Testimonials

Hi Michele! I want you to know that all of us on the tour think highly of Salvo, you and Sicily TravelNet. I will be certain to recommend your tours to other cruisers on a website for cruisers that I visit a lot.

Thanks again for all the help you gave us in planning this tour. We hope to return to Sicily and tour with you again because there's still so much to see.

We will drive into the beautiful countryside of the province of Palermo. Towering in the distance is a spectacular-looking mountain called Rocca Busambra, a nature sanctuary where eagles nest, but gruesomely used in the past by the Mafia to hide corpses in its crevices. Then we will move on to the famous town of Corleone. Founded in ancient times and then colonized first by Arabs and later by Lombards, this little town has maintained a medieval aspect within the surrounding green farmland. Although this town was home to a number of Mafia bosses in the past, you will be surprised to be greeted by its friendly citizens, an excellent example of the typical Sicilian hospitality that can still be found in the rural areas of this island. Then we will drive just outside town to visit a family owned winery and farmhouse. There we will have a chance to try out some of the wines together with a Sicilian country-style meal.
