“I can’t say enough good things about our experience in Sicily thanks to Mossimo and his team. Excellent, informative tour guides…Denise, Carlos, Antonio and Sem. The cooking class may have been the highlight, but all of the activities were fun and the pace of the tour, planned activities/free time mix was perfect. Will definitely recommend!”

Travel tips for Cultural Tours in Italy
Secure your museum tickets a couple of weeks in advance, especially for popular attractions such as the ruins of Pompeii or the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
Be aware that family-owned shops and artisanal laboratories in smaller countryside towns might operate on reduced hours and are typically closed between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Avoid tourist traps by seeking recommendations from locals or your tour guide.
Keep your belongings secure and avoid carrying valuable items in easily accessible pockets or bags.
Keep in mind that food is an integral part of Italian culture. Discover it by opting for authentic agriturismi and trattorie (i.e. traditional, family-owned Italian restaurants that offer simple, home-cooked meals), instead of commercial restaurant chains.
Ensure your clothing adheres to respectful dress codes (i.e. covering your shoulders and knees before entering churches and other religious buildings) when visiting religious sites or historic landmarks.
