The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Ride the cable car and a 4x4 up Europe's tallest active volcano to craters near the summit, guided by a volcanologist-trained expert.
Wander the ancient Greek Theater's clifftop views of Etna, then glide by private boat along the Isola Bella coastline to hidden grottoes.
Walk among the best-preserved Doric temples outside Greece itself, timed at dawn or golden hour with an archaeologist guide.
Explore Palermo's Arab-Norman UNESCO sites and Cappella Palatina's gold mosaics, then taste your way through Ballarò market with a local food expert.
Wade and swim through the black volcanic-rock canyon carved by the Alcantara River, framed by dramatic basalt columns.
Visit Cefalù's Norman cathedral and medieval old town, then continue into the Madonie hills for a private tasting at a family wine estate.
