Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, reconnecting with your roots, enjoying a multigenerational family vacation, or simply looking to share unforgettable moments, Sicily is the perfect destination for a journey together.

At Tour of Sicily, we specialize in creating tailor-made private tours from 6 to 12 days, combining fascinating history, breathtaking scenery, authentic food and wine experiences, charming accommodations, and the comfort of travelling with your own private transportation.

Why Choose a Private Sicily Tour for Your Family or Friends?

When travelling with people you love, every detail matters.

Organizing a vacation for several couples, an extended family, or a group of friends can be challenging. Different interests, varying ages, preferred travel styles, and accommodation expectations all need to be considered.

That’s where our local knowledge makes the difference.

Travel When It Suits You
Unlike scheduled group tours, your vacation can be planned around your preferred arrival and departure dates, including the choice of Palermo or Catania airports.

A Journey Designed Around Your Interests
From archaeological treasures and UNESCO sites to wineries, Sicilian villages, culinary discoveries and coastal scenery, we create an itinerary that reflects what your group would love to experience.

Private Transportation for Greater Comfort
Travel in an appropriately sized private vehicle, from a comfortable minivan to a larger minibus or coach, depending on the number of guests and luggage requirements.

Local Expertise Since 2001
Our Sicily-based Travel Experts coordinate your journey with the knowledge and experience of a local tour operator, helping you make informed choices before your arrival.

A Private Sicily Tour Designed Around Your Group — Not the Other Way Around

Your holiday should reflect the people travelling together.

We can help you choose the right balance of guided sightseeing, free time, cultural experiences, food and wine, countryside excursions and scenic stops.

Depending on your preferences, your customized package may include:

  • Private airport transfers and transportation throughout your tour.

  • Carefully selected hotels, boutique properties or luxury accommodations.

  • English-speaking Driver Escorts on touring days.

  • Licensed English-speaking local guides for selected monuments, archaeological sites and cities.

  • Winery visits, food experiences, cooking classes and special activities.

  • Arrangements adapted to seniors, children or travellers with reduced mobility.

  • Time for independent exploration, shopping and relaxation.

The final services, accommodation category, admission fees and experiences will be clearly specified in your personalized quotation.

Is a Private Tour Better Value When Travelling with Friends or Family?

For a group travelling together, a private tour can be an especially attractive option.

By sharing the cost of exclusive transportation and selected services among several participants, your group may enjoy a highly personalized experience at a more accessible per-person rate than expected.

Rather than paying individually for multiple excursions and transfers, you can ask us to create a coordinated private journey covering the services you actually need.

Our recommendation: If you are travelling with four or more people, it’s worth comparing a fully private itinerary with joining scheduled tours.

The price will depend on your travel dates, group size, preferred accommodation, itinerary and selected services.

Planning for 4, 6, 8, 10 or more travellers?

Tell us your group size and preferred number of days. We can prepare a proposal based on your requirements and provide a clear per-person cost.

Frequently Asked Questions About Private Sicily Group Tours

Can we travel with just our friends or family, without joining other tourists?

Absolutely. A fully private tour is organized exclusively for your group. You won’t be combined with unrelated travellers during your private touring services.

What is the ideal group size for a private Sicily tour?

Private itineraries can be arranged for couples, families and larger groups. Travelling with four or more people can be particularly interesting because certain transportation and guiding expenses can be shared.

Can we start our trip in Palermo and finish in Catania?

Yes. We can design itineraries starting and finishing at different airports, depending on your flight arrangements and preferred route.

Can we choose our own hotels?

Yes. You may ask us to include accommodation in your package or plan your stay at hotels you have selected independently, subject to the services required.

Are these tours suitable for older travellers or multigenerational families?

Yes. We can consider walking limitations, preferred sightseeing duration, hotel accessibility and other needs when designing the itinerary. Accessibility of individual sites and accommodation must be verified in advance.

Do we need to decide the exact itinerary before contacting you?

Not at all. You can simply tell us when you would like to travel, how many people are coming and what interests you most. We will help you explore suitable options.

How much does a 6–12 day private Sicily tour cost?

Private tour prices vary according to travel dates, group size, itinerary, hotel category, vehicle requirements and included activities. We prepare quotations based on your specific arrangements rather than applying a single fixed price to every group.
