About this trip
Seven days across Sicily, moving between the island's big historical set pieces and its food and wine, with breakfast included daily and dinners in local restaurants along the way.
You start in Palermo, taking in its architecture and the Norman mosaics at Monreale, then head south and east through Agrigento's ancient ruins, the Baroque towns of the south-east, and Mount Etna, before finishing in Taormina.
It's a coach-based sightseeing trip, so most days involve a mix of travel time and guided visits rather than free time to explore on your own.
What you'll do
- Explore Palermo's historic centre
- See the Norman mosaics at Monreale Cathedral
- Tour a Sicilian winery with tastings
- Walk among the Greek ruins at the Valley of Temples in Agrigento
- Wander the Baroque streets of Ragusa Ibla and Noto
- Visit Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano
- Coach-based itinerary with a set route across the island, so pace is steady rather than laid-back
- Dinners are included at local restaurants, giving a fixed structure to evenings
- Suits those who want a broad overview of Sicily's history and towns rather than deep time in any one place
Worth it if you want diverse Sicilian highlights with strong guides and decent hotels. Think twice if you need unhurried pacing, English-only tours, or guaranteed Mt Etna access.
- Tour guides (Salvo, Chetty, Cette) consistently praised as knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in the experience.
- Bilingual tours waste significant time with double translations, causing rushed pacing and group friction between language groups.
- Mt Etna tour cancelled due to heat; guests paid extra 50 euros and duplicate entrance fees despite tour inclusion.
- Only six functional days despite seven-day claim; bus lacks wifi and bathroom, necessitating advance bathroom planning.
