If you are going to Sicily - which I highly recommend - make a point of using Passage to Sicily! Their team gave us an experience second to none and absolutely made our trip. Firstly, they are exceptionally qualified. Both Alessandra Buccheri and Jean-Marie Schmidt, who we had the most to do with, are Oxford graduates (she in Art History... More

We recently spent time touring Sicily in the company of Dr. Alessandra Buccheri, a renaissance art historian, and Pier Francesco, an archeologist. Their in depth knowledge in their respective fields, coupled with their warm personalities, created a very special experience for us. They tailored our trip to suit our interests and suggested sights that were not listed in the tour... More

A friend and I had a few days in Palermo before joining a tour of Sicily. We decided to do a few things with A Passage to Sicily to try to make maximum use of our time. We went on the day trip to cook and eat lunch. This was an interesting experience and although the fish was fresh and... More

Villa overlooking sea some 30 kms outside of Palermo in a fishing village Santa Flavia, Porticello - this was the perfect place to learn to cook and taste some of Sicily's great dishes using locally sourced fish and fruit and vegetables from the tutors' garden. Personalised patient teachers - a husband and wife team of top class chefs - overcame... More

Passage to Sicily opened the door to us to better learn and share in the rich culture of Sicily. The team at Passage to Sicily were all incredible to work with, and the passion with which they showed us the various great locations was truly top notch. We would have had an amazing vacation just because Sicily is such a... More

Thanks to the expert advise and experienced guides, our trip to Sicily was remarkable. Their recommendations included unique places to stay, charming restaurants,and excellent guided tours in Palermo and Valley Of The Temples. Our 19 year old son was with us, on holidays from his first year of University in Scotland. He soaked up the knowledge. We knew the trip... More

Passage to Sicily created a customized multi-day experience for our family and friends that was perfect. They catered to our wide ranging interests and managed to keep adults and children interested and were very flexible. We did everything from museums, churches and markets. We even visited the village where my family originates and had a private tour of the chapel... More

My boyfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful time last year with the Passage to Sicily team. We had had a tough working year, and the unique mix of relaxed afternoons at stunning beaches (the water is so clear!), the team's fun and truly informative tours of Palermo and the simply amazing food was just the thing we needed.

I highly recommend Passage to Sicily. I spent five days in Palermo travelling by myself, looking for my Sicilian roots. I arranged a variety of tours with them, two afternoon excursions in Palermo, a trip to Segesta and a custom-made excursion to my Great-Grandfather's village, Vicari. The whole experience was absolutely a dream come true. The staff are incredibly knowledgable... More
