Sicily Tours in August 2026

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.

A fast paced, very full itinerary, covering some truly amazing places. Great group, made up of caring, fun, interesting and interested folks from a whole range of backgrounds. Highlights were the Etna Volcano visit by cablecar and Greek Temples at Selinunte. The tour does not include the mosaics of Villa Romano or the Aeolian Islands, both of which I still want to see....so look out Sicily, I'll be returning!

From the time we lasted until we were dropped off, the whole tour was beyond excellent. The food and wine tours were varied from small plates at different restaurants to large meals at scenic settings. We ate at a seaport and at a farm house (the setting was far from rustic), in markets, and wineries. We had a cooking class where we prepared a traditional Sicilian meal. We stayed in wonderful hotels and had terrific tour guides. The tours were fabulous but they were short enough to allow for sometime to explore on our own. I would highly recommend this well managed and well planned tour.

I'm very grateful for the hard work and planning that everyone at Explore, especially the office, put into making this trip possible with all the ever changing rules around COVID. Congratulations to all involved.

An excellent introduction to the island of Sicily, taking in history, culture, geography/geology and cuisine! It gave me a good idea of what I might want to see again on a return visit.

Loved walking the Magna via Francigena in Sicily with UTracks; everything was very well organised, lots of useful information shared in advance and beautiful countryside and villages to walk through.
