CATHY'S FAMILY TRIP TO SICILY
WHAT THE CLIENT ASKED FOR...
Cathy was referred to me by a dear client. She had visited Sicily many years ago and this time wanted to return with her husband and adult sons. The key was making sure everyone enjoyed the vacation. They did not want the trip to be too scheduled - they wanted some days at leisure as well as days of sightseeing and learning the history of the areas they were visiting. They were also concerned about local businesses being closed and dining during the holidays in December.
​
WHAT WE BOOKED FOR THEM...
Cathy and her family spent 11 fantastic nights in Sicily. We designed their itinerary keeping their interests in mind and included luxury hotel properties with spectacular views and wonderful amenities. From casual walking tours with street food tastings, to visiting temples, to local guides taking them to off-the-beaten-path places. We found the perfect spots for celebratory dinners during the holidays. They thoroughly enjoyed the restaurants and had a wonderful experience at the New Year's Eve dinner and celebration in Taormina.

THEIR TESTIMONIAL...
"I cannot thank you enough for the help and the fantastic itinerary to Sicily. We enjoyed everything - from sightseeing, to street food and wine tastings, to a surprise hike on Mt. Etna to a spectacular agriturismo we would never have otherwise found. This was the first time on any trip we've taken to Italy (and we have traveled there a dozen times in the last 30 years) where we had pre-organized excursions and tour guides. We had the perfect balance of organized activities and free time. Our tour guides were locals with deep knowledge of the area and history. They made stops and introduced us to things we would never have found on our own. The hotels were exceptional and the restaurant recommendations were fantastic. There were six of us, and everyone found something memorable nearly every day. Belkys made the entire process very easy, covered every detail and answered many questions quickly and carefully. I look forward to working with you again in the future!"
