Find the Right Sicily Tour for You
Sicily is an island with an extraordinary amount to experience, and the right itinerary depends on what you want from your time there. Some tours concentrate on Sicily’s archaeological sites and historic towns, while others make more time for the coast, food and wine experiences, or the landscapes around Mount Etna.
For a first visit, a classic island itinerary is a wonderful introduction, combining places such as Palermo, Monreale, Agrigento, Ragusa, Noto, Syracuse and Taormina. If you have more time, longer journeys can take you further into the island or continue to the Aeolian Islands or Malta.
What to Expect from Our Sicily Tours
We’ve selected Sicily tours that show the island from different perspectives, with well-planned itineraries, strong local knowledge and time to appreciate the places you visit.
Depending on the tour you choose, you may experience:
- Small group touring through Sicily’s historic cities and towns
- Greek, Roman, Arab-Norman and baroque heritage across the island
- Mount Etna and Sicily’s remarkable volcanic landscapes
- Regional food, wine and local producer experiences
- Time in Palermo, Taormina and the beautiful towns of south-eastern Sicily
- Longer itineraries extending to the Aeolian Islands or Malta
Exact inclusions vary between tours, so check the individual itinerary for accommodation, meals, sightseeing, transport and other inclusions.
Plan Your Sicily Tour with Confidence
With so many different ways to explore Sicily, choosing between itineraries isn’t always straightforward. Tell us your travel dates, how long you have, the places you most want to see and the style of touring you prefer, and we’ll help narrow the options to the Sicily tours that best suit your trip.
If you’d like to explore beyond Sicily, consider a tour combining Sicily with the Aeolian Islands or Malta, or speak with us about adding time elsewhere in Italy before or after your tour.
FAQs
What types of tours are available in Sicily?
Our Sicily collection includes small group tours, private and tailored itineraries, cycling tours and longer journeys combining Sicily with destinations such as the Aeolian Islands or Malta. Some focus on the island’s major cultural and historic highlights, while others place more emphasis on food and wine, coastal landscapes or a particular part of Sicily.
How long are Sicily tours typically?
Many Sicily tours are around 7 to 12 days, although shorter and longer itineraries are also available. The right duration depends on how much of the island you want to explore and whether you want to include destinations such as the Aeolian Islands.
When is the best time to visit Sicily?
Spring and autumn are particularly popular times to tour Sicily, with warm weather that is generally well suited to sightseeing and exploring. Summer is also popular, particularly if you want to spend time around the coast. Tour dates and availability vary, so we recommend planning ahead if you have particular dates or an itinerary in mind.
Are Sicily tours suitable for first-time visitors to Italy?
Absolutely. Sicily offers an extraordinary combination of history, architecture, landscapes, food and wine, making it a rewarding destination in its own right. It can also be combined with time on mainland Italy if you’d like to experience more of the country in one journey.
What is included in a Sicily tour?
Inclusions vary between itineraries but may include accommodation, transport during the tour, guided sightseeing, entrance fees and selected meals, tastings or other experiences. Each tour page provides the specific inclusions for that itinerary.
How do I choose the right Sicily tour?
Start with how much time you have and the places or experiences that matter most to you. Consider how much of the island you want to cover, your preferred balance of guided sightseeing and free time, and whether experiences such as archaeology, food and wine, cycling, Mount Etna or the Aeolian Islands are priorities. If you’re unsure, talk to us and we’ll help you compare the options.
Can I customise a Sicily tour?
Yes. Alongside our scheduled tours, we can assist with private touring and personalised Sicily itineraries based on your travel dates, interests, preferred pace and group size. Speak with us about what you have in mind and we can help you explore the options.
