Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily & Malta

About this trip

An 11-day coach tour across Sicily and Malta, covering the main cities, UNESCO heritage sites and a good stretch of local food and wine along the way.

You're based in 4-star hotels in city centres throughout, with days built around guided excursions into the history, art and traditions of each place, plus tastings of Sicilian street food and typical menus.

The Malta leg takes you to Mdina's old streets and the capital Valletta, with boat excursions out to Comino, the Blue Lagoon, Gozo and Malta's caves.

What travellers actually say

Worth it if you're fit, flexible, and prioritise Sicily's culture and guides over comfort. Think twice if you need reliable hotel standards, accessibility support, or peace and quiet.

  • Sicilian guides Placido and Alessio deliver genuine expertise and thoughtful care, even for guests with mobility challenges.
  • Malta hotel accommodation is consistently poor: noisy, understaffed, unprofessional, in unsafe neighbourhoods with construction noise at 6:45am.
  • Group experience undermined by large sizes, rushed itineraries with skipped sites, long unannounced waits in heat, and guide communication failures.
  • Food quality uneven across the tour; some meals notably substandard or genuinely inedible, mostly lunches.
