Sicily still has a lot of hidden surprises for the Northern European travel agents. Are you interested in Sicily as a new destination, or do you want to create a more special program around Sicily, than we are sure to offer you a surprising and special tour. Along the main touristic spots, but always with an eye for something special and local.
Some examples: the only south-Italian traditional church-bell constructors are located in a small town in the mountains near Agrigento. Or visit the Tuna station ('Tonnara') of Marzamemi, guided by the granddaughter of the last 'rais' (leader of the fishery-community). Or visit a local ricotta- and cheese producer in the early morning. Or did you ever taste wine made in ceramic ... in the ground? And finally a tango-evening in an ancient 'Palazzo' at Palermo.
