Travel agent for Sicily
 
Any recommendation on London-based or Italy-based travel agents which sells packages on Sicily and Amalfi area on-line?

Bellini Travel in London have a good reputation. I'm not sure if you can book online as I think they tend to tailor-make most packages. Another company you might want to consdider is Citalia, although they are a tour operator not a travel agent. www.citalia.co.uk.

If you want cheap family type holidays to Sicily then perhaps My Travel or First Choice would be other tour operators to consider.

Had used CIT North America,many years back on our first trip to Sicily, ran about 6-7 days with overnites starting in Palermo, Agrigento, Siracusa, Taormina and returning to Palermo or as
we did depart from Catania.Used the Jolly Hotel chain thruout. Was satisified with the tour, personnel and hotels, food and etc.

Thanks for the advice. It took me ages to locate the responses to my post. Couldn't believe there are over 250 new threads posted per day!

I haven't made it clear in my post that I am not based in US. I live in HK and it's far cheaper and flexible (in terms of planning itinerary) for me to fly to London and then take a charter flight to Italy instead of to Italy direct. That's why I search for either London-based or Italy-based travel agents.

I'll need a bit of time to browse through the websites given here but let me thank you all here in the meantime still.

Any more information would definitely welcome. I have only been to Italy (major cities like Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Pisa) once over ten years ago and Italy seems so much fun that I don't know where to start!

Ap6380, thanks for your advice. I figured it out after all the effort. But of course, it has given me much pleasure reading the various messages posted here.
