This was an excellent trip. It was busy, but not too tiring even though it was very hot.
Probably the Greek temple and Roman amphitheatre in Syracuse.
Dani was first class. His knowledge of the geology and history of Sicily as excellent, and his warm and helpful personality contributed hugely to the success of the trip
Do not try the coastal walk if you suffer from vertigo.
After about thirty trips with Explore Worldwide, this was our first Exodus trip. We were not disappointed.
This trip was wonderful but not quite sure where the ‘leisurely’ rating comes from. It is very full on and really offers a tantalising taste of what Sicily has to offer. Days are jam packed and you often find yourself wishing you could spend more time in certain places. I had no idea it was such a beautiful island and would definitely like to return to do it more slowly.
For me it was the cathedral at Monreale. Such beauty and skill. Some of the 'old ruins' were pretty awe inspiring too.
Milena was great, really enthusiastic about her home island and very knowledgeable about the landscape.
Be prepared for a lot of steps! Also remember it is only a taste of Sicily, a tantalising glimpse.
Hotels were variable and not always as you would like, whilst others were lovely. The food at all the restaurants Milena took us to was wonderful and the wine tasting experience was great with the bonus of a lovely setting and great food thrown in. A really lovely, if exhausting, trip. Do it!
Everything we could have wished for and more. A good mix of history and landscape.
Happening upon a wedding in Cefalu Duomo. Before the brides's arrival on the arm of her father a choir of friends and relatives rehearsed a hallelujah chorale that the sang as the bride and her father entered. The youthful beauty of the bride, her father wearing a suit in which he didn't look comfortable, the swelling choir and the underpinning bass chords of the organ- wonderful!
Salvatore was excellent- a true Sicilian with a passion for his country and a wish to share that with us. His care and attention was exemplary.
Be prepared to budget a good amount for food. I feel that the trip would be improved if all food was included in a trip price. Also some places charge a tourist tax per head.
The Palermo day and the local guide was a case of over-guiding and too much information. Monorail and the Palermo cathedral were both unmissable but we appreciated the free afternoon hours to get our own flavour of Palermo. I appreciate it is a question of balance in the allocation of places and events. On our departure date we had a free full day in Taormina which upgraded our appreciation of this tourist honey-pot. We also discovered the location for a 1943 pen and ink sketch done by my wife's father whose medical dressing station was sited here after the Allied invasion of Sicily.
A busy 8 days with a full programme visiting many interesting locations. The better than average coach was comfortable. Hotels were at UK 3 star standard or above. I would recommend this trip for those interested in Histroy and culture of that lovely Island.
Interesting tours of Historic sites. Cultural details and sights made the trip.
A great guide: always smiling and made the best of a snow storm on Mount Etna also dealing with other difficulties with ease. Giving out maps at every location with information to help. Always willing to talk further and well organised.
Busy trip with only a few hours to rest and for travellers who want to see and do.
October is a good month for weather, not too hot for sightseeing, but still sunny. Guide (Fabio) was knowledgeable. Plenty to see and do.
Wine-tasting.
As always with Exodus this was a trip that offered a maximum of content with an economy of time. The stunning natural beauty of the Zingaro National Reserve contrasts with the man made splendour of Noto which we saw in the golden light just before sunset. The Sicilian cuisine was such an important and memorable part of the trip.
The Valley of the Temples at Agrigento and the Greek theatre at Segesta, pure magic.
Vanessa had superb organisational skills which made the week fly by with no problems or issues. When the weather was less than helpful there was a plan B which was interesting and simulating. Vanessa had a great sense of humour and worked hard to be inclusive, this allowed a positive group ethos to be established very quickly. This was her first trip with Exodus but you would never had guessed that, she acted as if she was a long established member of the team.
When it rains, it really rains! Bring a waterproof jacket. Enclosed beach shoes that you can swim in would help on the beaches which are covered with pebbles of different sizes.
Some of the hotels on the trip are really nice and well placed. In other places the hotels have a large number of coach parties staying with a resulting lack of customer focus and care. The Hotel Della Valle in Agrigento was particularly poor, when l complained about waiting an hour for food l was told it was my fault for wanting to eat on a busy night. The use of two tier breakfasts (cheaper one for coach parties) was regrettable and the serving of instant coffee at breakfast must be a crime in Italy!
A comprehensive road trip of Sicily that gave you just a taste of Siciian culture and history. Great group who got along very well from day one of the trip!
We were surprised by the architecture in the Barogue towns and our visit to The Valley of the Temples was a highlight.3Great local guide there too!
Vanessa was the most organized guide I have had when travelling with Exodus! We were supplied with maps daily and we were debriefed each evening. Everyone's needs were met and she was always professional. What she did not know, she found out. She was friendly, had a keen understanding of Sicily and spoke excellent English. Her optional evening meal gatherings proved to be enjoyable and right on!
This is a very intensive tour all round the island. The climb up Mount. Etna was good as far as we could go which was curtailed due to heavy mist. There are several visits to ruins of Temples and Theatres. with plenty of time to explore.
The Valley of the Temples at Agriegento
Our leader, Fabio was fun and knowledgeable.
Bring a good pair of walking shoes as well as waterproof clothing....we were travelling the last week in May
Be prepared for hill walking and gnat bites(May). Weather un-predictable
We have just returned from 9 days in Sicily and had our usual great time thanks to Exodus. This trip gives you a chance to get the feel of Sicily. We visited 22 places and covered 1,000 kilometers in that time, going clockwise around the island stopping at all the important locations. I would suggest that you use this holiday as a general introduction to Sicily, deciding which places you would like to visit next time to explore in more detail. Fabio, our guide was wonderful. Born and bred there, he had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the island and no detail was too much trouble for him. The accommodation was a good mix of 3 and 4 star hotels and he pointed out some excellent restaurants to us. One pleasant surprise was the quality of the local wine, particularly Nero d’Avola.
Catching a brief glimpse of Mount Etna with its great lava flows when the clouds parted momentarily.
Fabio was great.
Although it is rather a nuisance when going to a Mediterranean island close to summer, take warm clothes and good shoes for the walk up to Etna, the winds and rocks can be evil.
This was my first group holiday and it was a wonderful experience. It was organised so well and we saw Sicily in all its beauty. the group got on very well together which as a solo traveller was good for me. It was a wonderful introduction to this island and I would love to return and take my time in various parts of it. The food and wine were excellent and cheaper than any of us expected.
I loved noto with its baroque architecture. I love the sea and the countryside and found Mount Etna and the nature reserve very inspiring.
Salvo was very knowledgeable about nature and plants so all visits to Mount Etna and the countryside were very interesting. His organisational skills are very good and he is very good at answering questions. He was very helpful in suggesting restaurants to us and we enjoyed his suggestions for food and wine. In smaller places he arranged that we stop at a delicatessen for food for lunch which worked very well.
The temperature was abnormally high for early May so make sure you bring all the sun protectors advised,
the driver of our coach was excellent and friendly and was most helpful.
