Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

Overview
In Syracuse, you step inside Paradise Quarry’s Ear of Dionysius with a Local Specialist and call into the cool limestone grotto, where your voice can return as many as 16 times. At Palermo’s Palatine Chapel, you look up at gold mosaics gleaming across the walls and ceiling, surrounded by centuries of intricate craft. Continue west past salt pans and old windmills before tasting Marsala wine in the town that shares its name. High above the Ionian Sea in Taormina, you explore the cliffside Greek theater with a Local Specialist and, on a clear day, look towards Mount Etna beyond the ancient stone.
