    I’ve already contacted G adventure; they don’t care. G Adventure emphasizes that everyone should feel welcomed. When the “CEO” wears a keffiyeh on every outing and places a Palestine banner on her backpack, it’s a message to Jews that we are not welcomed. In fact, we shouldn’t even exist. I removed my yellow ribbon pin to avoid controversy. My guide did not feel the need to do the same.

    This tour was fantastic. The CEO was wonderful, any issues were handled immediately. Everyday was a terrific exploration of Sicily with the small group or on our own.

    We saw alot the highlights of Sicily and the time we spent there was full of memorable experiences. We especially loved our time in Lipari. We spent extra days in Palermo which is highly recommended. This trip was a good length and mix of activities.

    Asked on January 23rd, 2025

    Is there an addition price for those traveling as a single? What is the price for a single?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      We don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. For this departure, the My Own Room extra is $2179.00.

    Transport
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2024

      The CEO and driver will not be the same person but you will likely only 1 driver for the duration of the trip. Entrance fees will be included for any activities that are included in the tour price. Yes, there are optional extras - more info can be found on the tour PDF, which I have attached here.

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Is the Mt. Etna option free? When will we know the price? Can you set up rooms at Hotel Vecchio Borgo?

    • J

      Jason

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Can you help set up our flights? Do we get a discount through you? We will be flying from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to Palermo.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2024

      We cannot assist with flights, these must be sorted separately yourself. The visit to Mt. Etna is not free of charge but costs will depend on how many wish to do this, so your tour guide will advise of pricing at the welcome meeting on day one. Extra nights can be added for 140 USD per twin/double room per night.

    I am travelling solo and would like my own room. Is there a surcharge?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2024

      We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. Please be advised that the My Own Room option is subject to availability.
