This carefully-crafted special itinerary provides for a comprehensive but leisurely-paced programme of sightseeing, daily excursions, scenic drives and privately guided tours, highlighted by attendance at three of the most famous Sicilian Easter festivals…the Procession of the Mysteries of Trapani (Misteri di Trapani), the Arbëreshë Procession in Piana degli Albanesi and the Dance of the Devils (Ballo dei Diavoli) in Prizzi

Fully escorted by Rosa and Colin, with additional services in Sicily from a professional Tour Manager and additional expert commentary by local guides during tours and visits while in Piazza Armerina (Villa del Casale), Agrigento (Valley of the Temples), Monreale, Palermo and Syracuse

A limit on tour numbers to a maximum of 18 guests ensures a greater level of comfort and individual attention

Start each day with a delicious buffet breakfast (B)

On 6 special days savour pre-arranged highlight lunches, two particularly special ones being a long lunch at the exclusive Tenuta Manca di Geracello near Piazza Armerina and a ‘Cooking Class’ lunch with Rosa at her favourite restaurant in Modica (L)

8 evening meals are provided, with wine, including a welcome dinner in Catania, a very special farewell dinner in Ragusa and a dinner in each of Rosa’s favourite restaurants in the Caltagirone Area (2), Marsala, Trapani, Palermo, and Syracuse (D)

Experience the delightful tastes of the Sicilian Easter Festivals with dishes like Torta Pasqualina (Easter Pie) and Agnello Agrassato (Lamb Stew) or Mpanata (Lamb Pie). Enjoy the famous Easter treats such as Cuddura (hard boiled eggs nestling on animal or basket shaped pastries, traditionally made by the Nonnas and gifted to their grandchildren) and Colomba Pasquale (Panattone-style Easter bread baked in the shape of a dove). Try the iconic Easter gift, Agnelli Pasquali (Spring lambs fashioned from marzipan and filled with pistachio paste)

Stay in quality accommodation, in boutique-style, premium city hotels or intimate family-run establishments with a special highlight of a 2-night stay at an ‘Agriturismo’ property in the Caltagirone area

Travel in comfort and style in deluxe air-conditioned vehicles throughout, with private group transfers on arrival and departure

And, you won’t have to tip on this tour. The Easter in Sicily with Rosa tour has a unique ‘No Tipping’ policy which means we take care of hotel porterage, hotel and restaurant service charges (for meals included in the programme) plus taxes and gratuities, including gratuities for local guides and the end-of-tour gratuities traditionally given to the Tour Manager and Driver
