BE A GUEST IN SICILY
A TRIP TO SICILY FOR SOLO TRAVELERS AND SMALL GROUPS
all year by arrangement
Tailor‑made trips to Sicily
You’ve already been a “guest in my village” or you’re familiar with Sicily’s east coast?
Then it’s time to dive into new regions and fresh island adventures in Sicily!
Four journeys – one personally guided island experience
“Guest in Sicily” is a collection of four individually designed trips that you book just for yourself – as a solo traveler, with a friend, or with a partner.
Instead of joining a big group tour, I accompany you across the island as your Sicily expert and personal travel companion, sharing Sicily the way I love it most: authentic, unhurried, and close to everyday life and local people.
We explore village life and lively cities, coastal areas and the inland countryside – well away from the beaten tourist tracks and always adapted to your interests and needs.
You don’t experience Sicily as just another tourist, but as a welcomed guest.

I look forward to sharing my Sicily with you.
FOUR CUSTOMIZED SICILY TRIPS
Available year-round by arrangement
The first trip takes you to the northern coast of Sicily. From the bustling capital of Palermo, the route leads through the small fishing village of Porticello to Cefalù. You’ll experience the hustle and bustle of the Mercato Ballarò in Palermo’s lively old town and enjoy an aperitivo at sunset with a view over the city’s rooftops. In the fishing villages of Porticello and Cefalù, picturesque coastlines, sparkling seas, and a laid-back Italian vibe await you.
6 days / 5 nights
Available year-round by arrangement
This journey takes you to the sun-drenched south coast of Sicily, featuring the Valley of the Temples and the white chalk cliffs of the Turkish Stairs and Punta Bianca. We’ll take a trip to the sculpture garden in Sciacca or the art and culture park in Favara. In between, we’ll enjoy leisurely lunches by the sea and take the time to experience the fine sandy beaches and the atmosphere of this region with all our senses.
6 days / 5 nights
Available year-round by arrangement
This trip to the west coast of Sicily takes you to a region with a character all its own. Its proximity to Africa is reflected in the cuisine, the flavors, and the architecture. You’ll discover the mountain village of Erice, stroll through Trapani, and enjoy an evening in Marsala with a view of the salt flats at sunset. We’ll visit an impressive work of landscape art and places where history, art, and the present come together in a striking way
6 days / 5 nights
Available year-round by arrangement
With Sicily Freestyle, we’ll work together to create your itinerary through Sicily, tailored exactly to your preferences: perhaps through the island’s interior with its breathtaking natural diversity, to sleepy villages like Caltabellotta, or to magical places like the Teatro di Andromeda.
I’ll ensure flexible itineraries and show you a Sicily tailored exactly to your pace and preferences.
6 days / 5 nights
FEEDBACK OF MY GUESTS
BRIGITTE
PHOTO TOUR OF SICILY
Dear Ulrike,
I just finished downloading the last few photos and putting my camera gear away. I look back on some wonderful, eventful, and joyful days filled with the most beautiful scenes and moments.
From the “hot nights in Palermo” to the final flyover of Mount Etna, which had erupted again, you organized everything perfectly. Enriched by all the encounters and the dramatic weather, it was one highlight after another! I couldn’t have started my new year of life any better!
Warm regards from Germany, which is also hot! But with the new clothes from the market, these temperatures are very bearable.

PHOTO TRIP SICILY
For us, too, travel and photography go hand in hand, so we were delighted to reconnect with Ulrike through her website reiseundfotografie.de.
It was immediately clear that we were off on new adventures. Ulrike has excellent local knowledge and expertise, and she’s always good for a pleasant surprise.
The hotels were well-chosen, and thanks to a varied itinerary, we were able to capture many beautiful moments with and without the camera. A friendly group of photographers went with the flow and, thanks to the excellent selection of restaurants and rest stops, were also able to discover and enjoy Sicilian cuisine. Unfortunately, a successful trip always ends far too quickly. Thank you so much, dear Ulrike, once again for the wonderful time.
Your friends from Cologne, Tina & Dieter
