  • "This was my 4th trip with Daniel - and each time I travel with Daniel, the last trip was my favorite. So this last trip was my latest favorite. Sicily was amazing, the group was fun, all the restaurants and vineyards were unique, and off the beaten path - we always wondered, how did Daniel find this place!?! ..and the hotel accommodations always 5 stars! When you travel with Daniel, you don't have to worry about anything, everything is taken care of for you all you have do is show up in Italy and you're in for a very unique experience."
