What our clients are saying about their Sicily tour
Italy, the Deep South & Sicily
Italy, the Deep South & Sicily
Dan and Janet, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
We recently completed Albatross Tours' Southern Italy & Sicily tour, and there was very little to complain about. Our guide, Mario, was excellent. He kept us informed of each day's schedule and shared a few group photos via WhatsApp (now the norm). The quality of the hotels was excellent, and we particularly enjoyed our cave accommodation in Matera. read more Except for Marsala, the hotels were located in towns, which allowed us to explore the sights independently. As compensation, the Marsala hotel had a nice swimming pool!
Every day, except an afternoon in Masala, was interesting. A programmed boat cruise was cancelled due to weather but it was just a windy day. Rather than taking the chance on the weather, I would have preferred an extra day (afternoon) in Palermo.
Most of the provided meals were good, but a few were ordinary. Nobody could eat the raw fish and prawns at Vittorio's restaurant. We left hungry. The dinners at the Marsala Hotel had to be chosen the night before and we had to sit at the same table each night. You didn't know what you were going to get and a few of the courses were not up to standard.
The guided tours were all of interesting (mostly) historic sights but I thought that there was just too much information to absorb. I suggest that the group be handed a printed summary (dot points) of that information, or the same be provided in a Whatsapp message. That way we could read it at leisure at a later time.
This was our second Albatross tour, and I would certainly travel with them again. The previous Albatross tour was of northern Italy and it was flawed in that the free time was scheduled during the day when a siesta was the norm. Nothing was open!

Hannah was perfect, help everywhere, nothing was any trouble. 10 out of 10 I would recommend her to any other traveller.
It was a good trip, just one thing, in Rome we ended up walking over 12 km kms, that really was a couple of kms too far, especially in the heat. Also, the male local guide made us walk back to the bus from the collaseum in a read more hurry, in the heat, and we were not allowed to stop for 2 minutes. Not a nice man and waisted too much time on boring stuff so we missed out on a close look down stairs at the Colosseum.

Globus was amazing!
The Sicilian with Malta
Suzanne, WA, Australia, May 2026
Wow, Globus was excellent in every way. Fabulous travel director and amazing coach driver. Most excursions were included with a total of 3 optional (paid) excursions offered over the 14 day tour. Sicily and Malta are absolute gems and the places and experiences we had were superb. The travel director was knowledgeable, professional and friendly, engaging read more warmly with the guests. Tracey at Global Journeys is always professional and does an amazing job in responding promptly with information, and always offers her assistance. Thank you Tracey!
Great Trip
Classical Sicily
Sue and Jason , QLD, Australia, Mar 2026
The tour was fantastic. Very full on but we saw a lot. Highlights were the townships we stayed in along the way and climbing Mt Etna. Hannah gave us the confidence that we were getting quality for our money and we weren't being scammed.
Sicilian Delight
Splendours of Sicily
Susan, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
This tour combines both the ancient history of Sicily and the culture of the Sicilian people through their food and living traditions. It included unique accommodation such as an Olive Farm and a previous Monastery as well as beautiful hotels. One other highlight was a five course degustation luncheon with matching wines on the slopes of Mt Etna. Included read more in the tour is also visits to community programs fighting against crime and teaching young people the art of early chocolate making. These, as well as many other activities, were achieved without long days of travel which is the disadvantage of many larger tours.
Old World Sicily & Malta with Collette
Old World Sicily & Malta
Donna, QLD, Australia, Oct 2025
Just got back from the Old World Sicily & Malta tour with Collette, and overall it was a fantastic experience! The itinerary was amazing — stunning places, great food, and the perfect mix of sightseeing and downtime. I was travelling solo, but honestly, it never felt that way. There was such a great group of people, and by the end, we all felt like read more family. So many laughs and fun moments along the way! Our tour manager was a really lovely guy, but it was his first tour with Collette, so he was still finding his way a bit. He tried hard (and even used Google a few times to help out, which gave us all a chuckle!). While it wasn’t quite up to the same level as my previous Collette tours, he had a great attitude and was genuinely kind.
Huge shoutout to Hannah from Global Journeys — she was absolutely amazing! She made the whole process so easy from start to finish, handled everything perfectly, and kept me in the loop the whole time. All in all, it was an incredible trip — great company, beautiful destinations, and so many laughs. I’d definitely travel with Collette again and book through Global Journeys in a heartbeat! 💖✨
