This private luxury tour of Sicily is perfect for families who want to experience the best family-friendly and cultural touring in Sicily, plus time to enjoy the island's acclaimed luxury resorts.

Begin in Palermo, the vibrant capital of Sicily. During private touring, explore the city’s cultural and culinary highlights, including lively food markets, favorite Sicilian specialty shops, private museums, and UNESCO sites such as the Norman Palace and Cappella Palatina.

Transfer through the Sicilian countryside, stopping to visit the well-preserved ancient theater and Doric temple of Segesta. Also visit Erice, a hilltop medieval village filled with cobblestone streets, flowering vines and the aroma of almond pastries, a local specialty. Enjoy a pastry-making lesson to learn to prepare favorite Sicilian sweets. Continue to Verdura Resort, one of Sicily’s top luxury resorts, which is in a beautiful seaside location in the countryside. During ample leisure time, enjoy the resort’s large spa, excellent restaurants, wide range of facilities and great sea views. If desired, visit ceramics and coral studios in the nearby town of Sciacca, take a private excursion to a renowned local winery to sample top Sicilian wines, and venture to a nearby hill town for breathtaking views over the region.

One day, enjoy a private excursion to Agrigento to tour the Valley of the Temples, an outstanding archaeological site of well-preserved ancient Greek ruins that has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. If desired, participate in a kid-friendly activity with a local archaeologist. Also enjoy a picnic lunch in a scenic spot among olive and citrus groves inside the archaeological zone. Another day, enjoy a private cooking class to learn to make traditional Sicilian specialties such as caponata (eggplant relish) and sfincione (thick, Sicilian-style pizza).

En route to Taormina, see the exquisite mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit Caltagirone, a town famous for ceramics.

Continue to spectacular Taormina, an ancient clifftop town overlooking the sea that has a Greek theater, beautiful gardens, bougainvillea-lined backstreets and upscale boutiques. One day, enjoy a private excursion to Mount Etna, an active volcano with fertile slopes that support vineyards, orchards and farms. Tour some of the most interesting volcanic sites on the mountain, go for a hike and enjoy a lunch that incorporates fresh produce at a local farm. Upon request, Artisans of Leisure can arrange additional activities, such as private boat charters, tickets to concerts in Taormina's ancient theater and other day tours in the region.
