Our concierge was to meet us at 3pm at our hotel however didn’t get there until 5pm which left us a little in the lurch. However when we did catch up he was very nice and helpful. Our guides were fantastic and very informative. The only thing I would let you know is that each guide repeated much of the same stories which was a little repetitive. Loved the places suggested however by the end of the trip we were glad not to see any more churches or relics. The number of days suggested in some of the cities were spot on. I most probably would have added one extra day in Syracuse/Ortigia. Driving should really be done from midday as everything is closed so when they arrive at hotel people can walk around when shops are opened.
Hotel Reviews
Really beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the old city close to everything.
Nice hotel just if the main road. Very nicely kept. Staff were excellent. Recommended a fantastic restaurant. Very obliging. Room was upgraded so that was excellent.
Quaint Boutique Hotel right next to the sea. Loved Ortigia would have stayed one more night.
Outside of Agrigento but in a perfect location if you don’t want to walk the city. Otherwise it’s around 4Km to city. We preferred were we stayed as it was all inclusive beautiful grounds lovely restaurant close to beach
Beautiful hotel in fantastic location just a couple of minutes away from all the hustle and bustle. The hotel had 6 floors. Rooms were well appointed but a little smaller than some of the other hotels we stayed in. I think we were upgraded to a balcony classic room which was very much appreciated. Breakfast was amazing. They don’t have a restaurant but they do a lovely lunch and afternoon sandwiches until 6pm. Hotel had a nice small pool which was nice to relax. I believe they are building a bigger one.

Georgio our guide was great and very informative we had a great day with him. We went to Monreal first then we walked all the way around Palermo. Really enjoyed our tasting lunch. Yum. He was lots of fun and bubbly with great history knowledge.
Relics to Remember absolutely fascinating.
What a massive area of all 4 Temples from Juno to Concordia Hercules and Zeus and the statue absolutely one of a kind
Chef made the day. He was funny and hands on with everyone. Meet some lovely people. We all had fun.
Unfortunately this was cancelled the day prior
Hi Lorna,
Thank you for your review and suggestions.
Your experience and insights are incredibly valuable to us and play a crucial role in our growth and improvement.
The pictures are fantastic—such lovely weather and blue skies throughout your trip... well, except for the day of Mt. Etna.
It was a real disappointment to hear that the Mt. Etna excursion was canceled due to weather conditions.
We’re still working on mastering weather control! Lol!
hope you are well settle back home,
see you soon,
valeria
