What people love about Sicily Tours for Seniors
- The Sicilian
Very good tour. Loved almost all the planned destinations and speculate tour guides. It was hot! Therefore a little challenging at times. Would have liked a little mid afternoon down time to exercise, use pool and rest. We did have a few days that offered this and it made the evening better. Otherwise everything was great. It would be nice to have a choice on food as well but understand feeding 40 people is not easy. The food was very good in most places.
I have been traveling for the past 50 years and have visited many countries, I had never taken a tour before my travel mates and I took the the Southern Sicily tour. We chose GAdventures for this trip because the tour group was small, and because the tour visited so many of the major sites in Sicily. We were extremely lucky to have Luca as our tour leader. He was a wealth of information, and his love for Sicily was contagious. Luca took the time to get to know everyone in our small group and that added a personal touch to the tour. I recommend GAdventures tours without hesitation. It was just the best experience!
Explore Southern Sicily
We were the group of 8 friends traveling to Sicily for the first time. Our trip was amazing with Sicily Activities arranging everything. If you want a really special and comfortable experience, book with them - you won’t be disappointed. All the team was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Overall the top experience from first contact through arriving back home!

What our customers ask about Sicily Tours for Seniors
When is the best time for seniors to visit Sicily Islands?
Plan your visit to Sicily between April-May or September-October. The weather stays pleasant at 20-25°C and you'll find fewer tourists at major sites. These months let you explore comfortably without the intense summer heat that can reach above 40°C in July and August. Tourist spots like Taormina and Syracuse are also less crowded. A TourRadar traveler shared: "May was perfect weather for exploring - not too hot for walking tours in Palermo and comfortable for visiting outdoor sites like the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento."
What is the typical age range for senior tours in Sicily Islands?
Most travelers on Sicily tours are between 61-65 years old though many tours welcome guests up to 80. Tour operators like Soleto Travel design their trips with older travelers in mind choosing hotels that cater to seniors. Properties like the Mercure Palermo Centro and Hotel Villa Angela in Taormina offer locations and services that work well for older guests based on TourRadar reviews.
What type of accommodation is provided on senior tours in Sicily?
Senior tours typically stay in 4-star hotels equipped with modern comforts and easy access. Places like Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa in Palermo and Villa Diodoro in Taormina come with elevators air conditioning and central locations. As one TourRadar guest noted: "The hotels were much better than expected. The Hotel Livingston in Syracuse was fantastic with breathtaking views and well-prepared breakfasts." Hotels can often arrange ground floor rooms for guests who prefer to avoid stairs.
How are meals handled on Sicily Islands senior tours?
Your tour includes daily hotel breakfasts plus several group meals featuring local dishes. Most packages such as Sicily Activities' Food & Wine tour provide 7 breakfasts and 5-6 main meals. This leaves room to explore local restaurants on your own. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The food and wine experiences were plentiful and well-organized with plenty of breaks between courses." Tours select accessible restaurants like Trattoria Il Barcaiolo in Taormina that serve authentic Sicilian food.
What is the typical group size for senior tours in Sicily?
Most tours accommodate 20-40 people while premium options limit groups to 15-20 travelers. A TourRadar guest observed: "Our group of 20 was perfect - not too large to move around easily and everyone got personal attention from our guide. The smaller group size made it much more enjoyable for us seniors."
