Excellent - It was a really good tour. We went on vacation with my wife last September and spent a few days in Sicily. Taormina is fantastic. Corso Umberto is the most beautiful street. The public garden is also great. Castelmola is a little gem with small streets full of shops. Here we tasted the characteristic almond wine. The food and wine tasting was delicious at the end of the tour
