Great Travel Support
Sicilian Activies were not just a tour guide for us but support on our travels in Sicily. They provide several transfers and tours. They were also there to help when Mt Etna ash shut down the airport canceling our flight

Best tour in Sicily!
This was our first time in Sicily and our goal was to see as much as we could without driving which can be challenging. Sicily Activities did a fantastic job in terms of knowledgeable guides and chosen restaurants. Aside from the hotel in Taormina, which we had been forewarned, the hotels were lovely, well located with great breakfasts. Fabio, the guide in Palermo, was exceptional. He spent extra time with our group of four as he his so passionate about his city’s history and architecture. We would have liked to spend the entire day with him. It was amazing all that we experienced in just eight days! Bravo to the entire team at Sicily Activities!

Great time in Sicily.
Wonderful time. Excellent guides. We saw so much history and culture. Well worth an overview and Sicily.

Great small group tour, good food!
Excellent small group tour of 7 people. We all got along . You really don’t want to be on a tour bus in Sicily. The guides were almost all top notch, especially Valerio for archeology. We changed guides and drivers every day, but that was fine. The vehicles were comfortable Mercedes vans. The hotels were fine, centrally located, rooms did the job. The pool at the Ariston was excellent. The lunches and wine tastings were generally outstanding and well chosen for location. I am really glad I did this tour because it hit all the high points of a bucket list destination. Sicily is a must. My only regret is that I would have liked 2 more days in Palermo to visit museums and perhaps Cefalù, and I wish the other hotels had pools like the Ariston. The only other nitpick is that I would prefer to pay tips in advance rather than have to worry about tipping guides and drivers daily. I highly recommend.

8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.
How much does 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests) cost?
+
Prices start at $2,849 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests) take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catania is not rushed.
Is 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests)?
+
Around 34 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8 Days Small Group Sicily Highlights (Max 8 Guests) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Catania?
+
On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Catania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Catania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
