Palermo is not simply a destination, it’s a rhythm, a scent, a story whispered through sunlit streets and carried by the sea breeze. Our curated experiences invite you to explore the city from within: wander through vibrant markets and hidden alleys with expert local guides, sail along the coastline, or surrender to the flavours of Sicily with intimate wine tastings and hands-on cooking classes.
The itinerary starts at Mercato del Capo, sampling local street food and exploring vibrant stalls. You then visit Palermo, including the Quattro Canti and the Cathedral. In the afternoon, transfer to Monreale to admire its 12th-century Arab-Norman Cathedral and Cloister.
Cycle along Palermo's coast, through Arenella's village and Mondello's beach. Explore the 400-hectare Royal Favorita Park and the Capo Gallo Nature Reserve. Discover history, art and the Chinese Palace, once the Bourbon royal residence.
Enjoy a journey aboard Palermo's famous tuk-tuk, the Ape Calessino, exploring baroque streets, markets and Arab-Norman treasures with a private guide. Conclude with Palermo's street food.
Enjoy a relaxing boat trip along Mondello’s stunning coast. Swim in turquoise waters, explore hidden coves, and discover Capo Gallo Nature Reserve. Sunbathe, dive, and unwind—an unforgettable day of fun, relaxation, and breathtaking Mediterranean scenery.
Enjoy a private Fiat 500 tour of Palermo. Explore La Cala harbor, bustling markets, Quattro Canti, Norman Palace, and Monreale Cathedral. Stroll historic piazzas, admire Baroque gems, and conclude at Teatro Massimo, discovering the city’s culture, history, and charm.
Explore western Sicily on off-road trails, discovering Mediterranean flora and fauna. Taste seasonal fruit, enjoy panoramic views of Egadi Islands and Segesta Temple, learn local history and traditions, stroll scenic woods, and relax in the unique Seggestana thermal baths.
Enjoy a guided tour of Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, exploring ancient Greek ruins. Savour an exclusive picnic in Diodoros Garden, surrounded by citrus groves, while tasting authentic Sicilian recipes and immersing yourself in history, culture, and serene landscapes.
Immerse yourself in the serene Sallier de La Tour estate. Taste Monreale DOC wines, explore the historic Liberty-style cellar and hillside vineyards, and enjoy Tasca d’Almerita olive oil paired with small bites for an authentic Sicilian culinary experience.
Discover medieval Castelbuono in the Madonie Mountains with a guided walking tour of its historic center and castle. After lunch, explore Cefalù’s charming streets, picturesque squares, and the Romanesque cathedral, featuring stunning Byzantine mosaics along the ancient Strada Reale.
Leave for Segesta to meet your guide for a temple and theatre tour. Then explore Erice, a medieval hill town with stunning views, visit the Norman Castle, Duomo, pastry shops, and the salt pans before returning to Palermo.
In the vibrant heart of Palermo, meet your chef and wander through a historic open-air market, where colors, scents, and voices weave the city’s daily ritual. Discover panelle and pane con la milza, then step into a welcoming local home to transform fresh ingredients into a Sicilian feast, savored with fine wine and traditional pastries.
In the sea-breeze light of Trapani, wander from the murmuring fish market to the Ligny Tower and St. Laurence Cathedral, home to a Van Dyck. Salt pans glow along the coast, the Egadi Islands shimmer afar, before wine and memory embrace you in Marsala.
Explore the city through games, clues, and challenges, uncovering its secrets step by step. From the Cathedral to Quattro Canti and Piazza Bellini, retrace 3,000 years of history to find the hidden ancient chest.
Born from the great tradition of puppet theatre, the Opera dei Pupi embodies Southern Italy’s popular culture. Its animated figures recount the Paladins of France, preserving family craftsmanship, intricate armor, and a vast repertoire of nightly performances in Palermo, historically.
With an English-speaking driver and Mercedes, journey into Sicily’s Sosio Valley and timeless Palazzo Adriano. Meet a shepherd, taste warm ricotta, craft cannoli with a village baker, share a heartfelt family lunch, wander sacred squares and museums, encounter artisans, then return enriched.
