Fabulous trip
First, I want to thank you for a wonderful experience and offer my praise for putting together a fabulous trip. I will miss some superlatives but they include: able escorts (not strong car guys but attentive hosts), well thought out routes and the “bicycle” route guides for same, the thoughtfulness of supplying an auxiliary phone power source, pleasant and well situated lodging at the NH in Palermo and near Mount Etna, some insanely bountiful lunches and a fabulous Michelin Star experience on our last night – all nights but the first (a great atmosphere but average fare) measured up to our last meal, prearranged and easy to find parking in Taormina, a fabulous, knowledgable and articulate guide in Palermo, scripted menus, nocturnal tours and, of course, the opportunity to drive a different Alfa each day. Criticisms are few but you have asked for same: I found the hotel near Cefalu to be consumer unfriendly and most occupants were concerned and discomfited by the malodor of unburned petrol – might I suggest in line filters for the gas tank vents.
