Palermo Sightseeing Trips

Walking the Magna Via Francigena was challenging - many steep hills, mud and rain. They organised everything else so that all we had to do was walk, making the walk much easier. The scenery was stunning.

Terrific walk, going through picturesque villages, interesting rural countryside and some lovely forested areas. Features some amazing views. A substantial proportion is walking on paved roads, but the best bits are walking on single track or rural dirt roads.

A wonderful journey through Sicily's lesser-known interior. Beautiful hilltop towns, rolling hills of olives, vines. Staggering mountain scenery. Friendly and welcoming people. Delicious food and wine. A slice of Heaven! And, as always, the people at UTracks made it go like clockwork. I did the easy bit!

They did a fanastic job organizing our trip, and were very responsive to iur queries and requests while we were en-route. The walk itself was spectacular although I would not recommend doing it in mid summer (as we did) because of the heat and lack of shade on large sections of the walk.

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.

Route is super, rated as moderate, but with the temp in September at ~35 degrees, I found it strenuous. I have previously completed some Spanish Caminos (French, Portuguese and Primitivo) and for comparison, the Sicilian route is more remote with no online services, we met no other hikers, so having sufficient water (3 to 4 litres) and energy drink is recommended. The towns on the route are fabulous with good food and accommodation. You’ll need google translate if u have no Italian / Sicilian. Great trip and highly recommended.
