About this tour
Trace your Sicilian heritage across six to seven hours with a guide who knows the island's stories. Starting with your family history, you'll visit ancestral towns, walk through historical quarters, and eat what locals eat. The driver handles transport; you handle the emotional work of reconnecting with where your people come from. If genealogy interests you, that's on the table too.
Highlights
- Visit your ancestor's hometown with local historical context
- Taste authentic Sicilian dishes in family-run spots
- Meet residents who may share your family name
- Explore churches and markets your relatives knew
- Optional genealogical research during the tour
- Private air-conditioned transport throughout
What to expect
Your guide will start by discussing what you know about your family's origins, then navigate you through the relevant towns and landmarks. Expect to walk through older neighbourhoods, stop at modest churches and local markets, and spend time in conversation—both with your guide and anyone willing to chat about local history. Food happens at casual spots rather than tourist restaurants. The genealogy piece depends on your interest; some visitors just want the visual experience of standing where ancestors stood.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so plan where you'd like to eat. Bring comfortable walking shoes. The tour suits all fitness levels, though older town centres involve some stairs. Prams and infant seats available if needed.
