INTIMATE SMALL GROUP TOUR TO SICILY
Experience an unforgettable tour of Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean. Led by engaging local guides and pampered with luxurious accommodations, each moment on our small group tour unveils new wonders waiting to be discovered. The legacies of Greek, Roman, Arab, French, and Spanish influences intertwine to weave tales from a bygone era.
Our 9-day Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour accommodates only six to twelve travelers for a more intimate travel experience. We begin in Palermo, skipping the crowds to delve into the layers of past civilizations. We take a stroll through the vibrant food market and marvel at the stunning golden mosaics of Monreale’s Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Next, we visit the picturesque windmills that dot the salt pans in western Sicily and climb the cliff of Erice for breathtaking views. Setting sail from Trapani, we enjoy a day trip to Favignana Island, immersing ourselves in Mediterranean culture and food traditions shaped by history, with a fascinating tour of a former tuna fishing facility.
Near Castelvetrano, we learn how centuries-old olive trees extract nutrients from the rocks shaped by ancient Greeks, producing an exceptional olive oil recognized by Slow Food.
Our small group tours continue to a luxurious 5-star resort in Agrigento’s sun-drenched countryside. We explore the evocative Greek Temples, visit the charming, off-the-beaten-path town of Naro, and indulge in home-cooked lunch in the surrounding wine region.
For the last two nights of the tour, we drive to the southeast corner of Sicily and shake hands with a family-owned pistachio farm on the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna. From the timeless charm of Ortigia, the historic old town of Siracusa, we explore the well-preserved Greek Theatre and the beautiful town of Noto.
Whether it’s the warm hospitality of Sicilian people opening their homes to us or the stunning views from your room’s balcony, our curated Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour promises to showcase the intense and elemental character that defines this remarkable region.
The trip itinerary was by itself wonderful—the landscape, the hotels, medieval towns, wineries, olive and pistachio farms, museums and churches. At no time did we feel stressed or rushed. Staying at each hotel for 2 or 3 nights helped. The pace suited us to a tee. Clarissa,our tour director, is a treasure—caring, knowledgeable, warm, funny, flexible and now a “family member”. She “got us”. One day I wasn’t well and she adjusted the schedule so that I would not miss seeing the planned sites. She gave us options and steered us to those things she knew we would enjoy-always. This was by far the best trip my husband and I have ever taken. As a result of our overwhelmingly positive experience we are signing up for next year’s Puglia trip. See you then.

MOBILITY AND HEALTH
To enjoy our Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances. This is not a physically demanding tour, however, there will be a lot of walking, often on uneven steps, cobblestones, uphill and downhill. One of the charming aspects of Italy is its historical and architectural conformation. Many towns and attractions can only be visited on foot, as vans and buses cannot access the pedestrian areas where most places of interest are located.

Why a Sicily Tour with Meet Piemonte?
This small-group Sicily Tour, organized by Meet Piemonte Tour Operator, offers insights from local guides and travel professionals who have crafted an exclusive itinerary that spans centuries of history. Being the largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily’s mountains, plains, and shores require the combination of our in-depth knowledge and the support from some of Sicily’s finest local experts to enjoy this comprehensive itinerary.
Our tour features a blend of hidden gems and iconic sites such as Monreale’s Cathedral, the Valley of Temples, and the Greek Theatre of Siracusa, among others. It grants exclusive and personal access to unique venues, including family-owned boutique wineries, esteemed olive oil producers, and home cooking experiences, among others. We have chosen to expand our program to Western Sicily, which is often overlooked by other competitors, while also ensuring a more relaxed schedule despite the long drives typical of Sicily. In the following paragraphs, we detail how this Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour emphasizes areas of the island that may be less frequented but are rich in authenticity and cultural significance.
Comprehensive Small Group Tours to Sicily
Our Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour is tailored for both seasoned travelers and first-time visitors to Sicily. We take pride in highlighting the western coast, particularly Agrigento and its surroundings, concluding in Siracusa. Unlike many competitors who rush to Agrigento for a brief visit to the Valley of Temples before departing with tiring, long bus rides, our small group tours to Sicily offer two nights in a luxury resort nestled in the sun-drenched countryside of Agrigento. Guests can savor exquisite dining while enjoying views of the Greek Temples at night and discover the local area known for winemaking and authentic cultural experiences.
Many Sicily tours often restrict Siracusa to just a day trip, but we opted to spend our last two nights there. The historic area of Siracusa, known as Ortigia, is an island linked to the mainland by bridges. It stands out as one of Sicily’s most enchanting seaside towns, especially in the evening, when the cruise ships and day tourists have departed. Strolling around Ortigia in the morning or at night, taking in the magnificent central square and the illuminated Cathedral, is truly a delightful experience.
Returning to the first part of the tour, Western Sicily is a gem often overlooked. Within a scenic drive from Palermo, the area around Trapani, Erice, and Marsala is rich in natural beauty and offers numerous sights to see. The unique light of the salt pans, dotted with windmills, is visible only in Western Sicily, where the ruins of one of the oldest civilizations in the Mediterranean, the Phoenicians, create an evocative atmosphere.
Sicilian Cuisine at Its Best
Our small group tours to Sicily celebrate the rich flavors of local cuisine, which uniquely blends Arab and Spanish influences. From the traditional couscous found on Favignana Island to the fresh produce sourced from the slopes of Mt. Etna, the menus featured in our Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour showcase a diverse array of local specialties. Explore new flavor nuances during a technical olive oil tasting and savor the refreshing coffee ice slush served for breakfast at a longstanding pastry shop in Noto. We ensure that all our small group tours to Sicily visit the island’s renowned restaurants, offering a delightful combination of fine dining and rustic home cooking that is hard to discover on your own.
Western Sicily & Siracusa Tour’s Accommodations
Experience charming farmhouses transformed into luxury hotels and centrally located stays in Palermo’s vibrant city center. Whether you wake up to a view from your window or unwind with a coffee in hand, let the nearby olive groves, vineyards, or the distant blue Mediterranean inspire you. We thoughtfully choose accommodations for our small group tours to Sicily that embody the island’s essence, offering much more than just a place to rest. The luxury resort with views of the Greek Temples will treat you to private pools on your room’s patio, along with all modern amenities. In Ortigia, enjoy spacious lodgings within beautifully restored historic palaces, exuding timeless elegance.
Safety on our Sicily Tour
While some areas of Southern Italy can be quite different from the rest of the nation, exploring independently may pose unexpected challenges due to complicated logistics, particularly when it comes to driving. Our Sicily tour package takes care of all arrangements for a stress-free vacation, providing you with a sense of security. This allows us to access remote parts of the island and navigate the charming back streets of Palermo, where our local guide shares insights into everyday life in the area. With our small group tours to Sicily, you can delve into the rich histories of Noto, Agrigento, Erice, and Palermo, where ancient Greek temples, theaters, and golden mosaics highlight the island’s glorious past- all without the worries of driving, coordinating with local vendors, overcoming language barriers, or any other potential hassles.
A Sicily Tour with Offbeat and Local Interactions
With a group size limited to only twelve guests, our escorted small group tours to Sicily will introduce you to the warmth and hospitality of Sicilian locals. Whether it’s sharing conversations with friendly pistacchio farmers on the slopes of Mt. Etna or engaging with passionate winemakers during vineyard tours, you’ll have the opportunity to forge meaningful connections where large groups cannot go and gain a deeper understanding of Sicilian life. Discover how history, art, and movies can inspire travel to the Mediterranean’s islands and how to choose between a Sicily or Sardinia Tour in our blog.
