Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests)

Catania → Palermo 8 days Up to 8

About this trip

This is an 8-day small group trip around Sicily, capped at 8 guests, built around the island's history, food and everyday rhythm rather than a checklist of sights.

You'll take in well-known monuments alongside quieter corners of the towns you visit, with a licensed guide alongside you throughout to give context on Sicily's UNESCO-listed heritage and traditions.

Five Sicilian meals are included across different locations, alongside wine, art and music experiences meant to give you a feel for local life rather than just a tour through it.

What you'll do

  • Guided visits to Sicily's UNESCO-listed towns and monuments
  • Explore lesser-known corners alongside the famous landmarks
  • Five included meals showcasing regional Sicilian cooking
  • Wine tasting as part of the food and culture programme
  • Local art and music woven into the itinerary
  • Small group of up to 8 guests with a licensed guide throughout
Good to know
  • Small group size (max 8) suits those who prefer a more personal pace over a coach-tour feel
  • Five meals are included, so some lunches or dinners are left free for you to choose your own spot
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you love food, wine, and local expertise in small groups. Think twice if you need all-inclusive pricing or extensive free time.

  • Local guides excelled at explaining Sicilian history, culture, food and wine with genuine knowledge and charm.
  • Hotels were well-located within walking distance of town centres; breakfasts and included meals were genuinely outstanding.
  • Eight days feels tight; reviewers stayed extra nights for Monreale and Cefalù, paying over £600 more for just two additional days.
  • Group chemistry matters here; your experience improves significantly if fellow travellers share interest in food and wine.
