We’ve often visited the classic sites of the north, join us now as we turn south on a tour of Sicily, in search of a less-visited Italy, a more traditional corner of this storied land of picturesque countryside, quaint hill towns, delightful islands, ancient ruins, and exquisite food. Highlights of this Sicily walking tour include: Erice, a walled, mountain-top village built by medieval Norman Vikings with commanding views of the plains and Mediterranean Sea below; Agrigento, a 5th century B.C. Greek ghost town filled with the marble remnants of a once thriving classical Greek city which was demolished by invading Carthaginians; Taormina, a delightful city on the sea not without its own Greek monuments, but also tempting as a delightful old town with the best granita cold drinks in Italy – and more!

Join us for the Pompeii, Amalfi, & Capri Pre-tour and experience a walk through Pompeii’s archeological digs, followed by a short hike to the throat of Mount Vesuvius, source of a volcanic explosion that rocked the ancient world; along with a chance to view Capri’s whitewashed villas, sweeping Mediterranean panoramas, lemon trees, and narrow winding lanes – and more!
