About this tour
Explore three UNESCO-listed Sicilian destinations across four days based in Palermo. This guided tour connects you with the Norman architecture of Monreale Cathedral, the pastel-hued coastal town of Cefalù, and Palermo's layered history. You'll have a private vehicle and bilingual guide throughout, staying in a three-star hotel or B&B with daily breakfast included. The pace suits all fitness levels and the entire experience is accessible.
Highlights
- Monreale Cathedral's Byzantine mosaics and cloistered courtyards
- Cefalù's medieval beachfront and steep hillside streets
- Palermo's Norman palaces and street markets
- Private air-conditioned transport between sites
- Bilingual guide for full-day excursions
- Three nights in central Palermo accommodation
- Fully wheelchair and pram accessible throughout
What to expect
You'll base yourself in Palermo for three nights, using it as your hub for day trips. On the full-day Monreale and Cefalù excursion, expect to spend several hours at the cathedral examining its intricate mosaics and exploring the attached monastery's quiet cloister. The drive to Cefalù follows the coast, and you'll have time to wander its narrow lanes and waterfront before returning to Palermo. The remaining days allow you to navigate Palermo's centro storico at your own pace or with your guide, moving between aristocratic palaces, baroque churches, and the sensory overload of its famous street markets.
Good to know
Breakfast is provided daily at your accommodation; plan meals separately. Entrance fees to monuments are not included. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven medieval streets. The bilingual guide is available for full excursions; you can explore Palermo independently on non-guided days. Service animals and specialised equipment for infants are accommodated.
