A hike in Zingaro National Reserve offers magnificent views over the coast, while there’s also plenty of opportunities to discover the history and heritage of the biggest island in the Mediterranean.

Temples Food and The Sea Coast!

This tour was everything I hoped for and more — the perfect mix of culture, nature, food, and beautiful views. From walking among ancient temples to seeing the sea.. every day had something unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the local towns were full of charm and character. The Gambino winery experience was also amazing. The wines were delicious after a day walking on Etna mixed with cheese and breads and olive oil. Just wonderful!

There are many treasures that Sicily holds

What a wonderful adventure on the island of Sicily. There is everything you could want there - history, culture, scenery, food and wine! There was a good mix of everything on this trip, and I felt that I got to see so many amazing things that I wouldn't have had I been holidaying on my own

Interesting and captivating.

Well organized tour covering various aspects of Sicilian treasures, including history, archeology, architecture, urbane and village sites and nature parks. Our leader tried his best to "navigate "us in our free time. But I think additional envolvement of the local guides would benefit our exploration of the area more complete.
