10 Best October 2026 Tours in Palermo
Join one of these handpicked Palermo October 2026 tour packages, tailored to the season.
Experience the ancient pilgrimage trails of Sicily's Camino. Travel by foot along the 'regie trazzere' or ancient road from Palermo and the Tyrrhenian Sea in the north to Agrigento on the southern Mediterranean coast to discover the rugged beauty of inland Sicily with its archaeological treasures and friendly locals who have been welcoming pilgrims for centuries. The Magna Via Francigena was officially re-opened in 2017 in celebration of its rich historical legacy as a trade route connecting Africa and the Middle East to Europe. It runs through ancient landscapes to extraordinary villages clinging to the cliffs and some suprisingly green hills among lakes and rolling mountains. However what is striking about the Magna Via Francigena is the influence of those who occupied the land over the years, from the Greeks and Romans, to the people of Byzantium and the Moors, and the legacies they left behind in the form of mozaics and other ancient relics, traditions and culinary influences. On arrival in Agrigento, dip your toes into the sea, receive your Testamonium at the cathedral and revel in the satisfaction of having walked across Sicily.

Well organized tour, very good accommodation, excelent quality of tasted food including the one on markets. Cooking class led by excellent chef cook with sense of humor. Professional guides, professional drivers. There is nothing to complain about. I'll certainly come back to Sicily. One comment: please leave more time to visit Noto.
David Miles | Traveled in October
A wonderful tour with expert guides. The hotel in Palermo noisy due ghetto blasters on weekend nights and sirens, horns etc in rooms facing the square. Taormina was the highlight for me, and I will stream “The White Lotus” as soon as I can.
Michele & Greg | Traveled in October
Amazing tour. Full credit to Roma on sharing her recommendations and experience with us. An awesome woman who goes out of her way to ensure an enjoyable tour is had by all. So many places to see & new foods to try. Memories for a lifetime
Anonymous | Traveled in October
First-time user of this type of tour (self-guided); pretty pleased with most aspects. Service desk was able to reschedule the start of the walk (due to cancelled flight), rearranged taxi transport from the airport as well as later call a B&B that was not answering my calls or knocks! GPS system worked well and they even arranged pretty good weather.
