Sicily Tours & Vacation Packages

Our Zicasso travel specialist did a fantastic job planning our family vacation for five adults.

Each hotel was top-notch. At the villa in Taormina, the rooms were luxurious, with unbelievable views of the bay and Mount Etna from private verandas. The staff were gracious and the restaurant's breakfast buffet delicious. Lunch and dinner were top-notch. The hotel in Agrigento was modern and the grounds were exceptional. It was close to the Valley of the Temples, with amazing views of the ruins from each room and the beautiful infinity pool. The hotel in Palermo was old-fashioned luxury with up-to-date facilities and close to the old town.

Our tour guides and drivers were excellent.

My only regret is that we only had 10 days to explore Sicily as there was so much more to see!

Our agent did a yeoman's job helping us plan this trip.

We loved Sicily! Zicasso's travel operator provided us with an amazing trip! Every guide and activity surpassed our expectations. From the archaeological parks to the cooking class at the palace, the art class, the Jeep tour of Mount Etna, the olive oil and lemon farm, but especially the guides she selected for us, it was pure joy! The history of that country is mind-boggling and fascinating to learn about.

The trip itself was OK. We loved getting to know Sicily and the itinerary provided by Zicasso's travel company was very interesting. The suggestion I would make for new travelers to this region is that they choose another time, instead of May. We expected warmer weather.

Another suggestion is that if you are going to rent a car, choose a small one. The cities are really small (downtown), so the streets are very narrow. You have to be very careful when driving. In Ragusa, a parking lot near the best part of the city should be recommended (I have already told the travel consultant about that).

As for the rest, everything went just fine and I would recommend visiting Sicily.

We had the good fortune to be introduced to Zicasso's travel consultant in 2024. She planned for us a perfect trip through Amalfi and Sicily. We were so impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail, and communication that we did not hesitate to seek her out for Naples and Apulia in June 2025. Her guides (who were always special) and drivers are dedicated to her.

Last year, I recall saying you should stay away from Google, tell her your vision, and let her do the rest. She will present every option. We did want to fine-tune a few small preferences this time, but overall, I would give the same advice. We find her to be exceptional and have told her so.
