    The best tour of the sites, culture, food and wines of Sicily

    We had the most wonderful time touring around Sicily. We basically did the lap visiting many of the cities, towns and villages. The food, wine and sites were amazing and our tour guide Angela was prefect. She was able to share so much of the local history and knowledge which made the tour so much more enjoyable. She also ensured we had the best accommodation and out tour was topped off by the remarkable Giuseppe, our talented bus driver.

    Response from the operator: Dear Mark thank you so much for your review. reviews are important for our business because you are the " witness" of our services and love for our work and land: I'm happy you enjoyed the time spent with us and especially every single day we designed for your group. I hope to see you soon in Italy or again in Sicily Now you have a family here A big hug from your Sicilian friends Angela & Staff

    Sicily has captured our hearts

    What an outstanding experience that will provide a lifetime of memories. Angela (our guide) and Giuseppe (our driver) took great care of us at every opportunity and their passion for Sicily made the whole tour an experience for the heart as well as the mind. We were treated like royalty and have forged many wonderful friendships that will last for years to come. Our experiences felt tailored and unique and gave us insight into local culture, history, food (oh the food!), traditions and daily life. You get so much more from a guided tour like this one than just traveling under your own steam... lots of background and fascinating inside information. Family and friends comment on our incredible photos but really the incredible photos come from the very scenic and spectacular locations and experiences of our personalized tour and the oh-so photogenic Sicily. We have fallen in love with Sicily and look forward to returning next year. Thank you Ang, Giuseppe and team. I have nothing but the highest recommendation for this experience.

    Response from the operator: Oh my! Dear leanne I cannot thenak you enough for this amazing review. We always try to give the best to our clients and transform their vacation into lifetime memories: I'm happy you loved our services and especially our wonderful island and I hope to see you soon again in Sicily or in an other corner of Italy Thanks Angela & Staff

    So So Good...an Experience like no other--- 8 days of Aurora Importing Tour with Angela

    There should be a 10 Star rating, as Angela would qualify....Angela pulled out all of the stops for our intimate group as we discovered the beauty, flavors, history and soul of Sicily!! She created an 8 Day 'beyond expectations' tour throughout this island of beauty and took us to multiple 'hidden gems' filled with fantastic local food, wine and beautiful Sicilian folk. Angela was always 'one step ahead' of our desires and adjusted our tour to meet our groups needs/desires, which was not always easy. The extraordinary experience of each stop will be an emotional memory to cherish and share with others to go visit Sicily and let Angela sprinkle her magic. Gracia Angela.. we shall return ! Diane & Bob

    Response from the operator: Dear Diane and Bob thank you so much for the amazing review.. So nice.. Thank you. I did and do everything is in my power to let clients discover the real Sicily and live experiences. Our politic is that clients arrive as guests and live as friends. And this happened with you. Me too I hope to see you very soon and I will be happy to show you the rest of my island. See you soon A big hug to both of you Angela

    COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.

    How much does COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,372 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 COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY?

    +

    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 COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY?

    +

    Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY 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.

    What is included in COLORS , FLAVORS and SMELLS IN THE SCENIC BAROQUE of SICILY?
