Deborah LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sicilitude is an A-1 company. From the beginning of our communications they understood what we wanted, which was additional information on our family as well as the places they lived and things they did. A few Zoom meetings were held to make sure all was on track. The booking process was very clear and what we could expect to pay for what we received was also clear. We received sites to review for our hotels, and Sylvia did a superb job with selection. We arrived before Easter and Anita stayed close by. We couldn't believe the parts of the towns and country she found. And the coup was meeting 15 cousins she sneakily arranged. We paid a company, but we made friends as well. We will go back. Terry OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m struggling to convey my thanks and appreciation for the work of Anita and Sylvia at Silicitude. We literally couldn’t have asked for more from them, from organising our itinerary and booking our hotels not to mention driving us around the Sicilian countryside to see the sites and experience the places of our ancestors. Everything from finding local historians to research our family history to knocking on doors in search of living relatives. The service is exemplary in every way. Anita picked us up from our hotel each day and took us to the towns of our family where we learned about life then and now, the hardship that faced families and encouraged emigration to the US in particular and why so many of the local Sicilians choose to live the New York. We saw places of work and worship, streets where our families were born and lived and ultimately their final resting places. Along the way we learned about local customs, ate amazing local foods and of course sampled the local vino! Anita was so much more than a tour guide, she personalised our experience and became a real friend who shared in the emotional journey we were on! I would highly recommend the team at Silicitude for anyone wishing to discover their Silician roots and to really understand the culture and traditions of the places where their families lived or in our case still live! Alissa OTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anita and her team far exceeded my expectations! It is very clear that they love their work and provide very personalized attention. Having the surprise of connecting with unknown relatives was surreal! My most joyous and memorable experience!

Vine feliz de ese viaje tan inolvidable Steven KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anita’s research took the family back to the 1500’s in Calatafimi. Her work was beyond what I expected; she traced the family back to the very first ancestor there. Through this impressive research, we were able to meet with cousins we never knew existed, and learned how the rich history of Sicily left its impact on the family line. We left Sicily with our hearts full of understanding and a new-found family. I highly recommend Anita for her professionalism and her commitment to finding links to the past and the present.

Il viaggio nella Valle del Belice è stato organizzato nel minimo dettaglio ed ha permesso a me e al mio gruppo di amici di vivere in serenità la riscoperta della cultura siciliana antica e del buon cibo. Dal lavoro del corallo al giro in bici alla scoperta di borghi meravigliosi non è mancato nulla.
