    Sicily as we always wanted to see it

    Angela Macaluso was a wonderful expert who planned our trip and to met our individual interests. She patiently offered us options to see the amazing history, food, wine, and people of Sicily. Our four couple tour was a truly amazing, enjoyable, and memorable experience. As a native Sicilian, Angela presented the magic of Sicily in so many fun ways. We experienced the variety of Sicilian wines and cuisines with local expert tour guides who made the history of Sicily come alive. She also gave us the opportunity to interact with local Sicilians to further burnish our memories of this fantastic island. We will definitely call Angela the next time we want to see other regions of Italy!

    Response from the operator: Dear Larry thank you for your lovely lovely review I am happy to have succeeded in the goal that I had set myself: to introduce you to the deep soul of my beautiful island. When we create our itineraries, we do it with one goal: to get our customers in touch with the destination. And how to do this? easy: connecting customers with locals. Because it is only through the eyes and words of the locals that you can get to know the soul of a place. I am happy to know that you have loved Sicily, a wonderful land that needs to be known in all its many facets. I hope to see you again soon and to be able to plan with your wonderful group another region of Italy with the same spirit with which I introduced you to Sicily See you soon angela

    Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime cost?

    +

    Prices start at $4,913 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Palermo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime 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 Palermo is not rushed.

    Is Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Palermo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime?

    +

    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 Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime 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 Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime?

    +

    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 Palermo 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 Palermo and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime 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 Palermo 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 Palermo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Palermo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Palermo Pizza and Gelato Cooking Class with Meal and Wine, Palermo Food Tour: 10+ Tastings of Arancini, Cannoli, Wine & More, The Original Palermo Street Food & Market Tour (All-Inclusive!). 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 Palermo?

    +

    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 Palermo?

    +

    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 Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Dinner; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Breakfast. Not included: Airfare; The optional excursions; Drinks during the meals (except the ones mentioned); and Meals not mentioned. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 55 listed pickup locations in and around Palermo. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sicily … A Love of a Lifetime?

    +
