Itinerary
Nibble on freshly shaped cheese as buffaloes swing their tails in the distance. Step back to a time when ancient Greeks roamed the earth as their stories are spoken through locals. And witness the trembling glory that is Mount Etna – one of the most active volcanoes in the world. On this expertly crafted tour of splendid Sicily, every day begs a new journey, and a question... What memories will we carve on the cobbled paths before us?

Customer Reviews
Good places to visit, good hotels but some were too far away from towns and there was nowhere to go in our free time
A well-organised and interesting tour. Our guide Luca and our driver Emidio were professional, attentive and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the relaxed and friendly vibe. Couldn't fault the accommodation and food. Having some two-night stays made it really relaxing and the traveling days were easy with plenty of rest and sightseeing stops. Sicily os an amazing destination and Backroads made the whole experience memorable. We highly recommend this trip
We have recently completed this tour and loved it. Luca was fabulous guide. Emilio a safe and thoughtful driver. Our accomodation was generally excellent, stops for lunch at winery, almond farm and buffalo farm were highlights. This was definitely a ‘ back roads ‘ experience and we are grateful to our guide and team behind him for making our holiday memorable. Will definitely be booking Back Toads again.
Enjoyed the tour very much. Travel in the vehicle was not too much, sites we saw were very interesting, great guides at the sites we visited. Hotels were nice, had an excellent guide and driver. The size of the tour was only 6 people, which was awesome. Sicily is a beautiful country and this was a great way to see and learn about it.
The Splenders Of Sicily was an excellent tour. We loved the fact that it was a Back Roads type of tour. There is so much to see in Sicily and this tour covered so much. We liked the small size of the tour group and the day to day pace. Our tour guide Lorianna was excellent. She went above and beyond to ensure that we saw so much. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the history and geography of Sicily was outstanding. We liked the innovative way Lori used the Whatsapp application to keep the group involved by sharing pictures and stories.
