Ginny,

I did a tour of Sicily with my family in 2000. We used this company, http://www.touritaliainc.com/ and did the Sicily Charme Tour. It remains one of the best vacations we ever had. They had a maximum group size of I believe 20 people and we wound up with only 12 in a 24 person minibus. They allowed us to deviate the air and spend more time on the mainland of Italy and I don't think there were any extra charges. Our flights were delayed going over and they still were there to pick us up in Catania. We wanted to purchase rail tickets for after the tour to the mainland (Lamezia, then Amalfi and later Rome) we asked our guide about it and he offered to get them for us. We had a great time and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Debbie
