Taste of Sicily

Independent rail tour of Sicily's food markets and cuisine

Taste of Sicily is a 7-day independent rail package operated by Railbookers. It spends two nights each in Catania, Palermo, and Taormina, three cities on Sicily's coast, connected by train. As an independent package, there is no escort; travelers move between cities on their own schedule. Each stop centers on food, with visits to local markets and hands-on learning in choosing ingredients and preparing traditional Sicilian dishes. Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day breakdown of hotels for this package. The two-night stays in every city make for an unhurried pace, suiting travelers who want to settle into each place rather than change hotels daily.
