The Best Highlights 7 Day Sicily Tour 2026

Our experience was absolutely wonderful. The trip was ideally planned seeing the many cities we had a great interest in going to visit. Our driver/guide,. Paolo Mortellaro was very knowledgeable about Sicily and was able to select ideal locations for us to get the most out of our trip. He was personable, friendly, and became a friend, but in no way intrusive. We would recommend him to anyone travelling to Sicily and if and when we come back we will definitely talk to Paolo before any planning

Great, well thought out itinerary,( 10 days). Knowledgeable and hospitable guides. Very flexible in terms of timing and specific itinerary. Excellent drivers. Highly recommend for those looking for a private tour. Specifically Paulo, the owner and often guide, and Vito, our primary driver were great.

Sicily is absolutely enchanting !! Every view , every city breathtaking . We couldn’t get enough. I highly recommend using Handy Sicily and Paulo’s services. I could not have asked for a better guide , driver and companion. Paulo went out of his way to make each and every experience seamless ! I highly recommend the highlights of Sicily tour if you are s group of 5 to 6 - Paulo being one of the highlights himself !!

Emilia was a terrific tour guide. We had two separate tours with her; Oritigia walking tour and Siracusa archeological park. She was flexible and gracious when we ran late for the first tour. Overall a very engaging story teller, bringing historical and mythological characters to life with her compelling descriptions. We would highly recommend her, as she was a very helpful resource and very responsive, easy to communicate with offering many ideas and links to make our travel more pleasurable.

Words cannot express how amazing this vacation was for my family. There were 16 of us (ages 6 - 76) and Paolo and Barbara made every minute perfect. There was something for everyone - kids and adults. We were not an easy crew either! My Father and Uncle wanted to see the small town they were born in (Melilli). The kids wanted pools and beaches, and others wanted museums and historic sights. Somehow it all worked. Paolo worked with me for over a year leading up to this vacation. He got on the phone with me twice and was very accommodating, changing things as we needed. He also gets an A+ for the hotels which were all beautiful and different – we had multiple experiences – beautiful downtown Palermo to sprawling hotels with pools and beautiful grounds to explore. The pasta making class was the overall favorite – we still make fresh pasta at home almost a year later! Paolo, thank you so much. I think about our week in Sicily almost every day and I very much appreciate the time and energy you spent on us. Kathy Mullins and Family

We had a fantastic 14 days with overnight stays in six locations—all arranged by Handy Sicily and Paolo who were fantastic as a guide and companion, and in planning and customizing to meet our interests and needs. We wouldn’t have included the eye-popping Roman mosaics at the Villa Casale, which became a highlight of our trip, except for Paolo. We didn’t know if our physical limits and rest needs would keep us out of hill towns like Cefalu, Erice and Ragusa Ibla, and stunning Greek temples and theatres near Selinunte, Agrigento, Ortygia and Taormina but Paolo made it happen. Is a sudden rain shower interrupting a Syracuse walk? No problem—Paolo proposes an unscheduled drive to see a Caravaggio painting in a nearby Church and an ancient coin collection that knocked our socks off in a nearby Museum. He chose hotels for us also, which were excellent—and more affordable than some. In addition to all the local knowledge, Paolo went out of his way to help us meet our needs and preferences in food, sundries, and people-watching .If you’re interested in a customized tour of Sicily and a private driver, for either long or short trips, we feel Paolo and Handy Sicily are the top of the line and deserve 5 stars--at least!.

Traveling with Paolo throughout Sicily was a spectacular adventure that exceeded all our expectations! Paolo planned the perfect itinerary based on his deep understanding of history and culture. His passion for Sicily and wealth of knowledge was evident in everything he planned, from our trips to archeological parks to exquisite hotel properties and dining experiences throughout our journey. Each day brought new experiences that opened our eyes to the diversity of culture and breaktaking landscapes of each region. Paolo is a first class guide and driver, extremely professional and a charming travel companion. We hope to have many more excursions throughout Sicily with him. We highly recommend Handy Sicily!

Sicily if mind-blowing. From the beauty of the countryside to the rich history of the cities, temples, churches and the layers of different cultures they represent, there is a never ending amount of mental stimulation. Beautiful wines, cocktails and food. Very friendly people. Two great winery tours included. Above all was the friendly, relaxed professionalism of our wonderful guide(s). Everything happened with a minimum of fuss. Excellent transport in air conditioned Mercedes Benz comfort. I recommend Handy Sicily. Highly!

This was a SPECTACULAR tour that greatly exceeded my expectations. Our tour included stops in Palermo, Erice, the Valley of the Temples, Noto, Siracusa, Taormina, and Cefalu and more. We visited a diversity of sites including amazing churches, fishing villages, Greek, Norman and Roman ruins, castles and downtown walking tours. Many of the historic locations were UNESCO World Heritage sites and are unmatched in their history, quality and beauty. The Hotel accommodations were amazing and some we’re four star, estate like and very unique. The dinner accommodations were excellent. An outdoor, evening dinner over looking the Valley of the Temples was a highlight. Barbara, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, patient and courteous. Our driver was very safe and kept a supply of water on hand. Given that the weather was hot and humid the off schedule stops at the beach for a swim was greatly appreciated by all. We were a group of ten on an air conditioned, comfortable mini bus for about twenty. There was plenty of room. There is only one way to go for a tour of Sicily and that’s with Handy Sicily. Without hesitation I would use Handy Sicily again.
