We opted for our own excursions and were not disappointed. Palermo is a lovely town with lots of history. We enjoyed our visits to the cathedrals and the old as well as new Palermo.
We had contracted our own tour guide and so many fascinating cities in the northern and eastern part of Israel. Visit the Galilee, see the olive and grape fields. Visit Bahia Gardens in Haifa. Go to the grotto on the Lebanese border.
