Our tour of Sicily includes visits to sites and villages as diverse as Taormina above the Ionian Sea, the Sicilian Baroque cities of Noto and Siracusa, the stunning mosaics at the Villa Romana del Casale near Piazza Armerina, and a winery on the slopes of Mt. Etna. Sicily is a gorgeous and surprising island. Greek temples, Roman ruins, and ancient amphitheaters play host to annual drama and music festivals. From small trattorias to lovely boutique restaurants, Sicily will sate the appetite of hungry travelers with some of the finest food in Italy.

This was my third Private Italy trip. I didn't think the other two could be topped. I can't imagine a more perfect tour. Great food, wonderful people. We have since all had a reunion at my house in NC. The villa was like something out of a movie, the staff was first class, the chefs primo. I felt more pampered than at any other time in my life. I would love to do this tour again. I loved Positano. And Capri. And Catonia. I loved it all. And so did my best friends.
