No longer will you have to hassle with the struggles that are often associated with large group tours. By choosing to hire us, you won’t have to deal with the burdens that often occur while traveling with a large group of tourists. With our private guided tours through Sicily, you’ll have:
More Free Time
Large group tours are often associated with less free time. And this is often because having plenty of free time is typically difficult to implement into itineraries when guides have to manage massive amounts of people. With a smaller, more private group, you’ll be able to have much more free time to use. And with all that free time, you’ll be able to experience the true beauty of Sicily.
No Schedule Issues
Large tour group itineraries are can get tough to manage. And this is due to the fact that guides will need to account for all guests to arrive at a meeting spot on time and in an orderly fashion. Because of this, scheduling issues are bound to happen since some tourists may not be as punctual as others. On a private tour, that is less likely to happen as there will be fewer tourists.
Our team is well-versed and familiar with the culture of the Mediterranean-Italian civilization that resides in Sicily. For this reason, we are more than devoted to exposing travelers to the wondrous atmosphere that Sicily offers.
Our service is recognized for giving patrons the best private tours of Sicily. And this is because tourists are able to safely venture through Southern Italy under our care and supervision. We can assure you that our escorted tours in Sicily will be easy-going, safe, and comfortable as you enjoy the amenities offered by this amazing region.
Sicily is an amazing region full of culture that’s just as rich as the people who dwell there. And if you ever want to experience it, you can trust that Nada’s Italy is the go-to.

Bill & Fran
It could not have been more perfect! Our guide, Cristina, was so passionate and knowledgeable at every destination we visited. The amount of "tour" time and time on our own was just right. The hotels were all comfortable and we loved that we ate at small, family owned restaurants. Nada's Italy is the only way to see Italy!
Harry & Nina
My husband and I would have to say that this was the best trip we have ever been on. Between great accommodations, superb food and a wonderful tour guide Clarissa it is a trip we will never forget. Clarissa made everyone feel important and part of the group, plus she always went out of her way to help us with anything. All of her knowledge was amazing and she was always cheery. We thought the world of her. We would choose Nada's again the next time we go to Europe.
Janet
Every meal was a delight! The specific venues, chosen for their intimacy and the fresh, beautiful choices (oh! the desserts!) make me long to return soon to wonderful Italy. Nada, your team made special reservations for us everywhere, and the staff in those places were always prepared for us when we arrived.
Linda
Had so much fun on this tour. I'd never done a guided tour before and was a little reluctant but boy was it worth it! Saw and did so many things I'd never have thought of on my own. Well organized, well run, fantastic time had! Would do again!
