About this trip
Ten days across Sicily, travelling by coach with a group and a guide, taking in the island's mix of Norman, Greek and Baroque history alongside its food.
You'll cover some serious ground, from Palermo's mosaic-covered chapels to the Greek temples on the coast, with half board meaning most dinners are sorted so you can get stuck into proper Sicilian cooking.
It's a straightforward, well-structured way to see the island's highlights without having to plan the logistics yourself.
What you'll do
- Visit the Cappella Palatina in Palermo
- See Monreale Cathedral's mosaics
- Explore the Greek temples of Selinunte
- Base yourself in Catania and Taormina
- Eat half board with local Sicilian dishes
- Coach-based tour, so you cover a lot of sites but spend real time on the road between them
- Half board covers most breakfasts and dinners, leaving lunches free
- Suits families and groups after a structured, guided look at Sicily's history rather than a slow-paced trip
Worth it if you value seamless logistics, knowledgeable guides, and covering ground fast. Think twice if you want deep dives into food/agriculture culture or budget tightly for hidden costs.
- Guides like Placido, Rita and Irene are genuinely exceptional—multilingual, attentive, managing 40-person groups and medical emergencies with real care.
- City tax charges per night aren't mentioned upfront; entrance fees to major sites are expensive and optional but feel essential.
- Hotel quality varies significantly—some are solid, but Il Principe was old, cramped, smelly and leaked; check specific names before booking.
- Tour heavily weighted toward history and sites; expect limited activities around agriculture, local music or hands-on food experiences.
