Fabulous trip tailored to our needs - We booked a two week tour of Sorrento and Sicily with Tour of Sicily. Most of our activities were private with a few group activities in between. Tour of Sicily did a fantastic job planning our entire trip. We had some private guides who were absolutely wonderful. Hiring a guide made a tremendous difference to provide history and understanding of this beautiful region. They chose guides who are passionate about their respective cities and very friendly. We especially enjoyed the two cooking classes, the tour/lunch at a winery and staying in Origia. Valeria planned a well balanced itinerary with lovely hotels. The company was very responsive to our needs when we contacted them during the trip as well. We highly recommend Tour of Sicily!
