Best of Sicily - Italy

If the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “Sicily” is "The Godfather” we’re here to expand your horizons.

This trip moves at a good pace but still gives you the perfect mix of fun activities and free time – and incredible cuisine, of course. Find out why Sicily is one of Italy’s true hidden gems.
