Discover Matera and Taste of Salento
SOLETO TRAVEL First of all Omar at Soleto Travel was great from my first inquiry to the last day of the trip He returned emails promptly answered questions clearly made suggestions and generally made the whole experience very easy I highly recommend Soleto travel and would not hesitate to book any of their tours The trip I took was Discover Matera and a Taste of Salento I was a solo female traveler on this tour and just took a leap of faith - it was well worth it TASTE OF SALENTO Pretend that someone told you that you had long lost relatives who owned an olive oil farm in Salento and wanted you to come visit for six days That is exactly what this felt like From the moment Antonio the father picked me up at the train station to the moment Emilio dropped me off in Matera I could not have been treated more warmly This did not feel like a tour it felt like a stay Don t get caught up in the printed itinerary and stated activities Emilio adjusts the schedule based on the season the weather and other circumstances You might not get every single thing listed but you will get a lot more that are not Emilio fixes a light breakfast every morning and explains where we re going and what we re doing that day Because this experience is capped at four people we had two Emilio drives you in the family car to all the cool places many that would be inaccessible by a tour bus You walk around while he explains the history of the place or his experiences there You set the pace the other woman in my tour had hurt her foot and couldn t walk very fast - no problem We were still able to see everything And you get free time to walk around grab a bite shop or just sit and appreciate the experience The highlight of every day was dinner Emilio is a fabulous chef and prides himself on cooking fresh organic local food paired with local wine all served with his family s organic olive oil of course His passion is evident and every meal was excellent Two of the days we had Carlo as a guide who was fun and knowledgeable One day Emilio s wife Clara took us wine tasting and sightseeing And of course Antonio who was a character popped by to say hi and stir up trouble I could go on and on but I will stop and just say this If you want a 4-star hotel with a farm theme in a big city this is not for you This is an actual farm in a very small town with very comfortable accommodations run by a sweet and generous couple plus four kids and a dog who want nothing more than for you to learn about experience and hopefully appreciate the land they love No tour buses no guides with hankies tied to poles no one-size-fits-all restaurants or cookie-cutter tours Live like a local with locals for a one-of-a-kind experience I highly recommend it DISCOVER MATERA I knew nothing about Matera so I was excited to arrive and see this beautiful city The only thing I would mention is the whole city is practically stairs including up to the room so it might be a difficult city for some people with mobility issues so keep that in mind when booking That said it is such a beautiful and unique city and I loved just wandering around and getting lost in all the little streets and passages The accommodations were fabulous and so unique a room built into a cave My guide was Cosimo who took me one day on a city tour and the next on a tour of Murgia Materana the park across the ravine He was so knowledgable friendly and patient with all my questions Even though I was the only one our tour went beyond the allotted time and he did not complain or try to rush me I also got a private food and wine tasting with Lucca who was also wonderful knowledgeable and generous The place I stayed had a restaurant but because I was the only one there I would have my breakfast on site and then they would book dinner for me at a nice local restaurant I loved Matera and wish I had a couple more days there All in all this was the perfect vacation The people were wonderful the food and wine delicious the history fascinating the scenery breathtaking and the experience unique I highly recommend this tour and Soleto Travel to anyone

Great Experience
Back in February while the skies were cold and dark in New Jersey my wife and I had decided that we needed to take a well-deserved vacation to Sicily in May so we looked online for some reputable tour operators After finding several over-priced operators my wife researched and found SoletoTravel The company had GREAT reviews so we reached out and were in touch with Omar almost immediately It was easy to communicate with him on WhatsApp and he was extremely responsive and was always able to answer our questions within a short period of time After reviewing the many tour options on the Soleto website we realized that we were looking for something a bit more customized Omar offered that they specialize in making custom tours and put together an itinerary based on our travel dates and preferred destinations In addition to 9 days in Sicily we also added 3 days in Malta to our tour Everything was fantastic - from the sites we saw to the hotels to the restaurants that were included in the tour to the personal drivers Salvatore and Angelo who drove us around the island They were professional friendly and always on time The drivers in Malta were equally outstanding including Jonathan owner of AJ Transfer and his driver Alex We got to see everything that we were planning to see and the entire trip went very smoothly While we did not have a personal tour guide in Sicily as most of the sites were self-guiding tours or tour guides were provided by the sites we did have a personal tour guide in Malta His name was Dennis and he was a Maltese rock star in that he really knew the history of this unique island nation and all the locations that we visited You could tell that he loved what he did and was enthusiastic about sharing his country s history with others I would highly recommend Dennis as tour guide if you plan to go to Malta Everyone who was part of our trip was simply outstanding In summary SoletoTravel and Omar were fantastic and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Sicily and or Malta

Valletta half day tour
I booked a half day tour with Soleto tours for our time in Valletta Our guide Dennis arrived promptly and was open to any suggestions we had on where to visit We had tickets booked for the Hypogeum and so the tour was timed to fit in with our tickets Dennis was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot The driver moved around to accommodate our needs and the mini bus was cool and comfortable I can highly recommend the services of Soleto travel and will not hesitate to use them again
