This tour is guided by the team at Vita Italian Tours and their team of local experts. Your tour leaders will escort you throughout your stay and will ensure you have a wonderful experience.
The Colours of Sicily tour highlights the many natural wonders and cultural treasures that entice visitors to the largest island of the Mediterranean. Surrounded by pristine beaches and spectacular cliffside villages, Sicily is full of historic towns with an abundance of ancient architectural gems, churches and museums. Many of these sites, such as Ragusa, Siracusa and Agrigento, are recognised for their historical significance by UNESCO.
Experience the unique and traditional lifestyles of the locals. Enjoy a stay in Taormina, located on the east coast of Sicily, perched on a hill about 250 metres above the sea, providing incredibly scenic views. It also practically sits in the shadow of Mt.Etna, Europe’s largest and most active volcano. You can also enjoy the local produce of many renowned wineries which have their vineyards nestled along the sides of the volcano.
On our tours, we take our travellers to famous small local trattoria/eateries, which large tour companies simply cannot get into. Sicily is known across the world for its delicious signature cuisine. You’ll enjoy food and wine cooked by genuine Sicilians using traditional techniques and fresh and seasonal products from each part of the island. Your palate will experience all the seafood specialties, arancini, cannoli and great local wines that Sicily has to offer!

Our guests say it all
My tour was everything I hoped for. Mario and Gianni are attentive and great company. That is the essence of the tour and their knowledge of Sicily and Italy – the people, culture, foods, history was what I sought. Grazie!

Colours of Sicily
Aeolian Islands: You may wish to extend your trip for an extra all-day excursion to the famed Aeolian Islands. The port of Milazzo will be the first stop to catch a private ferry to the island of Lipari, the largest island and gateway to the Aeolian Archipelago. You will explore the narrow streets and shops of Lipari town. The ferry will then allow you to reach the island of Vulcano, the second most active volcano of the Archipelago. You may wish to have a swim in the naturally warm spiaggia dell’aqua calda thanks to the underwater geysers fuelled by volcanic activity. The tour returns to Taormina in the late afternoon.
Malta: Many choose to extend their Mediterranean experience from Sicily to the fascinating island of Malta. We can organise an all-inclusive package including ferry/airfares, accommodation and private guided tours to all the sites such as Medina, Gozo & The Three Cities. There are 2, 3 & 4-day packages available.
The weather: April-May in Italy is nearing the end of spring. It can get warm during the day, however the evenings are cool. We recommend you bring breathable and comfortable clothing, as well as a light jacket with your favourite walking shoes.
Physical expectations: We do not place age limitations on the tour and welcome anyone with a moderate level of physical fitness. It is important to note that the countryside is undulating and hilly. Many hill-towns have their historical centres closed to traffic, therefore walking is required. Be expected to spend a few hours a day at a time on your feet with breaks for sightseeing, coffee and a taste of the local produce.
The program appears to be busy and full; however, it is mixed with long restful lunches and leisure time for your enjoyment and comfort. If you need to, you can always take time off from the organised program.
