About this trip

Eleven days through Italy's south, taking in Sicily's Greco-Roman ruins, the Amalfi Coast, and the island of Capri. It's a full guided tour with private rooms, built around an easy pace and enough free time to explore places like Taormina at your own speed.

You'll move between distinct landscapes and food traditions — from Sicily's ancient sites to the coastal roads of the mainland south — with a small group and a guide handling the logistics.

What you'll do

  • Explore Greco-Roman ruins in Sicily
  • Free time to wander Taormina
  • Drive the Amalfi Coast
  • Visit Capri, including the Blue Grotto when conditions allow
  • Take in World Heritage sites across southern Italy
  • Sample regional food along the route
Good to know
  • Easy-paced, guided throughout — suited to travelling with family
  • Blue Grotto access in Capri isn't guaranteed in high season or bad weather; guides offer alternatives such as the Faraglioni rocks
  • Lost or damaged audio headsets are charged at €55 per device
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want curated history, brilliant guides, and genuine group bonds. Think twice if hotel standards and meal consistency matter to you.

  • Guides consistently praised for knowledge, warmth, and personality; Isa and Matteo singled out as exceptional.
  • Small group size allows real friendships with travellers and guides; excellent balance of structured time and leisure.
  • Hotel quality wildly inconsistent: Palermo standout, others run-down and needing renovation; meal portions and choice vary drastically.
  • High season crowds noticeably frustrating; room requests sometimes mishandled initially, though customer support resolves issues.
