"Each of the five tours I've enjoyed has been outstanding in every respect: great leadership, charming and often small hotels, excellent cuisine, and entry into lovely private homes and garden"
"Our recent Morocco tour was well organized, a wonderful itinerary, and gave us access to private gardens and local homes that would not have been otherwise possible."

Come with us to experience the history, landscapes, artistic and culinary traditions of Sicily. The island is rich in classical Greek ruins and remarkable Roman mosaics set in romantic Mediterranean scenery. We begin in Palermo, with its fascinating collection of medieval monuments. We will see a wide range of plants on leisurely nature walks, discover ancient hilltop cities with panoramic views over the valleys, and explore quaint fishing villages. Our journey ends in lovely, seaside Taormina, where an optional extension is available. This unique tour is planned for a small group; we hope you will join us!
