Palermo with Monreale, Segesta & Erice, Sciacca & Agrigento, Noto with Modica, Ragusa & Syracuse, Taormina & Mount Etna
This private luxury tour is perfect for families who want to experience the best active and cultural touring in Sicily, plus time to enjoy the island's acclaimed luxury resorts.
Begin with comprehensive private touring in Palermo. The vibrant capital of Sicily, Palermo is home to some of Italy's most fascinating cultural gems including impressive private museums, the country's largest opera house and a robust food culture. During private touring, explore lively local markets, the old Arab quarter and unique UNESCO-listed Arab-Norman architecture. Also, take a private excursion to Monreale for a private tour of the stunning cathedral, a masterpiece of Arab, Norman and Byzantine art.
Next, tour the highlights of northwestern Sicily. Visit Segesta to see the amphitheater and well-preserved Doric temple in a bucolic hillside setting. Also tour Erice, a medieval hilltop village that's filled with cobblestone streets, flowering vines and the aroma of almond pastries, a local specialty.
Continue to Sciacca, a luxurious resort destination on the Mediterranean. In Sciacca, visit the local village, known for its ceramics and coral studios, and enjoy the resort's extensive leisure facilities and excellent restaurants. One day, take a private excursion to a renowned winery to sample some of Sicily's best wines and unique varietals. Alternatively, enjoy time to golf, book spa appointments, go snorkeling or enjoy a private cooking class and learn to make traditional Sicilian specialties such as caponata (eggplant relish) and sfincione (thick, Sicilian-style pizza).
Next, tour ancient Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples, an outstanding collection of well-preserved Hellenistic ruins and early Christian sites that's one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Mediterranean.
Continue to the Baroque town of Noto to walk through atmospheric backstreets, tour UNESCO-listed architectural sites, and sample famous local gelato and pastries. One day, take a private four-wheel drive (4WD) tour of the rugged valley outside Ragusa and Ragusa Ibla. Also visit Modica, which has outstanding Baroque architecture and is famous for chocolate that's still made according to Aztec recipes brought from Mexico by the Spanish conquistadors.
Next, enjoy a private excursion to Syracuse, a powerful city in antiquity. An expert private guide will bring ancient Syracuse to life as you explore highlights such as the Greek theater, Roman amphitheater, the ancient cathedral, the cave known as the Ear of Dionysius, and the historic center of the island of Ortygia.
Continue to Taormina, a luxury resort town, and enjoy free time to explore the Greek theater and local boutiques, and take advantage of the extensive facilities at your luxury resort. One day, enjoy a private four-wheel drive (4WD) tour on Mount Etna, an active volcano whose fertile soil supports vineyards, orchards and farms. Tour some of the most interesting geothermal sites, and enjoy a lunch on Mount Etna. There will also be time to enjoy the extensive facilities at your luxury resort overlooking the Bay of Naxos. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities, such as a private boat charter, tickets to concerts in Taormina's ancient theater and additional day tours.
