Well organized tour covering various aspects of Sicilian treasures, including history, archeology, architecture, urbane and village sites and nature parks. Our leader tried his best to “navigate “us in our free time. But I think additional envolvement of the local guides would benefit our exploration of the area more complete.
Taormina sunset and landscape.
Tiziano is entertaining, enthusiastic and sharing his knowledge and love for Sicily. He used every chance to introduce us Sicilian traditions and especially food. Also he is accommodating to all needs of the group travellers.
Do your homework in advance before the trip to ask the right questions and remember the places you visit.
It was a fantastic introduction to Sicily and we covered a lot of the island focusing on history, art, and architecture. Sicily is truly filled with gems.
Loved the quaintness of the smaller towns. Each having its own personality. Noto, Cefalu, and Ragusa standout.
Mauritzio was wonderful. Focused on everyone and ensured to the last person left that every detail was addressed.
Take a couple days before and after to soak it all up.
This trip was a thoroughly enjoyable experience in all respects. It has a well thought-out and interesting itinerary, good hotels and seamless travel arrangements. The tour gives sufficient time to explore many of Sicily’s architectural and cultural wonders, as well as spending several hours on Mt Etna and walking in the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Our guide Francesco was outstanding – very friendly, informative and helpful. At some of the sites we had local guides who were also very good. Our enjoyment of the trip was greatly enhanced by our fellow travellers who gelled extremely well as a group and were excellent company throughout the trip.
Impossible to choose any particular highlight – every single day brought interesting new sights and enjoyable experiences.
Francesco was very well-organised and extremely knowledgeable about the history, geography and culture of Sicily. We thought he was brilliant!
Take good walking shoes, especially for the Zingaro coastal walk, which was quite rocky and steep in places. As the beaches are stony there, I would recommend taking along a pair of flip-flops or jelly shoes if you’re planning on swimming.
Thanks to our very well organised leader Laura, we managed a complete tour of the island in a week. Greek, Roman and Norman sites told the rich history of Sicily. The trip to Mont Etna and the walk in the national park covered the beauty of the island. Our group was made up of lovely people which added to the fun
The Greek and Roman temples and the magnificent cathedral in Montreale with Fabio our great guide were the highlights for me but Palermo was very interesting also
Laura was new to Exodus but certainly deserves her place in the team. She was well organised, knowledgeable, adaptable to weather conditions and above all so friendly and fun. Must mention Mario and Luigi our bus drivers, so friendly and helpful, specially Mario who covered most of the trip
If you go in April take layers and waterproof jacket as the weather is changeable. Good trainers for Mont Etna are also recommended
What a wonderful week offering a great overview of Sicily, its culture, history and people, not to mention food and pastries! We packed so much into the week, always something new and unexpected, each day having its particular wow factor.
Trekking the Zingaro coastal path. Breathtaking views of the mountains and the deep, deep blue sea. Indescribably beautiful, although the rocky path proved a little challenging for some.
Alessio could have been added to the list of the treasures we encountered. Always helpful, always warm and friendly, always professional, humorous and knowledgeable. Couldn't wish for anything more.
April was the perfect time to visit, pleasantly warm, but not too hot although sun protection is needed. Some of the high places (e.g. Etna, Erice) can be chilly and windy, so warm layers, scarves and hats are recommended.
This is a 5-star tour! I selected the Treasures of Sicily trip because I want to visit different regions of Italy. I had no idea how much I would learn about the Sicily invaders (our guide called them “visitors”) or their contributions to the culture. In seven days, our group traveled around the entire border of Sicily. We saw a minimum of two attractions per day, including Mt. Etna volcano, Ancient Greek and Roman ruins, beautiful small towns, National Park, and the bustling capital. You spend a lot of time on the bus (typically 2 to 3 hours a day) in transit but this enables you to see so much in one week. I wouldn’t want to give up even one attraction. Our guide Tiziano was superb. This young man knows so much about the history and culture. He made every day so much fun!
I was most swept away by the Ancient Greek temples as well as the Greek Amphitheatre in Sicily. They were in wonderful condition despite their antiquity and I marveled at how the Greeks built such edifices.
Words cannot adequately describe our group leader Tiziano—smart, funny, engaging, emphatic, energetic, and caring. He was the cheerleader from daybreak to sunset on our journey around Sicily. He was always making us laugh. I would love to take smother tour with Tiz in the future! I wish I booked the 14-day Grand Tour to spend more time with Tiz.
Don’t pack a big suitcase. You have to drag it a big distance in old town Palermo. Don’t pack a lot of clothes to go out a night. It is casual in Sicily. You want 1 or 2 nice outfits. Pack warm clothes for hiking Mt. Etna. It gets cold on the mountain. Leave some space in your suitcase to bring home treasures, such as the superb Silican wines. Wear good walking shoes. Bring hiking boots for the volcano hike.
Well organised and led by the guide Francesca and the 2 drivers Mario and Graziano. Lots of amazing scenery and history.
Temples at Seracruse
Superb!
Even at end of September was very hot so be prepared.
A fast paced, very full itinerary, covering some truly amazing places. Great group, made up of caring, fun, interesting and interested folks from a whole range of backgrounds. Highlights were the Etna Volcano visit by cablecar and Greek Temples at Selinunte. The tour does not include the mosaics of Villa Romano or the Aeolian Islands, both of which I still want to see….so look out Sicily, I’ll be returning!
Hard to name just one...Seeing the remnants of the recent eruption on Etna....smoke rising from the summit. Or sitting on the steps of a church in centre of Syracuse eating the best Arancini with a cold local beer. The beautiful wildflowers at Selinunte Temples. Thr fun the group had at Tiziano's birthday celebration at the Agriturismo rural hotel. The awesome gold interior of Monreale Cathedral. Walking into the 'Church of the Holy Water' in Palermo and the organist belting out Bohemian Rhapsody. Or perhaps swimming in the stunning turquoise sea on the return from the Zingaro Nature Reserve walk.
Tiziano was fabulous. Very well organised, and really good at getting us to coordinate, arriving and leaving on time being important on such a packed tour. His knowledge of the sights, culture and (obsession!) with the food of his country were inspirational! He had a very caring nature and went out of his way to ensure we were all well informed, looked after and having fun at every step of the way!
Try and pack lighter as you are moving hotels most nights and sometimes the bus isn't able to park outside the hotel
The tour explores around beautiful Sicily’s historical towns and cities. Sicily has so much to bring to the table from local foods, history, culture and scenery and more. Look forward to visiting again!
Tiziano was a brilliant host to Sicily, he was passionate, energetic and organised - giving us restaurant recommendations and local foods to try in each area we stopped at. In addition, he was super knowledgeable about the history of the island and also arranged for additional stop offs during the trip so we could see more places of interest. The local guides where also very knowledgeable during the city tour and archeological sites.
I joined this fully booked trip as a Solo.What a fantastic experience! Full of really interesting places & sights, with a very well thought out programme, not too fast yet we got to see SO much! I can’t choose a favourite experience or sight..they were all so good. Our group gelled extremely well & that really added to the enjoyment. Hotels very comfortable too. I have to give a huge shout out to Guide Alessandro who is without doubt the best Guide I’ve ever come across on my trips. Our driver Graziano & the local Guides were excellent too. If you haven’t yet been to Sicily & you enjoy culture then you cant miss this trip, I’m thinking of repeating,😊
Too many to choose..from the medieval villages through to Temples & the breathtaking Monreal Cathedral...stunning,
Outstanding
Pack layers & try to travel light.
