Great trip to Sicily 3/20 - 3/31. Wildflowers were in full bloom @ Valley of the Temples from the spring rains. Our tour guide Alfio was so knowledgeable & great sense of humor, organized, professional, & awesome listener too. I learned so much about Greek, Norman, & Arab history, We had a great group & plenty of room on the bus. It's a fast paced itinerary with stairs & elevation. All ((6) hotels were small local style & some were old convents. All had elevators & the walk from the train station to hotel was convenient.
The Salt Flats outside Trapani were so educational. All the cathedrals, churches, WW II museum, Canolli lessons & Sicilian Pizza demo, wine tasting were planned to perfection! Due to weather we could reach Mt. Edna Volcano fields @ 2k instead of 7k elevation.
In Siracusa we saw a Sicilian Puppet show & it was my birthday & Alfio had arranged for the cast to sing Happy Birthday to me! I was in tears. Great food, wine, accommodations, all ground travel was safe & convenient.
One of my BEST TRAVEL Experiences ever!!
