    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Are there no more tours to S Italy, Sicily & Malta this year? Ads say no dates are available – whatever that means. It's something I've been badly wanting to do for several years and I wasn't in a position to book earlier this year, but I'm not getting any younger and why advertise a tour that doesn't exist? Just saying no dates available doesn't mean anything.. Accurate information would be much more helpful.

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten July 2025

      We understand how long you've been hoping to take this tour of Southern Italy, Sicily, and Malta, and completely empathize with your frustration. Regrettably, this particular tour has been withdrawn from the current offering, which is why there are no available dates listed at the moment. In this case, a wonderful alternative you might consider is the Sicily in Depth, classic group with Malta extension. This 14-day guided journey offers a rich and immersive experience through Sicily's most iconic destinations, followed by an extension in Malta.

      The 2025 dates have yet to be released for the Southern Italy, Sicily & Malta tour. It is a VERY unique tour, but I will see if there would be any alternatives available.
