What's Included in your Best of Sicily in 12 Days tour
Great Guides!
"Alfio DiMauro (above) was very knowledgeable and showed a true love for his Sicilian homeland. He was always open to any question on whatever the subject. He had a great sense of humor. Any future tour member will be lucky to have Alfio as their guide."
— Angie in Edmonds, WA
"Heidi Sewell is an exceptional guide. Her in-depth knowledge of Sicily added a further dimension to an already fascinating trip. Even on our 'days off' she would say things such as 'I'm going to hike the crag tomorrow at 9:00 if anyone wants to join me.' And of course, most of us did!"
— Brenda in Surrey, BC
