Majestic Sicily

Touch down in Palermo and meet your private driver who whisks you to your hotel. Drop your bags, take a deep breath — Sicilian vibes are already in the air. The rest of the day is yours: roam colourful streets, try a granita or gelato, or simply unwind and feel the pulse of this vibrant city.

Today, you explore Palermo’s rich, layered history. Meet your guide and start with the majestic Norman Palace and its dazzling golden-mosaicked Palatine Chapel — a true jewel of medieval Sicily.

Then stroll through the historic centre: pass by leafy Villa Bonanno, admire the exterior of the city cathedral, and wander through streets where Arab, Norman, and Mediterranean cultures meet. See the “Four Corners,” enjoy the turquoise splash of the Tuscan Fountain in Piazza Pretoria, and discover two unique Arabo-Norman churches: La Martorana and San Cataldo.

After the tour, you’ll have free time to soak in Palermo’s atmosphere — maybe grab a street-food bite, wander local markets, or simply wander and discover.

Today is yours to enjoy Palermo at your own pace. Wander through its lively streets, discover hidden gems, or relax and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this historic city.

If you prefer a little more structure, we’ve prepared a selection of optional tours for you to dive deeper into the beauty of Palermo and its surroundings. Whether you choose to explore more or simply unwind, today is all about you!

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and meet your private driver, who will continue your journey toward the charming coastal town of Cefalu.

Upon arrival in Cefalu, meet your guide for a walking tour through this colorful fishing village. Wander past brightly-hued boats and narrow twisting streets, and take in the beauty of Cefalu’s Norman Cathedral, built by King Roger II in the 12th century as a vow to God after being spared during a storm at sea.

Next, head into the Madonie Mountains to Relais Sant’Anastasia, a stunning hotel nestled in a medieval Benedictine abbey dating back to the 12th century. Here, indulge in an organic wine tasting, savoring the rich flavours of locally produced wines. Afterward, spend the night in this serene, historic setting.

Wine tasting included.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and meet your private driver for the scenic journey to Agrigento, a city steeped in ancient history.

Upon arrival in Agrigento, check in to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Take some time to relax, explore the surroundings, or soak in the local atmosphere.

In the evening, join a cooking class where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes. Afterward, indulge in a delicious dinner, enjoying the fruits of your culinary efforts in a warm, welcoming setting.

Today is a highlight of your Sicilian adventure. Begin with a guided tour of the Valley of the Temples, a stunning UNESCO site renowned for its exceptionally preserved Greek temples, including the Temple of Concordia and the Temple of Juno. Walk among massive columns and ancient ruins that tell the story of Agrigentum’s glorious past.

In the afternoon, head to the striking white cliffs of Scala dei Turchi. These natural limestone “steps” overlooking turquoise waters create one of the most dramatic coastal views in Sicily. Enjoy time to admire the scenery before returning to your hotel for a free evening.

After breakfast at your hotel, check out and meet your private driver to continue your journey toward the ancient city of Syracuse.

Upon arrival, check in at your hotel and meet your guide to begin a fascinating city tour.

Begin your day in the legendary Neapolis Archaeological Park, one of the world’s most important ancient sites. Explore the still-active Greek Theatre, marvel at the acoustics inside the Ear of Dionysius, and walk through the impressive Roman Amphitheater. Each corner of the park reveals a new chapter of Syracuse’s powerful past.

Continue to the enchanting island of Ortygia, the heart of the historic city. Here you enjoy an inside visit to the stunning Duomo, where the remains of an ancient Greek Doric temple are still part of the cathedral’s structure — one of the many reasons it proudly stands on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

After the tour, return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps wander Ortygia’s charming streets, relax by the water, or settle in for a Sicilian-style aperitivo.

After breakfast at your hotel, enjoy a full day of leisure to explore at your own pace. Wander through charming streets, relax in a local café, or discover hidden gems.

After breakfast, check out of your hotel in Syracuse and set off toward one of Sicily’s most celebrated destinations — Taormina.

Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Take a relaxing stroll through cobbled streets, breathe in the sea air, or simply settle into the town’s elegant, hilltop atmosphere. Taormina’s charm is yours to enjoy from the very first moment.

Meet your local guide for a walking tour of Taormina’s highlights. Stroll along Corso Umberto, discover lively squares and hidden corners, and learn about the town’s rich heritage.

The star of today’s tour is the ancient Greek Theatre. Perched high above the coastline, it offers spectacular views of the sea and Mount Etna — a perfect blend of history and natural beauty. The rest of the afternoon is free to enjoy Taormina your way: relax on the beach, shop for local crafts, or savour Sicilian cuisine with a view.
