EXPLORING SICILY FOR SOLO TRAVELERS AND SMALL GROUPS

North Coast Sicily Journey – Palermo, Porticello & Cefalù
You stand on a small balcony gazing at the sparkling sea. A fresh sea breeze brushes your face, carrying scents of sun, salt, and orange blossoms. Above you, seagulls cry, a motorbike rattles through the alley, men argue loudly outside the tobacconist, while children laugh as they race across the piazza. Life unfolds unfiltered below – exactly how you want to experience Sicily as a true guest, not as a tourist.
Personal Sicily Guided Tour for Solo Travelers & Small Groups
"Guest on Sicily's North Coast" is an exclusive, individually planned Sicily journey for solo travelers, friends, and couples who want to discover Palermo and Sicily's North Coast up close. As your personal Sicily guide and Sicily expert, I lead you to the most beautiful places – away from large tour groups, with authentic island atmosphere and plenty of room for spontaneity.
Palermo – Experience the Vibrant Capital
We begin with two nights in Palermo, Sicily's lively capital. Together we dive into the old town, the colorful Mercato Ballarò, the impressive cathedral, and the legendary Teatro Massimo. We feel the pulsating daily life, enjoy Sicilian cuisine in hidden trattorias, and experience the city's most beautiful panoramic view over the rooftops during an aperitivo – a Palermo vacation as it should be.
Porticello – Authentic Fishing Village Life
From Palermo, we drive to Porticello, a small, original fishing village on the North Coast. Here we spend three nights, strolling through the picturesque harbor and walking along the coast to the scenic Caletta Sant'Elia. In this quiet coastal town, you experience real Sicilian people and culture – far from tourist crowds.
Cefalù – Breezy Blue Coastal Gem
Cefalù, the picturesque coastal town with its Norman cathedral and golden beaches, awaits as a highlight excursion. We have plenty of time to discover all destinations at your own pace – whether strolling along the promenade, enjoying coffee in a bar, or simply breathing the Sicilian sea air.
Flexible, Individual, Tailored to Your Wishes
The journey is deliberately designed to be open and flexible. Whether more time in Palermo, longer beach breaks in Porticello, or additional photo stops in Cefalù – your interests come first. As your Sicily contact person, I adapt the program, pace, and focus to suit you.
Booking & Prices – Available Year-Round
The 6-day journey (5 nights) costs €2,250 per person including individual Sicily trip planning, personal accompaniment, transfers, and accommodation. For small groups (2–4 people), the price per person is reduced. Bookable year-round. Thanks to Sicily's mild climate, this journey is perfect as a winter trip or spring journey.

FEEDBACK OF MY GUESTS

CHRISTIAN
NORTH COAST OF SICILY
For several years, I've been "collecting" islands.
Photography is always at the forefront of my travels.
While searching online, I came across "Travel and Photography" among various offers. Here I found not only group photography in small groups, but also a wonderful mix of island exploration, local food and drink. And as it should be after good food and drink, we also had really great conversations in the group. All of this was only possible under Ulrike's mindful guidance.
For me, it was 7 days of "complete indulgence."
Thank you, Christian

GABRIELA
ROUND TRIP ITALY
Of all the guided tours I've taken, Ulrike's was the most beautiful. This is because I wasn't just comprehensively cared for, but lovingly and competently guided by the hand, with the opportunity to make my own impressions and experiences. Every day I was surprised with something new and beautiful.
My treasure chest of memories was filled.
