I'm drooling at all the other posts about all the other tours! Sicily people, let's join the fun!
My husband and I are signed up for the June 8 tour, joining two friends we met on a RS tour of Greece in 2011. This will be our second RS tour, our 4th time in Italy, but our first visit to Sicily.
I'm so excited! Can't wait to meet our tour buds. See you in June!

Alfio ws my guide for this tour in 2011. Tomaso so guidednus thou Taeromina.. And I have caught up with him on May ETTBD reunions since. Caio bello!!
If you can do it, a side trip to the Valley of the Temples is great. You can take a train from Palermo to Agrigento and then catch a local bus to the Valley of the Temples. While you're in the Agrigento train station, try the cannoli's....they're enormous and maybe you'll get offered a day old cannoli at a bargain price. Want a place to eat in Palermo? Try the il Brodo restaurant (Via Emmanuele ??). Good menu selections and a reasonable price.
