Travel Review: Vacation in Italy & Malta, Sicily, Palermo, Culture, History, Local Food

The itinerary was well-organized and well-paced. We covered both must-see sights plus other unique experiences. The travel consultant was very flexible in working with us as we put the itinerary together, understanding our priorities and expectations. The local guide was knowledgable, patient, and had a good sense of humor. She made sure we didn't miss any activity or sightseeing, in spite of our group's tendency to stop/shop and take lots of photos. She literally took care of us and went out of her way for us. Our driver was courteous and drove safely, the mini-bus was comfortable and always kept clean. There was chilled bottled water on board at all times.

The 4-star hotels we stayed at were superb and conveniently located for walking around the towns and to restaurants.
