    Shannon

    Asked on June 27th, 2025

    I would want to tour the island of Filcudi... can this be included?

    Tour Details
    • I confirm that you can add an extra night post tour and an extra excursion to "Alicudi & Filicudi".

      Shannon

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Oh I was hoping for at least 4-5 days in Filcudi? Can you quote that please?

    • We usually use Lipari as a base island and from there organize daily excursions to the other islands also because there is more availability of hotels.

      Bryan

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      What are the best airports to book their arrival and departure flights?

    • Due to organizational reasons we will have the confirmed hotels list approximately one month before the departure. However I can anticipate that the first hotel of the tour will most likely be Mercure Hotel Palermo Centro 4* or Ibis Styles Palermo Cristal 4*.

    • If you wish to have everything included you can take in consideration adding the GOLD Privilege Package (includes: City taxes – All entrances as per program – Private airport transfers in/out) EUR 240 per person.

    • For the selected tour the best airports are Palermo on your arrival and Catania on your departure.
