Sicily
Small group tours and private bookings across Sicily's coasts, history and Mount Etna
Compare small-group Sicily tours covering Palermo, Taormina, Mount Etna, Agrigento and the Aeolian Islands. 2026/27 departures.
Sicily’s tour catalogue is genuinely deep, and it splits along a few clear lines worth knowing before you compare: island-only circuits (Fantastic Sicily, Fantastic Siciliana, Sicily Carousel), private/tailored routes (Discovering Sicily’s Roots, Sicily – Palermo to Catania), an Aeolian Islands extension (Catania & the Aeolian Islands), a cycling option (Sicily Bike Tour), and combination trips that pair Sicily with Malta or the wider south (Best of Sicily & Malta, Sicily Carousel and Aeolian Islands).
Most small-group departures run 7–8 days from Palermo or Catania and follow a similar arc — Norman Monreale, baroque Noto/Ragusa or Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, Mount Etna, and a finish in Taormina — with wine tastings and Marsala or Etna wine stops built in. Prices for the core small-group circuits sit mostly in the $3,199–$3,699 AUD band; private and longer touring-council itineraries (10–12 days, adding the Aeolian Islands) run $5,000–$13,600.
