Wonderful experience. Our guide was amazing and had a lot of knowledge about history. Lunch was customised based on our preference that was mainly panini and Catania red wine sourced from Etna. We saw churches, local markets, sea, churches, temple ruins.

We couldn't make this trip because of Covid-19 lockdowns but the Customer Service provided by Sicily Day by Day and Tripadvisor was first class. Big pity we couldn't go but I wouldn't hesitate to use both Sicily Day by Day and Tripadvisor in the future.
