Has anyone done the Odyssey unlimited trip to Southern Italy and Sicily? It is 15 days long. I am interested in it because it combines southern Italy with Sicily and it’s a way to see both. Has anyone had experience with Odyssey unlimited?

I have done a few OU tours, but none in Europe. I was happy with all of them, they compare well with RS tours.

We did one of their Spain/Portugal tour several years ago with another couple we met on a Rick Steves tour. We were happy with their service and the friends have continued to travel with them. They offered more group meals and luggage assistance. What made the difference for us was the location of their hotels. Central locations are a big factor for us and the Rick Steves tours tend to feature that. Odyssey Unlimited does tell you the hotels they are using so you can see for yourselves.

Though my late husband and I were committed independent travelers, we used OU a few times for destinations like Morocco and Vietnam, where the language and script were not European. Our experiences were stellar. Hotels were ranged from really good to super. All food was great; guides, outstanding. Our tour to Baltic Capital and St. Petersberg got aborted by covid, and our deposit was returned promptly. Sadly, that tour has not been offered again. If it were, I’d sign up with no hesitation.
