Additional Information

Explore the genuine and undiscovered side of Sicily with our private tour around the Sicani mountain range. Our journey begins in Lercara Friddi, the birthplace of Frank Sinatra’s father. Here, we’ll explore the Mother Church and its singular compilation of a thousand nativity scenes. We then head to Prizzi, a medieval hamlet that will transport you to a bygone era, and Palazzo Adriano, known for its cultural diversity and its place as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning movie ‘New Cinema Paradiso’.

Next, we’ll guide you to the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, an intensely spiritual site nestled amongst the trees, and to San Giovanni Gemini. Here, we’ll visit the Mother Church which is home to the ‘Jesus Nazarè’, otherwise known as the Black Christ. To cap off our adventure, we take a deep dive into the essence of Cammarata, famously referred to as ‘a mountain of excellences’. Here, we’ll enjoy a local lunch, sampling the region’s specialty cuisine.

This is more than just a tour; it’s an immersion into the vibrant history, rich culture, and exceptional gastronomy nestled in the soul of Sicily. Don’t delay, as space is limited and this is a chance you don’t want to let slip away.

The unknown heart of Sicily - An unforgettable excursion. We met locals and saw places far from the usual tourist destinations. The tour guide showed us the unknown heart of Sicily, called the Sicani Mountains. Places of enchanting charm and local gastronomic cuisine. Top!

no-show - waisted valuable vacation time - Booking (expensive over $1000 for 2 people) confirmed day before then morning of tour, it was a no- show at pick up location/time - after several phone calls being told that instead of 8:30 am pickup, we would definitely be picked up at 9:00 am “sharp”- time came and still no show - after waiting in lobby of hotel for well over an hour, I got notification of cancellation and refund
