Milazzo to Lipari and Vulcano in one day: Lipari old town and views, Vulcano black-sand swimming, plus a scenic boat cruise.

“This really is a great way to get exposed Lipari and Volcano. The views approaching the islands are spectacular and the length of time spent on each island was perfect. On Lipari, we enjoyed the sights and had a nice leisurely lunch. On Vulcano, we rented quads and toured the entire island. It was great fun and a perfect day. I will definitely recommend it to other friends when they visit me. The sea was a little choppy and the sea splash was a bit much for some, but you can't control it and we actually enjoyed it!”

“Today we spent a wonderful December day exploring Mount Etna with our guide Giovanni. The tour was private, with a very clean and beautiful business-class vehicle for pick-up and drop-off. Along the way, Giovanni shared many interesting facts and stories, which made the journey even more enjoyable. At the end, we also had the chance to taste some delicious local specialties. Giovanni is a very safe and steady driver, which made the whole experience feel relaxing and comfortable. The entire trip was fresh, peaceful, and perfectly organized. If you’re visiting Etna in December, I highly recommend booking this tour to enjoy the breathtaking, snow-covered landscape of Etna.☃️❄️🌋”

A fast-paced Sicily day trip from Palermo to Erice, Trapani salt pans, and Segesta’s Doric temple, with great views and local insight.

“Excellent day trip superb tour leader (your description said none would be on the tour so an excellent addition. Small party of 17 people in a comfortable minibus. Tour leader, Nicola gave a brilliant description of the history of Sicily in English and Italian, plus detailed info on each of the historic sights visited. Only negative was the short stay at Segesta, this was rushed as the shuttle bus to the amphitheater ran every half hour, increasing the stay would be better if 30 minutes longer. Erice and the Salt Pans stops were good.”

We especially appreciated Renato stopping at the viewpoint first, allowing us to take in the stunning views of Castellamare del Golfo. While we enjoyed the entire trip, it was Renato who truly made it a 5-star experience with his expertise and friendly demeanor. Highly recommended!Read more”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 140 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $81

Palermo to Agrigento day trip by air-conditioned minivan for UNESCO Valley of the Temples, expert guidance, and self-paced museum time.

“En masse, our group decided to “hire” one of the guides who await groups such as ours as they arrive at the gate. She was wonderful. I know you can take an audio guided tour, however, an audio guide can’t answer a question that may arise and she was terrific. The Valley of the Temples is a beautiful, historic, place that inspires awe and wonder. I encourage anyone considering this tour to take it. When we left Arigento, we took a break by the sea and it was a moment to soak in nature at its most powerful.”
