A magical two weeks.
Very well organised and a comprehensive itinerary offering a good understanding of the fascinating present day culture and the history of the island. Enough free time to explore whatever we wished – or just to relax and enjoy watching the Sicilian world go by. Our tour leader Tiziano was the key to the success of the Grand Tour, communicating his knowledge of Sicily with an infectious passion.

Sian Owen Sicily Grand Tour
Alex Morris The Silk RoadThis is an incredible trip visiting 3 Stans, and all very different from each other. The scenery and hiking in Kyrgyzstan was spectacular and the Golden Eagle experience was a real highlight. Uzbekistan was such a contrast to the first 2 countries and some of the sights were breathtakingly beautiful.
All of the countries were fascinating in their own way and our guides Vitaliy and Dilshod were excellent! Both very knowledgeable and gave us great insights and the history of each place we visited.
Kurt Mills Sicily Grand TourAs with our other Exodus adventures, the trip was very well organised with a comprehensive itinerary. We did a loop of the island and saw most things you would want to see. There was good mix of temples and other ruins (Greek, Roman, etc.) and we got a good understanding of the complex history of the island (given that pretty much every empire, colonial power, etc. over the last 3000 years had bulldozed their way through the island). Our excellent leader Tiziano (more below) introduced us to the culture, food, etc. of Sicily. The itinerary was full-on, but there was time to slow down and explore. The local guides were very good. A particular shout out to Vanessa who showed us around Catania and Neapolis with a fun, honest, and critical eye.

“Our Culture tours cover a huge range of destinations and experiences. One of my favorites for this style of travel is Central Asia. The rich history of traders, despots and sparkling architecture along the Silk Road is fascinating, plus the mountain scenery of the Pamirs in Tajikistan and Tian Shan in Kyrgyzstan is almost unrivalled.”
