Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry
People-to-People Experiences: Head to the island of Salina for A Day in the Life of an Aeolian Island farmstead, where the farm workers will share stories of their life while we lend a hand with daily chores. Enjoy a special Home-Hosted Lunch, a delightful way to experience everyday life as a Sicilian family welcomes you to share their table for a traditional meal and conversation. In Taormina, you’ll get to watch a chef prepare arancini, stuffed and fried rice balls that are a staple of Sicilian cuisine. Then, you’ll be able to roll up your sleeves and try your hand at making arancini yourself.
O.A.T. Exclusives: In Savoca—a small village where a key scene from The Godfather was filmed—you'll stop to discuss the Controversial Topic of the local Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, during a conversation with locals who are knowledgeable about the infamous organization.
Customize Your Experience: Join the 87% of travelers who extend their time abroad. Add the pre-trip extension to The Maltese Archipelago, post-trip extension to The Amalfi Coast & Sorrento, or a combination of these extensions to your Sicily and southern Italy adventure—when you do, you’ll travel in the company of the same Trip Experience Leader throughout your trip for a seamless experience, and enjoy more time to develop bonds with your fellow travelers.
