“Our family had a wonderful experience exploring Palermo through Passage to Sicily. Our visit was beautifully organized to combine our interests in history, art and culture.
We enjoyed learning more about Sicily’s rich past, visiting ancient sites, seeing today’s colorful markets and eating delicious food everywhere from street stands to formal restaurants.
Alessandra maintained the enthusiasm of children and adults alike. Her willingness to explore my family’s connection to some of the smaller towns like Porticello made our time in Sicily truly memorable.
Passage to Sicily is a great resource for anyone who wants a tailor-made immersion in Sicilian culture”.

“As a former, independently minded traveller … the kind of person who wouldn’t bother with a break with an ‘itinerary’ & certainly not a ‘tour’…
I’m now suffering from withdrawal symptoms from my newly discovered surrogate Sicilian siblings …
I’m so indebted to these lovely people for this introduction to Sicily – the art, the natural beaches, the wine, the food !!!
Do i really have to say anymore?
Now for all you thinking that you’re going to book out my remaining time on earth ther: it was a horrible trip! You won’t like it! … Don’t go!”.
