We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
It was well worth waiting two years for this trip to Sicily. We were lucky that the weather was perfect and the wild flowers at their peak. The walks were interesting and just the right length. The instructions were good and we had downloaded the map onto a gps which i think is essential. Lovely, welcoming hotels and plenty of good italian food. We particulary enjoyed our evenng at Yerex who had opened specially for us. All in all a wonderful stress free holiday. Thank you.
If you follow a sustainable / vegan diet, maybe contact the hotel beforehand and be sure someone in authority understands your dietary preferences.
We do pass on all dietary requirements to our hoteliers, so we're very sorry you experienced difficulties.
Wonderful walk through spectacular countryside views and flora in May. The hilltop towns exceeded expectations and were lovely places to stay and wander in the evenings. The walking notes were exemplary and very easy to follow.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our two trips. The weather was pleasing and it appeared our time there in early to mid-May was a little before the busy season, which we actually like.
