Meet your driver in the morning at your Taormina hotel, then take a seat in your private vehicle for a journey across the island. Relax as you set off into Sicily’s interior, safe in the knowledge that your private driver will ensure you have a stress-free experience.
Stop near Piazza Armerina and hop out of the car for the first sightseeing stopover. Pay a fee to enter the Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO-listed 4th-century Roman villa that is known for its stunning collection of mosaics. Get a close-up look at the vivid tableaus, which are thought to have been produced by North African artists. Afterward, enjoy free time to refuel with some lunch at the nearby restaurant (own expense) before hitting the road once more.
Next, roll up at UNESCO-listed archaeological area of Agrigento to see the Valley of the Temples. This site is packed with ancient Greek temples in various states of ruin. Pay an entrance fee to gain access, then begin exploring to get a feel for how this city would have appeared in ancient times.
Settle back into your private vehicle for the last stretch of the journey, before pulling up at the final port of call: your hotel in Palermo.
Please note: Your driver will not accompany you into the ancient monuments and sites. If you wish to pay a surcharge for a licensed tourist guide, one can be arranged in advance.
