"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

"I've traveled to Europe several times before but not like this. Thanks to Kelley and her amazing knowledge and patience with all my queries, my famiy and I enjoyed a customized itinerary filled with a food tour in Paris and a cooking lesson in Naples, history and art lessons at the British Museum and Musee D'Orsay, with enough time to travel independently and make new discoveries with less hassle than before. I absolutely recommend the Relaxed Explorer to anyone looking to make memorable trips with their families that will be cherished by all. Thank you so much Kelley!! Would love to make more good travel memories with your help!!"

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"I have been trying to make the best of this trip, but honestly, I’m having a terrible time. This has been the most stressed I’ve ever been on a vacation. I’m currently stuck in Iceland, no one from the EF team will not respond to me, I’m out a LOT of money, I’m FREEZING, and I’m severely uncomfortable. I would HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND EF Ultimate Break for any of your travel needs. They do NOT take care of your problems— they just make the most money they can off of you and do not actually care about your comfort or concerns. This trip has sent me on an incredibly LOW low, and I just want to go home, but that would be a substantial amount of money I can’t afford. I have been bouncing around contacting EF, JetBlue, Icelandair, and British Airways. I still don’t have my luggage, and it is the LAST DAY of planned activities already. I also found out from JetBlue that there was a refund issued for $834 for the original flight we didn’t make (that’s just one of them)— yet, *I had to pay $1100 to EF Ultimate Break to rebook on my new itinerary that made me miss my first day of touring, and I DID NOT see that $834. I am beyond mad and tired and ready to be home safe. This is disgusting service."

What travelers are saying

"It was a leap of faith for us to use Zicasso, a service that connected us to Top Travel Italy, and to book a trip with a travel agent because we've always planned our own vacations in the past. It turned out great! Their model works. Zicasso recommended two agencies in Italy, our destination country, and we chose Top Travel Italy based on their responsiveness. What fun to create a customized itinerary based on their recommendations -- we told them how many days we could travel, what our budget was, and roughly what we wanted to do. They came back with a first draft and we tweaked it from there. Everything worked smoothly while we were in Italy -- we had good hotels and great tour guides, but I think the highlight for me was the private drivers! Driving in Cinque Terre, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast would have been stressful and it was wonderful to leave that to the professionals. And always, Top Travel was a phone call or an email away if we needed them."

"My first trip to Italy was beyond my expectations. Alessio (Alma Italia Travel) is knowledgeable, accommodating, and his love for his country is apparent in how he guides guests through each exquisite destination. Alessio thoughtfully coordinates and plans out each day and is respectful of the guests requests for adjustments to the agenda or rest time to truly take in the beauty of Italy. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't long to return to Italy and breathe in that Tuscan air, sip on the rich olive oils and bright wines, and watch the sun rise and fall through the hills. I highly recommend booking your trip of a lifetime with Alma Italia. You'll be gifted a true authentic experience!"

"This tour was one of our favorites. The tour leaders (Claudio and Tiziana) were great. The Dolomites and Italian Alps were breathtaking and the bike paths and towns were well chosen to give us a great appreciation of this Alpine countryside. Once out of Venice you really feel like you are in the country with beautiful mountains, alpine chalets and in some areas mostly German speaking residents. The biking was mostly flat with some crazy fun downhill rides. Almost all of the cycling was on bike paths, so very safe and quiet riding. As expected, VBT delivered a great tour with very good accommodations, good food and a really great group of travellers."

Sicily Tour Selection Trips

  • Sicily has a number of uneven pavements to walk on, steep stairways to climb and rough bouncy roads to drive over. This may not be the best trip if you have trouble walking or suffer from a bad back or neck.
  • Sicilian meals are bountiful and then some. Know from the start that you will be served large amounts and several courses, so pace yourself.
  • Sicilian cuisine is varied and outstanding. Consider enhancing your gastronomic experience by at least sampling some foods you might not eat at home.
  • While Sicily's weather is normally sunny and mild, it can get a bit chilly at higher altitudes, so taking layers of clothing is recommended.  
  • When you have free time in a city or town, get away from the main streets and more touristy areas. The back streets and hidden neighborhoods are much less crowded, charming and quite safe.

Additional details

Sicily is where some of the greatest cultures of the Mediterranean Sea converged. The island was once the center of the ancient world that saw traders and influences from the Ottoman Empire, Africa, and Greece.

This cultural melting pot and the distinct way of life of Sicily makes this island one of Italy’s most culturally and diverse regions.

Where is Sicily

Sicily is an island located right off the tip of the boot of Southern Italy and is one of the self-governing regions of Italy. Sicily is separated from the mainland by the Strait of Messina that connects the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas.

Travelers to Sicily can reach the island by either ferry or plane. The two main airports for the island are in Palermo and Catania. If you are coming from the Italian mainland, you can take a ferry from the region of Calabria at the tip of the Italian boot or take a longer ferry ride from Naples or Genoa.

Top Things to See in Sicily

Sicily has a history stretching back thousands of years with influences from all over the world. All of these important cultural impacts have created some of the most interesting cities and sites in Italy. Also, Sicily has a very unique landscape that has made it a top destination for visitors to Italy for years.

1. PalermoOne of the starting points for tours of Sicily, Palermo is a true representation of the historical roadmap of Sicily. Sicily is home to stunning Arabic architecture, Byzantine churches, and traditional Sicilian food such as arancini and caponata.  

2. Mount EtnaOne of Sicily’s main attractions, Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano just north of Catania. Visitors can hike the trails of the surrounding park or visit the active craters scattered across the volcano.

3. Valley of TemplesThe Valley of the Temples is a history lover’s dream and a top destination included in Sicily guided tours. The Valley of the Temples is an archaeological park in the city of Agrigento where 3,000 years of human occupation can be seen in the Greek temples, buildings, and theatres of the site.

4. OrtigiaOrtigia may be small, but it is mighty. Ortigia is the old town of Syracuse on the southern end of Sicily. Travelers will enjoy the tiny cobblestone streets, independent shops, and plazas that transport you to Sicily’s medieval and Greek past.

5. VineyardsSicily is one of Italy’s most famous wine regions. Covering over 300,000 acres of the island, these vineyards provide some of the best dessert wine in the world. Visitors to the island can take guided wine tours of the many vineyards around Palermo, Catania, and Mount Etna.

Common Sicily Tour Routes

Most guided tours of Sicily start and end in Catania or Palermo. These two main cities sit on opposite sides of the island and are both culturally important to understanding the Sicilian way of life. Both of these cities are also the best base points for day trips around the island. 

Sicily tours typically last between 8-15 days. Most tour itineraries include the major destinations of Mount Etna, Taormina, Syracuse, and the Valley of the Temples. The tour routes typically follow a semi-circle or full circle route of the island, visiting cities and regions along the coast. 

Sicily is occasionally included in broader Italy tours in Southern Italy. Many of these tour itineraries include stops on the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Naples, and Capri.

Who Will Enjoy Touring Sicily

Sicily is a prime destination for those wishing to learn about a storied culture while touring spectacular landscapes. History lovers will enjoy the multicultural cities of Palermo and Syracuse and the influential Valley of the Temples.

Additionally, outdoor enthusiasts will love the distinct terrain of Sicily. With towering mountains and long, stretching beaches, Sicily is one of the best places for travelers to experience Sicilian history through nature.

If you are looking for a food and wine experience, you will not be disappointed in Sicily. With such a strong food identity and wine culture, foodies will enjoy the food and wine tours that are offered in most Sicilian tour itineraries.

Sicily is also a destination for those looking to see another side of Italy. Since Sicily didn’t become part of the Italian kingdom until the 1860s, Sicily has retained a very distinct identity compared to other parts of Italy.
