What people love about touring Sicily solo
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
We had a great experience. The history and culture of Sicily is amazing. Our tour guide, Vittoria, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She certainly loves Sicily. The hotels and food exceeded our expectations.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
The tour was very well organized and we couldn’t have had a better tour leader. Angelo was always very kind and patient and went above and beyond to be helpful. We saw quite a bit of Sicily in just one week. Hotels were ok, 4 star by Sicilian standards I guess. Included lunches were good for the most part. The included dinners were substandard. We had a great group which added to the enjoyment of the tour. It would be helpful to know hotels we are staying in more than 5 days before tour starts so we can book our own airport transfers which would have been less expensive. Also more attention needs to be paid to the small details. Didn’t affect me much since I am on top of everything but still had to deal with and correct the minor mistakes in my booking. All in all a good trip!
- Sicilian Secrets - Mini Tour of Sicily 5 days
Grazia was an amazing tour guide. She was knowledgeable and accommodating. The sights were amazing and the hotels were mostly wonderful. The tour is ambitious, for sure! I would say a person should be in decent shape and be prepared to walk and climb stairs. Dimensione Sicilia is a great tour with great value for the money. It was really the experience of a lifetime. Meeting fellow travellers is also lots of fun. I recommend this tour!
