The O.A.T. Difference: Sicily
People-to-People Experiences: See what’s in the typical cucina Siciliana (Sicilian kitchen) when you sit down with a smaller group of travelers for a Home-Hosted Lunch with a Sicilian family in Mazara del Vallo.
O.A.T. Exclusives: Spend A Day in the Life of Castelbuono, a hilltop village crowned with a medieval castle. Here, we'll meet a group of hardworking local donkeys and learn about the town's innovative solution to waste disposal. We'll also tour the castle, visit with locals in Castelbuono's charming piazza, and sit down to a traditional Sicilian meal with members of the community to learn about what life is like in this small town. Plus, explore Modica like the locals do as we zip through its narrow streets in vintage Fiat 500s. We'll also discuss the Controversial Topic of the local Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, during a conversation with someone who is knowledgeable about the organization.
Local Trip Experience Leaders and Regional Office Expertise: Explore with a local Trip Experience Leader, who is fluent in English and trained by O.A.T. on the skills needed to bring travelers off the beaten path to meet with locals who share their cultures and traditions with us. Plus, follow an itinerary that’s been carefully crafted by O.A.T.’s Rome office—operating since 2004.
Small Groups: No more than 16 travelers, guaranteed.
Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry.
Customize Your Experience: Join the 44% of travelers who extend their time abroad. Add a pre-trip extension to Puglia: Italy's Undiscovered Heel, post-trip extension to Calabria: Southern Italy’s Hidden Heartland or Amalfi Coast & Naples: Terraced Cliffs, Turquoise Waters & Ancient Ruins, or a combination of these extensions to your Sicily adventure—when you do, you’ll enjoy more time to develop bonds with your fellow travelers.
Join the growing number of solo travelers reserved on upcoming departures of this adventure—traveling independently or sharing a room with a mother, daughter, sister, or friend.
Safety & Security: You'll have the guidance and support of your expert Sicilian Trip Experience Leader throughout your entire trip—as well as our regional office in Rome, which is available and ready to help you and your group 24/7.
Travel Solo, But Never Alone: On average, almost half of your group will also be traveling independently, so it’s easier to forge special bonds as you experience unforgettable moments together during your adventure. Plus, your Trip Experience Leader can help connect you with fellow travelers who share your common interests.
FREE or low-cost Single Supplements: Free or low-cost Single Supplements are offered on all O.A.T. adventures and are FREE on pre- or post-trip extensions—a savings of $900-$1,100 per person compared to other travel companies. See available single space here »
