Title: Responsible, ethical, sustainable guide to Sicily
Review: The guide feels authentic, and I can tell that the writer is an expert on the destination.All the info and suggestions fit the way I like to travel: visiting unique, little, and rustic places. Lots of these recommendations align with my very own way of planning trips.I like it because it offers a local point of view on this amazing region, often overpopulated by tourists.I like the very first section where the writer literally guides you through your vacation planning time (from an American point of view). I find this to be very helpful. It reflects a customized service.Very easy to use: handy and practical.

Title: Awesome recommendations from a Sicilian local and food expert!
Review: Linda Sarris provides the best advice for visiting Sicily whether it's your first trip or you have been there five times before. As a local that lives in Palermo she understands the culture. As a chef, she knows her food and wine. I have used this book and her previous Southern Italy Moon guide to plan my trips to the best island in the world. I have visited Sicily many times, but Linda still has great ideas on places I have never been. She is current and knowledgable. Additionally I have toured markets with Linda which is another part of her business - this is a treat and something everyone should consider doing if visiting Palermo. I strongly recommend all of Linda's services to prepare for a fantastic trip!

Title: A fresh Sicilian guide book
Review: I traveled to Sicily last fall and had used the previous version of Moon's Sicily guide. The new book is packed with fresh updates, beautiful photos and written from the author Linda's incredible experience on the island. I've already highlighted new restaurants and hotels that I'm excited to try when I travel back to Sicily. It's a great size for keeping in your purse or backpack to take with you while you venture. The author's food recommendations are tip-top and something you won't want to overlook when you make your plans. Use this new guide for your Sicilian ventures!

Review: Love this book so far - it's fitting with the authors generous and informative nature. It's truly the only thing you need to plan out a thorough trip that dives deep into the best of food, culture, the arts etc - with tons of local secrets across each page. Feels like your best friend is helping you plan your trip. Must get.
