United States
Every want and need was met over and above our expectations. The venue was fantastic; the staff was pleasant and helpful; Colin Elliott added so much to our knowledge; Mimmo Cuomo was the perfect planner and enhanced our trip; the drivers, especially Mario (??) was skilled; and Ernie and I had a marvelous time. This was our first AHI/Nebraska trip; it won't be our last!
Our trip to Sicily was just what we wanted - and more. Ruins, wineries, museums - Rose Forbes and Christine Ismail created a perfect time. Allesandia was our Guardian Angel for our coming and going. Constantino drove us to Syracuse. The Maniace Hotel in Ortigia was delightful as was the waiting bottle of Prosecco. Our large balcony was across the street from the Ionian Sea, just right for wine and cheese. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Galina Samokhvalova was our guide extraordinaire in Syracuse, Ragusa, and Modica; every good adjective pertains to her. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and steeped in history both past and present. She was one of the best guides we've had - ever. Renato was a good driver, Michael was our guide on Republic Day in Syracuse and Taormina, giving us in depth information in an understandable way. Martine gave us a different slant on Taormina with not only history but the historical people as well. Cottanera Winery was very good with a view of Mt. Etna through a large window while we tasted (and bought) the wine. Ernie and I were sad to leave lovely Sicily; we plan to go back for a longer time. Thank you for your work for our pleasure.
