    Hi Bev, thank you for your feedback on this trip - We do use standard mid range accommodation for most of our destinations. For this trip we do also camp within Madonie Adventure Park which families love as its tree tents set around 6 meters off the ground and surrounded by the forest - we genuinely feel it adds a lovely aspect to the trip.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten December 2024

      Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.

    Asked on July 7th, 2024

    I'm looking at family vacation options for our family of 6. I love the mix of activities included on this tour but it says from ages 11+. Would this tour not be an option for us? Our younger children are quite active hikers & bikers

    • Explore!OperatorWritten July 2024

      I'm afraid the Sicily family trip is possible only for 11+ kids. But we have other options you may like. I attached few other Family trips we run in Jul - Aug, please have a look.
