Sicily Tours & Cycling Trips

No two trips to Sicily are quite the same – and ours are really special. We curate shared moments shaped by years of local insight and connections. You might sip Marsala in a vineyard where the sun always seems to shine just right, or walk among ancient temples that look like they were built to impress the gods (and still succeed). Our Sicily tours peel back the layers with the help of sharp-eyed guides, perfectly paced itineraries, and just the right number of gelato stops. As one traveller put it, “I saw things I never would have on my own – and came away with a true sense of Sicily.”

Yes – all of our Sicily tours are small group adventures with between 5 and 16 travellers. This means fewer queues, more laughs, and a better chance your guide remembers your coffee order by day two.

We offer a variety of activity levels to suit every type of traveller. Our Sicily Food Adventure is an easy-paced feast of culture and cuisine – think short walks between street food tastings and comfortable transfers between vineyard visits. Treasures of Sicily and the Sicily Grand Tour are Easy to Moderate, with hikes across lava fields on Mount Etna and scenic coastal trails through the Zingaro Nature Reserve. Cycling in Sicily is rated Moderate – perfect for those who like their archaeology with a side of pedal power.

Absolutely. Solo doesn’t mean alone – not when there’s limoncello, shared stories, and Sicilian sunsets involved. Whether you’re cycling between ancient ruins, foraging pistachio cannoli at a market stall, or raising a glass of Nero d’Avola at dinner, the planning’s taken care of, the pace is relaxed, and the company? Often the best part.

On the Sicily Food Adventure, roll up your sleeves and roll pasta like the pros with chefs in Erice. Explore the southeastern part of the island on two wheels on the Cycling in Sicily tour. Fancy going a bit deeper? The Sicily Grand Tour gives you a chance to uncover the whole island in two weeks – all at a reasonable pace, with plenty of time for catching your breath.

Yes, they’re the main course! Graze your way from cannoli to caponata while learning the stories behind each bite or trace Sicily’s history through its temples, cathedrals and coastal paths. Taste, ride and roam in equal measure.

Our trips to Sicily reach all corners of this fascinating island. In Palermo, explore vibrant markets and Arab-Norman palaces. In Agrigento, wander through rows of ancient Greek temples set on a ridge overlooking the sea. At Piazza Armerina, marvel at vast Roman mosaics hidden in the hills. Our cycling and cultural tours often visit baroque towns like Ragusa, Modica and Noto, where the architecture is as rich as the gelato. And for nature lovers, there’s Mount Etna’s lunar landscapes and the dramatic coastal trails of Zingaro.

We choose characterful, comfortable places to stay, often within walking distance of historic centres. You could stay in a former railway workers’ lodge turned stylish hotel in Modica, or cool off with a poolside dip at Agriturismo Tenuta Arangio, a traditional Sicilian estate run by the Arangio family. In Palermo, you might unwind on the terrace of a family-run hotel just minutes from the opera house. One stay may charm you with Sicilian ceramics; another might tempt you with a very welcome happy hour.

Yes – and they’re led by our expert Exodus leaders who know every lava path, sea breeze and shortcut worth taking – not to mention where to find the best granita after a long day’s walk.

Sicily shines in spring and autumn, when the weather is warm but not scorching, and the landscapes are at their most vibrant. April to June and September to October are ideal for walking, cycling or enjoying a leisurely gelato in the piazza. Summer offers longer days and great swimming, though expect heat inland. Each season brings a different flavour – our itineraries are timed to help you savour the best of it.
