What people love about touring Sicily solo
- New Tour of Sicily from Palermo 10 Days
This was an "interesting" tour where guides are changed half way through. For the first two days, we had two guides speaking 3 different languages. A lot of time wasted. Please make at lease some of your tours "English only", "Italian only" etc. Placido was excellent - organised, enthusiastic but got people organised. Can't say enough great things about him.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
The tour guide, Placido, was excellent as well as the bus driver. They had good rapport with the group. We saw amazing sights, the accommodations were good, especially in Agrigento, and the commentary was good. Some things to improve: it should be highlighted that this is a WALKING tour and requires some mobility. We had three people who were challenged daily and the group was significantly slowed down as a result; also, there should be better communication between the tour company and cities and provinces about local events which might hinder the passage of the tour bus. (In our case it was a cycling race, which made it impossible to cross the road to our destination of Marsala and a wine tasting.) ; and finally, each day there were additional costs to get into sights. Each day it should be mentioned which places are optional and at what cost. We have already mentioned the tour to people we have met with good reviews but the above improvements would make it even better.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily and Malta 11 days
Pace of the tour was great. Hotels were in excellent locations. Angelo our tour guide was sentational. Would recommend adding an extra night on Agrigento so time could be allocated to use beach and hotel facilities.
What our customers ask about Sicily Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical cost of single supplements on Sicily Islands tours?
The cost of having your own room on Sicily tours ranges from $290 to $450. This price varies based on when you travel and the hotels used. You'll stay in 4-star properties such as Mercure Palermo Centro and Il Principe Hotel in Catania. Some tour companies help match solo travelers with roommates to avoid the extra cost. The supplement includes private rooms in well-located hotels throughout the trip.
How easy is it to meet other travelers as a solo participant on Sicily Islands tours?
Group activities naturally bring travelers together on Sicily tours whether at wine tastings in Marsala's Florio Cellars or during cooking classes in Taormina. Hotels like Ariston in Taormina and Livingston in Syracuse provide comfortable spaces where guests often gather. Groups usually include 8 to 12 travelers making it easy to get to know everyone. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We had a group of 8 that all got on so well which made the tour even more memorable."
Which areas of Sicily Islands are most welcoming for solo travelers?
The historic areas of Taormina Syracuse's Ortigia district and Palermo welcome solo visitors with easy-to-navigate streets outdoor cafes and vibrant evening life. Places like Hotel Livingston in Ortigia give you a central base for exploring. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Ortigia was my favorite - the little island was very manageable and Hotel Livingston was fantastic. The view from our window was breathtaking and it was easy to explore independently."
What is the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Sicily Islands?
Plan your visit during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and tourist spots are less crowded. Statistics show that 35% of solo travelers book their trips in September and October. These months also offer better rates at popular hotels like Ariston in Taormina and Garibaldi in Palermo.
What safety considerations should solo travelers keep in mind in Sicily Islands?
Solo travelers can feel secure in Sicily especially when traveling with a guided group. The main tourist areas of Taormina Catania and Syracuse offer well-lit streets and busy evening scenes. Hotel staff at places like Mercure Palermo Centro can point you toward safe areas to explore. One TourRadar traveler confirmed: "I felt completely safe throughout the trip even when exploring independently in the evenings."
How much free time do solo travelers get during Sicily tours?
Tours usually set aside 2-3 hours daily for personal exploration especially during evenings in cities like Taormina and Palermo. From bases like Hotel Garibaldi in Palermo you can easily venture into nearby historic areas. A TourRadar traveler noted: "There was a good mix of organized activities and free time which allowed us to explore places of personal interest while still having the security of the group."
