We believe our Hidden Sicily tour is something special – we visit places on the island that are each, in some way magical, and yet not easily accessible. It is the perfect tour for those interested in photography or wild-flowers, or those who have seen the main sights of Sicily and wish to explore further. We travel in a small group (maximum twelve people)
