Treasures of Sicily

A very busy week spent travelling to a considerable number of places. Not much time to see anywhere properly but a good overview of the island. A lot of time spent in the coach.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking on Etna was an interesting and inspirational part of the trip - if you enjoy views and volcanoes!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader did not interact with the group and carried out his duties without humour, fun or enjoyment. This was the most disappointing aspect of the week, as having travelled with Exodus before, I have had far better group leaders who can make the holiday wonderful, exciting and longing for more. We had two other tour guides for a short period of time who were knowledgeable and interesting. Vanessa was particularly helpful on our last day helping us with travel arrangements and being a real group leader even diverting the coach to see some extra sites on the way to the airport. What a difference had she been our group leader for the week!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not take any extra items unless you really need them. Pack so you can find items easily without unpacking your suitcase each night. Bags of items of clothing are a good idea. Some people used poles when walking on Etna. Take them if you feel more comfortable using them on steep slopes - up and down. Take shoes to wear for swimming in the National Park as the beach is made up of large stones.

Reply from Exodus

We were sorry to hear that Susan was disappointed with aspects of her tour’s leadership as her tour leader usually receives very good feedback; we are in contact with Susan directly in this regard and our local manager has also followed up on her concerns with her tour leader.

The guide

Thoughts on Group Leader

Read above.... just a special lady

Advice for Potential Travellers

No .... a personal thing

Sicily

The sites we visited were fascinating, the accommodation was satisfactory, the guide was knowledgeable and the driver was good.

Most Inspirational Moment

Some of the remarkable archaeology sites, eg the doric temple at Segesta, and the cathedral at Monreale.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Treasures of Sicily

Brilliant introduction to glorious Sicily. So much to see, so little time, BUT a fantastic introduction covering everything from nature to culture, to ancient temples, wonderful scenery and fabulous food.

Most Inspirational Moment

I don't have just one. I loved everything, but especially the incredibly well preserved antiquities, including from Greek and Roman times.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Salvo was exceptional. Very hard working, making sure we all finished with a strong sense of appreciation of his Island and a desire to return. He was calm, able to adapt to unpredictable changes in weather which involved changes to itinerary. He created the perfect balance between bringing us to places and leaving us free to explore.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get fit before you leave! It is a magnificent journey with fabulous, full days, which demand some level of fitness. Pack layers covering yourself from warm, to hot to rain.

MS

An amazing trip, magical days in Beautiful Sicily, in the company of wonderful people, great food, and a very special guide, Fabio, who passed his love for Sicily to all of us

Most Inspirational Moment

each day was different and wonderful. perhaps favorites were Etna and Zingaro Natural reserve

Thoughts on Group Leader

The best!!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Cannot think of anything.

Treasures of Sicily

An ok trip, The towns were very pretty and the temples were in a good setting.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking round the towns and sampling the local food

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ok, but her english was not great and she wanted talk about ancient times and geology too much instead of telling the group the modern side of the island.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not book this trip if you are single and under the age of 50 and you wish to stay out later than 10 pm.

Treasures of Sicily

I had a great trip to Sicily with this tour and would never had enough knowledge or time to get to and see half the places the tour took us to.

Most Inspirational Moment

The landscape, stunning archeological ruins, an evidence of the people's tenacity to survive and strive after political and natural disaster. (See any picture of a fortified medieval hill town or coastal village hanging precariously to the coast)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader managed to keep us on track and ensure our needs were met with such grace and humour. She was able to make the answer to our questions seem fresh and new. She had a great depth of knowledge about the archeological sites and history of the area being a native of Sicily.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It helped me a great deal to read about the history of Sicily when Sicily was a Greek colony to appreciate the ruins Siracusa and the Valley of the Temples become much more meaningful.

Treasures of Sicily

This was an excellent trip. It was busy, but not too tiring even though it was very hot.

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably the Greek temple and Roman amphitheatre in Syracuse.

Thoughts on Group Leader

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

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not try the coastal walk if you suffer from vertigo.

A whirl wind tour of Sicily

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me it was the cathedral at Monreale. Such beauty and skill. Some of the 'old ruins' were pretty awe inspiring too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Milena was great, really enthusiastic about her home island and very knowledgeable about the landscape.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for a lot of steps! Also remember it is only a taste of Sicily, a tantalising glimpse.

S+J in Sicily

Everything we could have wished for and more. A good mix of history and landscape.

Most Inspirational Moment

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!

Thoughts on Group Leader

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.

Advice for Potential Travellers

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.
