Sicily Family Trips/Tours Reviews
- Classic Sicily - 8 Days/7 Nights
Super beautiful Great guide
- Luxury Private Tour of Sicily: Highlights
Great service all round, from the back office to the tour guides, to the recommended hotels booked and restaurants. The company really took the pressure off me organising the hotel, tours, airport transfers and restaurants. Great taste in everything provided and the customer service was fantastic. Every time I had something to discuss, we did it via what’s app which was so much easier and I got directions etc sent to me with minutes of local places to visit and eat. Sicily was an amazing place and I went with my wife who was 7 months pregnant at the time. Everyone was so thoughtful, considerate and caring, it made our trip so much more enjoyable.
- Sicilian Fantasy: Small Group Tour
Sicilian Fantasy, tour guide Chetty. Chetty (Chati) was excellent. Always calm and super knowledgable. Spoke 4 Languages: not easy to repetitively do and she did it with energy! She could make us laugh and laugh at herself. I believe we can all agree the difference in any group’s leader is the heart. Learning all the history of ancient ruins there seemed to be one female god and think we had her as our tour guide. I believe she was our Demetar! Goddess of the Harvest. Or at least Goddess of the Tour Guides. Sammy B
What our customers ask about Sicily Family Tours & Vacation Packages
What's the recommended age for children on Sicily family tours?
Sicily family tours generally accept children between 4-12 years old with select operators extending this range down to age 2.

Kids can walk through ancient Greek theaters at their own pace and spend time looking at the detailed mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale.

Sicily offers many activities that work well for families. Children can join jeep tours up Mount Etna learn to make pasta in Taormina cooking classes and spend time swimming at Isola Bella beach.

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The tour was very well organized and accommodating for families with plenty of breaks and engaging activities for children."
What type of accommodation can families expect in Sicily?
The tours use 4-star hotels that work well for families. Baia di Ulisse Hotel in Agrigento provides family rooms and a pool while Il Principe Hotel in Catania has connecting rooms.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were very good and family-friendly especially the one in Agrigento with its amazing pools and beach access."

The best times for family visits are spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October) when the weather is mild and tourist spots are less crowded.

Hotel Ariston in Taormina provides good family rooms during these popular seasons.
