The perfect way to tour Sicily in 10 days is how I’d describe Vincenzo’s approach to planning a trip around the island. From airport transfers to city walking tours, visits to ruins, winery tours, olive oil tastings with lunch, and a full-time driver during our stay—every detail was meticulously handled by this tour operator. The team’s knowledge of history and geography was exceptional. This is the best way to see as much of Sicily as possible in a week, with no large crowds and a personal touch that only Vincenzo and his staff can provide.

Four of us had a wonderful week (not long enough!) in Sicily with Tour of Sicily. Each day, an English-speaking driver picked us up from our hotel and took us on fantastic day trips to various fascinating sites on this incredible island. The drivers were friendly, helpful, and full of knowledge about all the places we visited. They went out of their way to ensure we had a great time—special thanks to Alfeo, Sebastian, Frank, and of course Vincenzo! At some sites, we had private guides who provided in-depth historical insights. Elisabetta in Palermo was absolutely exceptional! We highly recommend Tour of Sicily to organize your vacation on this magical island.
