About this trip

The beguiling beauty of this, the largest Italian Island, is hard to put into words. If Sicily remains an undiscovered part of the ‘Bel Paese’ to you, then Alma Italia can help you to discover this gem of Southern Italy in style with our tailored Sicily tours.

Sicily, located right in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, has because of its strategic position, been conquered and dominated by many different civilizations: Greeks, Romans, Normans, Spanish and Arabs have all left their mark on this enigmatic, beautiful island, leaving Sicily with a rich mix of history, architecture, culture, and food, unique in the world.

At sunset, the whole island seems to sparkle from the stones that were used to construct the hundreds of Greek and Roman temples and towns of Norman or Spanish Baroque style. As the philosopher Plato is once thought to have said:  ‘Sicilians build things like they will live forever and eat like they will die tomorrow’. Indeed, the food, fresh, simple but rich with an explosion exotic of flavors will certainly leave you reaching for your elasticated waist pants!

Sicily is the place where Europe and Africa almost touch and you will witness that in the colours of this land.

Some of Italy’s most spectacular golden beaches are to be found here, some still quite wild and ‘secret’; others, groomed with the famed private beach clubs where you can relax in comfort and style. The emerald green water stays at just the right temperature for swimming, almost all year round. The black rocks of the ever-intrusive Etna Volcano and the vibrant red of its full bodied wines lure you in to taste their splendour

Itinerary

Day 1
Arrival in Noto

Landing in Catania Airport: As will all our bespoke Sicily tours, you will be be greeted with a warm welcome at the airport by both your driver and private tour host who will take care of every little detail for you during your Sicily trip, ensuring you experience the very best of the soul of this magical island. 

Your private driver and host will take you directly to Noto, an atmospheric small town considered the capital of Italian Baroque and a ‘must see’ for all Sicily trips.   The day of your arrival is meant to be for you to recharge after your long flight. We like to start our Sicily tours in style and what a better way to do so than by enjoying some time relaxing by the pool at the boutique hotel that will be your home for a few days with a fresh aperol spritz or a glass of local Sicilian wine, produced by a nearby Noto vineyard with some classic Sicilian appetizers.  

If you are keen to explore, we can take an evening `passeggiata,` strolling in the main streets of the town, soaking up the atmosphere of a Sicilan evening before heading to a local restaurant in town for dinner for your first taste of incredible Sicilian cuisine

We are very happy with Alma Italia and Alessio's and Tim's planning and executing our one month adventure to Italy. From the quick response from Tim and initial phone conversations with him regarding our interest to the detailed itinerary that Alessio put together and arrangement of every detail, we were very please with our decision to go with this company. We had a lot of anxieties about traveling to a foreign speaking country and handling trains, tours, etc. Alessio carefully thought out every situation and made them seamless. One example was in Pompeii - our private driver stopped in a mass of people to let us out and I panicked wondering where in the world we were supposed to go when before we could even get out of the car our guide came from behind the car to introduce herself to us! My husband got to the seven (yes, seven!!) auto museums he was interested in and I got my photoshoot in Venice! It was a lovely vacation we will have warm memories for the rest of our lives.

Best vacation we've ever had. Tim was great putting the trip together for us, including an amazing boat trip in Lake Como, wine tour outside Florence and the cooking school in Sorento. Alessio, was a life saver when we were in Italy. Extremely responsive. He got us a private driver during train strike. The private drivers were always there when got got off the plane and trains. All hotels were 4 star properties. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!!

Most of the trip nd tours were superior. A few minor disappointments, but I have communicated those to the organizer. I definitely recommend Alma Travel

Alessio, who organized our trip was wonderful! He was very helpful, flexible and easy to communicate with for planning and while we were on our wonderful trip to Italy. He recommended a cooking class that was incredible. The hotels he helped us choose were located in great areas, easy to walk to sites. All the tours and drivers he arranged for us were professional and contacted us via Whats App to organize. Highly recommend using Alessio and his travel company.

Memories for a lifetime……sounds so cliche but it was perfect from the beginning to end! Alessio such a pleasure to work with. He was open to our modifications and suggestions. The accommodations were very nice. Our local guides including transportation were so knowledgeable and just fantastic! During my initial research in finding a small company, I could not find many reviews on Alma. Look no further if you want a first class vacation/experience.

I put a lot of thought into planning this vacation and in choosing Alma Italia. I'm so glad I did because our planner, Alessio Mazza, far exceeded my expectations. This trip is everything my wife and I could have asked for and more! As our first trip to Italy, there are many places and things my wife and I wanted to experience. We did not want to go with a group, so we booked the personal tour. Alessio tailored our trip to give us exactly what we were looking for. The transfers were always there and on time, the accommodations were superb, the food was outstanding, the guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and Alessio always made himself available if we had a question or request. Honestly, I do not have a single negative thing to say and give it the highest of recommendations! If you're doing research and reading this, stop looking - you should book through Alma Italia!
