“All we hoped for and more. Most special is Allison herself, Massimo, and her family and great guides. The adaptability the team showed as the trip upfolded in response to guest needs, traffic, weather and all unforeseen was exceptional. And the wide-ranging look into history, culture, and Sicilian life and people all we could wish for. Looking forward to more. This is Sicily live and in color.” ~ Torrie, California | Stunning Sicily 2022
