The tour guide was good, however very disappointed in Tauck's selection of hotels, places to visit, professionalism and precision of movement. The hotel in Siracusa, the Grand Hotel Des Etrangers, was an absolute disgrace and unfit to stay at. It was extremely dirty, it smelled disgusting and was really unsafe. Mold and mildew on bathroom walls.

Leaving on the last day. The food was actually very good though. Leave out the stay in Sciacca. Very nice hotel if you are looking for a vacation in the Caribbean or Florida or Arizona. Didn't feel like Italy and especially not Sicily. Waste of time.
We just completed our first Tauck tour - ten days in Sicily. What we learned is that Tauck will put you in the best hotel possible but in Sicily, some are not that impressive but are fine. The sites were wonderful, the special Tauck spots were great but NOTHING made it as special as our Tour Director. Wish I had more room!
Most Memorable Moment:
In Ortigia Island, off Siracusa, we had lunch at the home of a Baron. It was a day there was an enormous festival with thousands of people crammed into a magnificent piazza. And there we were, in balconies of his home, overlooking the festivities, drinking his wine and having lunch. Truly memorable. But it was our Tauck Director we remember the most!
