INSIEME
YOUR SMALL GROUP WITHIN A GROUP
Travel with your own small group on an Insieme, weaving in and out of a scheduled trip with other guests. With an extra van, your small group has even more flexibility to tailor your experience.
All Tours of Sicily-Palermo Excursions trips are about choice: each day you decide which of the various options best fit your pace and style. But we know sometimes you want even more flexibility—to sleep in a little later, or explore a bit further, or check out a sight you’ve always wanted to see. So we’ve created a way for you and a few companions to have an incredible vacation while doing just what you'd like to do and still enjoying the guest camaraderie of the core trip.
It's Easy: just rally a group of friends or family (from 5 people up to seven) and tell us where and when you’d like to INSIEME, choosing from thousands of travel dates. We’ll set you up with a dedicated Trip Leader, your own support van and an even more flexible itinerary so you and your companions can do your own thing—while benefiting from all the fun, planning, logistics and legendary service of a core Tour of Sicily trip.
The Additional Cost can be divided
among your entire group.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
• INSIEME is not a private or custom trip.
• For small groups of family or friends traveling together–but not on a Private Trip–Insieme helps to lessen any awkward dynamics of a group within a group.
Every Tour of Sicily-Palermo Excursions Trip invites you to explore a region your way.
Insieme-You-Can makes it even more flexible -and extra personal- for you and your special group!

Blog ... and Storytelling
Italy is the country that captures my heart every time. It is one of the main inspirations behind this travel blog, especially Sicily which is the island where I live.
From its vibrant cities to the gorgeous lakes and coast, the landscapes will get you first. There is truly something to enchant everyone. The country’s famous tourist attractions are popular for good reason but it’s also been my mission to uncover the best kept secrets in Italy, history, archaeology, landscape, food and wine, legends, off the beaten track are very special and I want to help you discover them.
