Save on Small Business Saturday
It’s Small Business Saturday. That means exciting stuff for you! As I prepare our 2018 multi-sensory, small-group tours and custom itineraries for our independent clients, I keep reminding myself that the most memorable moments of travel are interaction with locals. We survey all of our clients upon their return from Sicily, and more often than…
Rich With Porcini
Pappardelle pasta with porcini mushrooms served at Taverna al Paladino in Taormina; Porcini mushrooms are in season right now, especially in the region of Etna, where locals have been foraging in the forest for mushrooms for the past few weeks. Savor Sicily’s culture, cuisine, and history with us next year! When you reserve your spot…
Inhale Sicily
I want you to inhale Sicily, and a boat trip through Lo Zingaro nature preserve will enable you to do just that–and dive in too!

I’m On A Boat
There’s nothing like being on a boat! (Remember the SNL video short “I’m on a Boat!”?) Well, last week I was on a catamaran with Captain Vito, leaving Castellammare del Golfo behind… The wind in my hair, the sun warming my skin, the salty sea teaming with happy fish (We even saw a dolphin!) ……
