Description
Few countries ooze as much of a romantic appeal as Italy does. From the language to the architecture, Italy is often dreamed of as the postcard perfect place to take sunset strolls in historic towns or seaside villages. Our Southern Italy tours are the chance to explore an island of great beauty, where shorelines give way to tranquil blue waters and rolling hills are awash with fragrant orange and lemon groves.

On our Southern Italy tours you'll discover a region with a timeless history and a busy modern capital, but still retains every bit of its awe inspiring charms.

Every introduction to our Southern Italy tours, whether it is the first visit to the country or one of many, starts off with a deep dive into ancient history and its connection with modern culture.

Cities like Palermo date back 2,700 years and with a wander through the market, one can appreciate how life has been lived over the centuries. Fishmongers go about their day selling octopus and squid in markets located by 16th century plazas, complete with sculpted fountains, 15th century town halls and 12th century churches encrusted with Byzantine mosaics.

Being so close to ancient Greece, it is not uncommon to find Greek temples such as those in Agrigento or Siracusa at home in the landscape. A fusion of other empires have also impacted the architectural makeup of the area, from Normans to Arabs, and even to the Catalan elements best discovered in Sicily's Taormina.

Cities like Taormina offer the chance to explore the natural wonders of Italy, with Mt Etna looming in its shadow as one of the world's most active volcanoes. Of course Pompeii is naturally a better known volcano in Italy's history, and none of our Southern Italy tours are complete without a visit to the city covered in volcanic ash and pumice stone by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

Moving on to the mainland of Italy, our journey continues to the Amalfi coast, one of the world's most stunning coastlines. A winding road, carved out of the rock in the mid-19th century, leads to a resort town on the Italian coast that truly exemplifies the meaning of la dolce vita.

Delicious wines and perfect pastas beckon travellers to pause on their walking tours of the city with its 13th century cathedral. On our Southern Italy tours we dine each night in a local establishment to ensure the quality of food is nothing less than a well fed local would indulge in.

Indeed the cultural riches found across the country will be as impressive as the culinary adventures in each region.

From the laid back lifestyles found on the island of Sicily or the postcard perfect Amalfi sunsets we reach the finale of our Southern Italy tour in Rome, realizing as we go this is a country as grand as it is memorable.

We know nearly everyone will throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, as it is said that this action confirms you will return to Rome again safely in the future. From our years of experience in touring Italy, we know this is one destination that is hard to get enough of.

Trip Info
  • Seasonality and Weather:
    If you’re a fan of milder weather and less-crowded travel experiences, either spring or fall is the perfect times to plan your Italian adventure. Italy is fortunate to have a temperate climate most of the year, with the summer months (June, July, and August) being the hottest.

    SPRING
    The weather in Sicily in May is characterized by an abundance of sunshine and gentle breezes, offering an average of 10-11 hours of daylight for exploration. As the average temperature in Sicily in May is about 18C, this month encapsulates the allure of Sicily in spring.

    FALL
    In Campania and Sicily, fall weather remains comfortably warm, with daytime temperatures ranging from 20-25C (68-77°F) and cooler evenings at around 14-18C (57-64°F). The coastal regions, such as the Amalfi Coast and Naples, offer an enjoyable seaside experience with temperatures ranging from 18-23C (64-73°F) during the day and around 12-17C (54-63°F) in the evenings.
  • Transport and Travel Conditions:
    Transport throughout by private air-conditioned motor coach, 24-36 seats depending on ultimate group size (see 'group size'). Though we will have some full bus days, road travel is not particularly arduous as there are plenty of stops of interest and beautiful scenery along the way. Roads are in good condition, though a little winding on some stretches. Short daytime ferry crossing.

    This trip is typical of most of our European tours, which are ambitious and involve full days of travel and sightseeing. While we don't have any actual strenuous activity (ie hiking) built into the program, you will do a lot of walking on this trip. These walks will mostly be in the form of walking tours of towns and cities and short walks to dinner. Being Europe, and a hilly/mountainous area, cobbles, uneven surfaces, and slopes/stairs are common. If you are accustomed to typical "bus tours," which rely heavily on vehicular transport for all sightseeing activities, you should be aware that this tour is considerably more active.



    Am I suitable for this tour? Please refer to our self-assessment form
  • Activity Level: 2
    These are particularly busy tours that feature a lot of moving around, sometimes by train and short journeys on local transport. Walking tours of towns and cities are leisurely but you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. Some of our cultural trips that occur at high altitude and/or require greater independence with baggage handling (at hotels, airports, train stations) also fall into this category.

    To learn more about the Activity levels, please visit our tour styles page.
  • Accommodation:
    Well-located, air- conditioned, mid-range hotels and inns (3-4 star) used throughout. Porter service is sometimes available (see 'inclusions') though you should be independent with your luggage. Single rooms are limited and likely smaller than twins.

    Please click on the “Map & Hotels” tab for more information.
  • Staff and Support:
    Tour Leader throughout, driver (s), local step-on guides in various locales.
  • Group Size:
    Maximum 18 plus Tour Leader

  • Day 1: 
    Arrive in Palermo
    Welcome to Sicily, where ancient civilizations have layered their stories across sun-baked stones for nearly three millennia. As you transfer to our hotel in Palermo, you'll enter a city that has witnessed Phoenicians, Arabs, Normans, and countless others shape its character. The capital's streets tell tales through their architecture—a living museum where Byzantine domes nestle beside Norman towers, and Arab-influenced markets spill their colours beneath Spanish baroque facades. Tonight we gather with fellow travellers for our first evening meal, beginning a journey through Italy's most storied landscapes.

    Overnight in Palermo.

     

    Included Meal(s): Dinner
  • Day 2: 
    Palermo: City Tour
    We plunge into the sensory symphony of Il Capo market, where fishmongers display magnificent sword fish alongside glistening octopus, and Sicily's agricultural bounty creates a painter's palette of colours. Mount Etna's volcanic soil produces crisp apples, while Arab-introduced citrus trees offer their golden treasures. We sample fresh ricotta and pungent pecorino cheese, understanding how this island's fertility has sustained civilizations for centuries.

    We then move to Piazza Praetoria, where the "fountain of shame" shocked 16th-century locals with its renaissance nudes—a testament to Sicily's complex relationship with outside influences. The baroque Quattro Canti divides the old city into four quarters, each corner representing a season and a Spanish monarch. At the Martorana Church, we witness the extraordinary fusion of Arab-Norman architecture, its interior ablaze with Byzantine mosaics that shimmer like captured starlight.

    Our journey concludes at Monreale, the "Royal Mountain," where Norman King William II constructed a cathedral to demonstrate his kingdom's sophistication. We finish at the remarkable Church and Monastery of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, where Dominican nuns once perfected the art of sweet-making in these very cloisters. The convent's rooftop terraces provide sweeping views across Palermo's piazzas, while the onsite bakery I Segreti del Chiostro continues centuries-old traditions.

    As this is a large site, we end today's formal tour here so you can choose to linger and explore on your own before gathering for dinner this evening.

    Overnight in Palermo.

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 3: 
    Palermo - Segesta - Selinunte - Agrigento
    We journey across Sicily's ancient Greek heartland, where colonies once rivalled Athens in wealth and ambition. Sicily was part of Magna Graecia—when mainland Greece grew overcrowded in the 8th century BC, bold settlers sailed west seeking new fortunes. To them, Sicily represented what the Americas would mean to 16th-century Europeans: vast possibilities, untold riches, and considerable dangers.

    Our first stop is Segesta, where a perfectly preserved Doric temple stands as testimony to Greek architectural mastery. This powerful city-state waged bitter wars with its rival Selinunte, our next destination. After a break for lunch, we explore Selinunte's magnificent ruins, once home to over 100,000 inhabitants and boasting an unrivalled temple-building program. Lost to history until a Dominican monk rediscovered its location in the 16th century, these temples rank among the ancient world's most impressive monuments.

    We continue to Agrigento, where tomorrow we'll witness Sicily's most spectacular Greek legacy.

    Overnight in Agrigento

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 4: 
    Agrigento: Site Tour - Piazza Armerina - Enna
    We begin among Agrigento's magnificent temples, where five elevated structures create a picture-perfect tribute to ancient paganism's enduring power. Time, earthquakes, Punic Wars, and Christianity's rise have all tested these World Heritage landmarks, yet they remain defiant against Sicily's azure sky.

    Next, we travel inland to explore Villa Romana del Casale near Piazza Armerina, a vast 4th-century complex that may have belonged to co-emperor Maximianus. This archaeological treasure houses some of the world's most beautiful Roman mosaics, including detailed hunting scenes, mythological images, and the delightful "bikini girls" performing ancient aerobics—proof that athletic fashion has ancient roots.

    We then proceed to Enna, perched high in Sicily's interior. You'll have free time to explore this mountain town, perhaps visiting the Castello di Lombardia or Torre di Federico II for stunning panoramic views; your Tour Leader will point you in the right direction.

    Overnight in Enna

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 5: 
    Enna - Siracusa: Archaeological Park
    We travel toward Sicily's eastern coast, coming within sight of Mount Etna's imposing slopes. At 3313m (10,866 feet), Etna stands as one of Earth's most active volcanoes—both blessing and curse for local inhabitants. While volcanic soil creates extraordinary fertility, the constant threat of eruption looms; Catania was nearly buried by lava flows in 1669.

    We arrive in Siracusa (Syracuse) and tour the Archaeological Park, including the Greek theatre where ancient dramas once echoed, the Monumental Altar of Hieron II, and the Latomia del Paradiso quarry with its famous "Ear of Dionysius." After a break for lunch, we explore Ortygia, old Siracusa's historic heart, wandering narrow streets where we discover the Temple of Apollo, Fountain of Aretusa, the main piazza, and the remarkable Duomo—a former Temple of Athena transformed into a Christian cathedral.

    Overnight in Siracusa.

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 6: 
    Siracusa - Mount Etna - Taormina
    We depart Siracusa and drive up the east coast toward Taormina, with stunning views of Mount Etna dominating our horizon. We'll make a detour and drive up Etna's slopes—have a sweater handy as we'll be approaching 1,800m (6,000 ft)! (Depending on weather, we may explore Mount Etna tomorrow instead.) This is Europe's highest volcano and one of the world's most active; its spectacular eruptions and fiery lava flows have fascinated scientists and visitors for millennia.

    We continue to Taormina, arguably Sicily's most beautiful town—an ancient hilltop settlement full of history and culture, perfectly positioned between mountains and sea. Taormina's reputation for welcoming travellers spans centuries, combining incredible heritage in archaeology and architecture with genuine Sicilian hospitality.

    Overnight in Taormina.

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 7: 
    Taormina: City Touring
    We begin with a leisurely walking tour starting at the almost perfectly-preserved Greco-Roman amphitheatre, Taormina's greatest treasure. This 3rd-century cliff-side arena once seated 5,000 spectators, with Mount Etna framed perfectly as a backdrop to the 1,800-year-old stage—a setting that continues to inspire artists and performers today.

    We explore the Palazzo Corvaia with its fascinating blend of Arab, Norman, and Catalan elements, where Sicily's first parliament convened in 1410. The charming Corso Umberto I pedestrian street runs the town's length, lined with shops and boutiques leading to Piazza IX Aprile, where lovely views stretch across Naxos harbour to the Italian mainland. Above us rises the medieval fortress, while in Piazza del Duomo, Taormina's 15th-century basilica stands beside a fountain topped by the town's symbol: a female centaur statue.

    The afternoon is yours for independent exploration of this enchanting town.

    Overnight in Taormina

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 8: 
    Taormina, Sicily - Paestum, Italian Mainland
    We take a short ferry ride from Sicily to the Italian mainland and proceed by motor coach to Paestum, where three Doric Greek temples rank among the world's best preserved, rivalling those of Sicily and Athens. Originally built without mortar or cement—simply covered by terra-cotta tile roofs supported by wooden beams—these temples survived even the great earthquake of AD 69 that reduced Pompeii to rubble.

    After periods of native Italian control in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, Paestum fell to Rome in 273 BC and was renamed. It remained a Roman town until deforestation of nearby hills turned the area into swampy marshland. Plagued by malaria and pirates, Paestum's ruins lay relatively untouched until rediscovered in the 18th century.

    Overnight in Paestum

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 9: 
    Paestum - National Archaeological Museum - Pompeii
    We travel to Naples where we see the colourful harbour front and Castel dell'Ovo, a 12th-century fortress built on ancient villa ruins, before visiting the National Archaeological Museum. This impressive facility houses one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. Built on Santa Teresa Hill as military barracks, later transformed into a university campus, it was remodelled in 1790 to receive the treasures of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

    We then visit ancient Pompeii, dug out from volcanic ash and pumice stone deposited by Mount Vesuvius's eruption in AD 79. This entire area provides a fantastic record of how ordinary Romans lived their daily lives. We explore the House of Vetti, the most elegant of Pompeii's villas, and examine the intriguing House of Mysteries. The nearby House of Faun occupies an entire city block with four different dining parlours and two spacious gardens.

    Overnight in Pompeii

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 10: 
    Pompeii: Herculaneum & the Amalfi Coast
    This morning we visit Herculaneum, a small town that was buried under Vesuvius's lava. Our tour here will include the baths, which were built during the reign of Agustus. An outstanding example of how the aristocracy lived is provided at the Casa dei Cervi.

    We then drive along the famous Amalfi Coast on a winding road carved out of the rock in the mid-19th century. This scenic and unforgettable drive takes us to Amalfi, a resort town on the peninsula of the same name where we take a walking tour of the city. We will see the beautiful Duomo cathedral with its 13th century bell tower, the main square of the town, and the Cloister of Paradise.

    After a break for lunch and some free time in Amalfi, we take the ferry to the port of Salerno where our bus will be waiting. This is a great way to truly experience the spectacular coastline with this relaxing journey (calm weather-permitting!).

    On arrival in Salerno we'll rejoin our bus and return to our Pompeii hotel.

    Overnight in Pompeii.

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 11: 
    Pompeii - Monte Cassino - Rome
    Today's journey takes us to north to Rome via Monte Cassino. During the Roman Empire, the abbey located here was one of the great European centres of Christendom and one of the largest repositories of ancient learning. In 1944, Monte Cassino was destroyed by the Allied forces who suspected that it was occupied by German troops. The military cemetery on the nearby hill contains the graves of 1,100 Polish soldiers who lost their lives in the final assault.

    Later we continue to Rome.

    Overnight in Rome.

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 12: 
    Rome: City Tour
    We begin our guided tour at the 2,000-year-old Colosseum, built to seat 55,000 spectators for Rome's most brutal gladiatorial combats. We walk through the Roman Forum where we see the Curia, Rostra, Temple of Vesta, Basilica of Constantine, and Arch of Titus. Continuing upward, we reach the Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill), seat of the Roman Senate since the 12th century and the city's original citadel. This beautiful square was redesigned by Michelangelo in the 16th century.

    We arrive at Piazza Navona where we can break for lunch at restaurants and cafes surrounding the square. Here we admire the impressive Fountain of the Four Rivers, with detailed figures representing the Nile, Ganges, Danube, and Plate rivers.

    We continue to the famous Trevi Fountain, designed by Nicholas Salvi in 1732, its water supplied by one of Rome's earliest aqueducts. Throwing a coin ensures your safe return to Rome. We also visit the temple-turned-church Pantheon and admire its perfect proportions on our way to the Spanish Steps, where we finish today's tour.

    NOTE: Due to traffic problems and the fact that today's sites are reasonably close to each other, much of today's tour will occur on foot and with Rome's efficient public transit system (cost of tickets included). Any sightseeing not accomplished today will be moved to tomorrow afternoon.

    Overnight in Rome

     

    Included Meal(s): Breakfast and Dinner
  • Day 13: 
    Rome: the Vatican Museums & St. Peter's
    We travel by metro to the west side of the Tiber River and begin our visit to Vatican City with a guided tour through the immense Vatican Museums. This amazing collection houses some of the world's most important Greek and Roman sculptures, Renaissance paintings, Flemish tapestries, and mosaics. Understandably, this collection attracts more than 3 million visitors annually. We also visit Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel to absorb its breathtaking frescoes.

    Entering the cavernous interior of St. Peter's Basilica, we appreciate its many treasures, including Michelangelo's Pietà. At the Vatican tour's conclusion, we visit the elegantly symmetrical Piazza St. Pietro.

    After a break for lunch, we continue with any sightseeing carried over from yesterday.

    NOTE: The timing/order of today's sightseeing can vary depending on seasonality. Early spring and late fall tours can often begin in the morning due to lighter crowds. Busier times often dictate an afternoon/evening visit to avoid morning crowds; indeed, we may include lunch instead of dinner today to expedite our activities. Your Tour Leader will advise of any adjustments upon your arrival in Rome.

  • 01: 
    Can Adventures Abroad book my flights?
    Yes! We have full-service in-house air department with years of experience booking our passengers to far-flung places around the world from any place that has an airport. Travelling from Los Angeles to Rome? No problem. Travelling from Deer Lake, Newfoundland to Antananarivo? Also not a problem!

     

    • 01: 
      Can Adventures Abroad get better deals than I can online?
      Here’s the clear answer: Usually, no.

       

      Booking your flights with us is super convenient—it’s like one-stop shopping! Plus, we’ll take care of you if something goes wrong, like a canceled flight or missed connection. We include airport transfers at your destination when you book flights through us. Some routes to less common destinations can be hard to find on your own or through online search engines. Which usually only show popular routes. Let us make it easy for you!
    • 02: 
      Why should I book my flights with Adventures Abroad?
      • Included airport transfers: Enjoy a smoother trip with airport transfers provided when you book flights with us.
      • Peace of mind: Feel confident knowing we’ve got you covered during your trip.
      • Help with disruptions: If your travel plans change, we assist with rebooking flights and updating our partners and staff at your destination.
      • Avoid stress and confusion: Booking with us means you won’t have to deal directly with airlines or ticket sellers if issues arise.
  • 02: 
    Does the group fly together on a set route and airline?
    Unlike with some companies, you are not obliged to fly with a particular airline on "bulk" group flights. Because our travellers are coming from (usually) across North America, everyone who flies with us receives a custom air quotation that best serves their situation and preferences—we do not have "set" routings on only a limited number of airlines.

     

    While fare and convenience are always at the top of the list of criteria, we can work with you to find the option that suits you best.
  • 03: 
    When should my flights be quoted / booked?
    Everyone wants to know their flight details early. To get the best fares and routes, book your tour and pay your deposit as soon as possible. This helps us confirm the tour early. Booking 8-12 months ahead takes some trust, but it’s the best way to plan with so many factors involved. We can’t always provide exact flight costs more than 6 months out or before the tour is confirmed. But we almost always find a solution that works for our travellers.

If you are booking more than one person with different addresses and separate billing, please book each person individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

  •  
    What is the maximum number of participants on a trip?
    Most of our tours carry a maximum of 18 participants; some tours (ie hiking tours) top out at 16. In the event that we do not achieve our minimum complement by our 90-day deadline, we may offer group members the option of paying a "small-group surcharge" as an alternative to cancellation. If all group members agree, we will confirm the trip at existing numbers; this surcharge is refundable in the event that we ultimately achieve our regular minimum. If the small group surcharge is not accepted, we will offer a refund of your deposit or a different trip of your choice.
  •  
    Can I extend my tour either at the beginning or end? What about stopovers?
    Yes, you can extend your tour either at the beginning or the end and we can book accommodation in our tour hotel. Stopovers are often permitted, depending on air routing. Stopovers usually carry a "stopover" fee levied by the airline.
  •  
    How do I make a reservation? How and when do I pay?
    The easiest way to make a reservation is via our website; during office hours, you are also more than welcome to contact us by telephone.

    A non-refundable deposit is payable at the time of booking; if a reservation is made within 90 days, full payment is required. Some trips require a larger deposit. If international airline bookings require a non-refundable payment in order to secure space or the lowest available fare, we will require an increase in deposit equal to the cost of the ticket(s).

    Early enrolment is always encouraged as group size is limited and some trips require greater preparation time.

    Once we have received your deposit, we will confirm your space and send you a confirmation package containing your trip itinerary, any visa/travel permit related documents, invoice, clothing and equipment recommendations, general information on your destination(s), and forms for you to complete, sign and return to us. Your air e-tickets (if applicable), final hotel list, final trip itinerary, and instructions on how to join your tour, will be sent approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure.
  •  
    What about cancellations, refunds, and transfers?
    Please review our cancellation policy page for details.
  •  
    I am a single who prefers my own room. What is a single supplement?
    All of our tours have a single supplement for those who want to be guaranteed their own room at each location.

    This supplement is a reflection of the fact that most hotels around the world do not discount the regular twin-share rate for a room by 50% for only one person occupying a room. Most hotels will give a break on the price, but usually in the range of 25-30% of the twin-share rate. This difference, multiplied by each night, amounts to the single supplement.

    The conventional amount can also vary from country to country and some destinations are more expensive than others for single occupancy. In order to be "single friendly," the supplements we apply are not a profit centre for us and we do our best to keep them as reasonable as possible.

    On most tours we limit the number of singles available, not to be punitive, but rather because many hotels allow for only a limited number of singles; some smaller hotels at remote locations also have a limited number of single rooms available.

    Please note that most single rooms around the world are smaller than twin-share rooms and will likely have only one bed.
  •  
    Do you have a shared accommodation program?
    Yes! If you are single traveller and are willing to share, we will do our best to pair you with a same-gender roommate. On most of our tours, if we fail to pair you, we will absorb the single supplement fee and you will default to a single room at no extra charge. At some destinations, however, where single rooms are not significantly discounted, or not at all, we may apply a "mandatory" single in the event that we cannot find you a share partner. This is usually 50% of the usual supplement, but can be as much as 100%. If applicable, this proviso will be noted on each tour page on this website, on your invoice, and in our tour date/price book (available for download under "Resources").
