Small Groups: No more than 16 travelers, guaranteed. Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry. People-to-People Experiences: See what’s in the typical cucina Siciliana (Sicilian kitchen) when you sit down with a smaller group of travelers for a Home-Hosted Lunch with a Sicilian family in Mazara del Vallo. O.A.T. Exclusives: Spend A Day in the Life of Castelbuono, a hilltop village crowned with a medieval castle. Here, we'll meet a group of hardworking local donkeys and learn about the town's innovative solution to waste disposal. We'll also tour the castle, visit with locals in Castelbuono's charming piazza, and sit down to a traditional Sicilian meal with members of the community to learn about what life is like in this small town. Plus, explore Modica like the locals do as we zip through its narrow streets in vintage Fiat 500s. We'll also discuss the Controversial Topic of the local Sicilian Mafia, also known as Cosa Nostra, during a conversation with someone who is knowledgeable about the organization.
