The Medieval town knows how to draw a crowd, with pastel-painted houses lining a sweeping bay and a huge limestone cliff delivering a dramatic backdrop. But on this two-hour walking tour, your guide will spill the beans on what it's like to be a local here, living and breathing among the striking Arab-Norman architecture and winding alleyways. As well as seeing the big hitters, like the cathedral, the old bathhouse and the seafront promenade, you'll get insider tips on which trattoria's serve the best arancini and where the most authentic souvenirs can be snagged.

Traditional Sicilian cooking class from Cefalu

Inside a traditional Sicilian home, you'll be welcomed with an aperitivo and the cosy buzz of a real family kitchen.

As evening draws in, you'll sit down with the group to enjoy the meal you've made together, complete with local wine and a classic dessert. Before you head out, you'll receive handwritten recipes so you can recreate the experience at home.

Cefalu walking tour with Sicilian nibbles and Prosecco

Along one of Sicily's rare sweeps of sandy beach sits Cefalu, a Medieval city with a maze of alleyways that were made for a walking tour. You'll meet your local guide and begin your three-hour tour in the historical centre. One of the biggest draws of Cefalu is its distinctive Arab-Norman architecture. You'll see it for yourself as you wonder by Cefalu Cathedral, the old bathhouse and the fortified walls around the marina. Head up La Rocca, an enormous limestone cliff, and walk the path there for a new perspective overlooking the town. You'll round off the trip with some local delicacies, served with a chilled glass of Sicilian Prosecco.

Castelbuono visit and Sicilian dinner in the Madonie Mountains

Swap Cefalu's buzzy seaside scene for the simple pleasures of hill-top towns and farm estates in the Madonie Mountains. The beaches and coastline blur into olive groves and rural valleys as your bus makes the scenic journey to Castelbuono in the late afternoon. Mirco, an expert local guide, explains the significance of the town, “Castelbuono has always been a crossroads between the mountains and the sea — which is why you'll see so many layers here, from Norman walls to Baroque churches, all wrapped into a living town.”You'll have around an hour and a half to wander the narrow stone streets, where every archway frames another impressive view of this Medieval town. Among the palazzos and historic churches, though, the crowning glory of Castelbuono has to be the 14th-century fortress, Castello dei Ventimiglia. It's now open as a museum, so as well as taking time to appreciate the slower pace of the town and perhaps grabbing a gelato, you can take a look around the castle's exhibits of timeworn treasures and contemporary art collection. Mirco adds, “The Ventimiglia family built this castle to control the mountain routes. Today, it tells a very different story – from ancient archaeology to modern Sicilian artists.”In the evening, you'll head to Tenuta Luogo Marcese, a rural, agritourism-style farm estate. Sit on the terracotta-tiled terrace and enjoy a relaxed three-course dinner of seasonal Sicilian dishes, all prepared with local ingredients. Best of all, dinner comes with views of the sun setting over the Madonie hills.

Mount Etna winery tour and tasting experience

You'll discover the subtle layers of Sicily's flavours with this relaxed wine-tasting experience on the scenic slopes of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. Expert guide, Mirco, explains, “On Etna, different lava flows sit side by side, so the soil, or terroir as it's known, can change over very short distances, and that shows up in the wine. That's why tasting here isn't about labels – it's about standing on the land, feeling the volcano under your feet, and recognising it in every sip.”As views of the seaside fade in the rear-view mirror, their replaced by endless rows of vines carpeting the countryside and staggering up the hillsides. In the heart of Sicily's volcanic wine region, you'll visit a winery, known as a cantina, where centuries-old traditions are not only respected, but very much still in action. Your expert guide will lead you through the cantina, teaching you about the history, volcanic soils, and traditional wine-making techniques that give Etna's wines their signature freshness, minerality, and aromatic flare.Then comes the best part, the tasting. With the volcano anchoring your view of the rolling landscape, you'll be served four premium local wines to taste. These are matched with local cheeses, cured meats and olives, giving you a truly authentic taste of Sicily. Paired with the relaxed atmosphere and warm hospitality, whether you choose the morning or afternoon visit, it's a moment to remember long after you finish your last glass.

Full-day Randazzo and Alcantara Gorge tour from Taormina

This full-day Sicilian tour begins in Randazzo, a Medieval town on Mount Etna's northern slopes. After a guided walk and some free time to wander its lava-stone streets, churches and shops, you'll head to Alcantara Gorge. Shaped by ancient lava flows and the Alcantara River that runs through it, you'll have three hours to swim in natural pools, walk the trails, snap photos or rent gear for optional extra water fun like river trekking and body rafting. After a day exploring local life and Sicily's natural beauty, you'll make your way back to your hotel.
