About this trip
Sicily's history runs deep, shaped over centuries by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and Spanish rulers, and this trip takes you through the layers of it at an easy, fully guided pace by coach.
You'll cover the island's big-name sites, from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna to the World Heritage towns of Syracuse, Agrigento and Selinunte, with a hike in Zingaro National Reserve thrown in for coastal views rather than just ruins.
What you'll do
- Visit the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna
- Explore the World Heritage town of Syracuse
- See the ancient sites of Agrigento
- Wander the ruins of Selinunte
- Hike in Zingaro National Reserve for coastal views
- Easy pace, fully guided by coach, suited to those who'd rather sightsee than self-navigate
- Mix of history, ruins and one hike, so a reasonable level of walking is involved
Worth it if you want comprehensive Sicilian coverage with strong local guides and included activities. Think twice if you need hotels within walking distance or prefer leisurely pacing.
- Guides like Rosanna, Ornella, and Maria were exceptional: knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely invested in group experience.
- No hidden activity costs—everything included except meals. Guide-arranged dinners at local restaurants were well-priced and built group rapport.
- Nine days covers a lot of ground quickly; reviewers wanted more time at most sites, particularly Mount Etna beyond base camp.
- Hotels often located away from town centres with no easy walking access; some had management issues and were genuinely three-star despite marketing.
