortunate to have him as one of their Tour Guides.
