Very well organised from the first email to the end of the tour. Pickup on time, comfortable van and a guide who really loves Sicily.

Beautiful places and a relaxed pace. We asked for a stop that was not on the program and the guide was happy to add it.

Excellent value for money. The tastings were generous and the stories even better. Highly recommended.
