Excellent
The trip was brilliant. We were collected from our hotel in a comfortable coach and travelled for around 3 hours for the ferry crossing over the Strait of Messina. A further hour or so travelling across Sicily before arriving in the town of Taormina. We had 4 hours to explore where we climbed the hill the Ancient Greek Roman amphitheatre, did some shopping, had a cable car ride to the Mazzaro bay and sampled the local arranchini. The coach journey was long as expected but Patricia the guide was amazing. She kept us entertained the whole time. She was so knowledgable, she shared so much information of history, interesting facts, local myths and legends. A clearer itinerary would have been helpful before we booked the trip to manage our expectations. The booking form stated the trip was 8 hours but in reality it was nearer to 11. Overall a great experience to sample the delights of Sicily, a long trip made by a brilliant tour guide.
