A Mediterranean crossroads: Greek, Arab, Norman, Italian, all at once.
What is a custom tour to Sicily?
A custom tour to Sicily is a private, fully personalized itinerary built around your dates, interests, and budget. Instead of following a fixed group schedule, you work with a local expert to choose experiences like Mt Etna dawn climb with geologist, Noto baroque and cannoli walk, and Favignana island private boat. Travelers typically spend 7–10 days in Sicily, visiting in April–June, September–October, with custom tours starting from around €2,200 per person.
A custom tour to Sicily is not the same trip as a package. It's designed around you — your pace, your interests, your dates — with a local partner who lives there and knows which streets are worth the walk and which are worth skipping. A custom Sicily tour pairs Taormina with an Etna dawn climb, a Noto baroque walk, and a private tuna fishing lunch off Favignana — the Mediterranean at its wildest, tastiest, and most storied.
Sicily sits in Italy in Europe, and rewards travelers who go beyond the highlights. Our custom itineraries start with the icons — Mt Etna dawn climb with geologist and Taormina Greek theatre and swim — then pivot to the kind of local moments that make a trip memorable: a morning with a private guide, a quiet hour at Agrigento Valley of before the crowds arrive, and an evening chosen just for you.
Plan for April–June, September–October as the best window to visit. A one-week custom trip starts from €2,200 per person, including private guides, curated hotels, and flexible transport — peak weeks cost more, shoulder months less. Sicily sits in the comfortable mid-range of our destinations for price.
