About this trip
This eight-day tour starts in Catania and takes you across Sicily's mix of ancient and baroque, from Greek and Roman ruins to UNESCO-listed towns built in the island's distinctive baroque style.
Expect a good dose of art and architecture alongside proper Sicilian food, with panoramic stops along the way. It's fully guided and coach-based, so the driving and logistics are handled for you.
You'll stay in centrally located 4-star hotels throughout, and departures run every Saturday from March to November with no minimum group size, so it goes ahead whether it's just you or a fuller group.
What you'll do
- Visit ancient Greek and Roman archaeological sites
- Explore Sicily's baroque towns, several of them UNESCO World Heritage Sites
- Take in panoramic views across the island
- See notable works of art and architecture along the route
- Try local Sicilian dishes and culinary specialities

- In April, May, June, September and October 2024 the tour runs in English only rather than multiple languages
Worth it if you want hassle-free logistics and major sights covered fast with knowledgeable guides. Think twice if you need breathing room, dietary flexibility, or top-tier accommodation.
- Outstanding local guides like Lorenzo, Antonella, and Alessio bring real depth to historical sites and manage large groups with patience.
- Professional logistics throughout: smooth airport transfers, confident driving on winding roads, zero motion sickness despite tight schedules.
- Group sizes of 39–49 create rushed site visits with minimal photo time and guides speaking too fast to hear from distance.
- Included meals often poor quality—frozen fish, underseasoned pasta—and hotels fall short of 4-star standards; hard beds, stained showers, unreliable AC.
