About this tour
Skip the coach queues and travel between Taormina and Palermo in your own air-conditioned car with a driver who knows the back roads. The journey takes 3–5 hours depending on stops. Rather than zone out on the motorway, you can request detours to villages, viewpoints, or lunch spots along the way, transforming a simple transfer into a proper exploration of Sicily's interior and coast.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven in a comfortable, modern car. The route covers roughly 240 kilometres of Sicilian road, passing through or near inland towns and coastal stretches depending on what you choose. If you've asked for tourist stops, the driver can pause at scenic overlooks, smaller villages, or places to eat without the pressure of a group tour schedule. Facilities are basic but reliable: climate control, charging ports, and internet to check directions or restaurant reviews.
Good to know
Book in advance to confirm your route and any stops. Drivers speak English. Infant seats must be reserved when booking. The journey can feel long without breaks, so planning one or two 15–20 minute stops helps, especially with young children.
