Your Itinerary

Duomo di Monreale

Meet your private Guide Driver, board of a Premium Mercedes vehicle and head to MONREALE for a guided tour. The Duomo is surely the apotheosis of Norman architecture in Sicily. Featuring a cathedral with its splendid mosaics from the 12th century, it was part of the World Heritage Arab Norman Period, built under William II. It rivals Saint Sophia in Istanbul and Saint Mark's in Venice in its use of decorative mosaics. While it is Romanesque style largely, the cathedral combines aspects of Arab, Byzantine and Norman architecture.

Admission Not Included

Cefalu Coast

(Pass by)

Next drive towards the Madonie National Park and reach the town of CEFALU’. Once a typical fishing village, now a major destination for tourists in the area.

Cefalu

During a stroll through the characteristic streets, visit the ancient medieval washhouse and the Norman-style Cefalu Cathedral built in the 12th century. The mosaics inside the cathedral are remarkable examples of the Byzantine art of the period. The sturdy Norman lines of the Cathedral are softened by palm trees, and tourists fill the city hall piazza before it. The Arab-Norman architecture of Sicily is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a lunch break at one of the many restaurants in town. At the end of the tour, you will be brought back to your hotel.

My husband and I, together with a friend, spent 2 wonderful days with our personal Guide Mimmo, the magnificent. We visited the Valley of Temples and were fascinated by Mimmo’s knowledge and insights. He quickly assessed our interested and personalized the tours just for us. The second tour we took with Mimmo was to Cefalu and Monreale. Although we had been to Monreale before we saw the beautiful mosaics through Mimmo’s eyes. When Mimmo realized we were foodies he arranged a special luncheon to an agriturismo in the country. We never would have found this hidden gem without him. If you want to see the real Sicily contact Mimmo.

We had been looked after well and educated well of the history, our tour of Taormina and Montreale started early with sights of plain fields, oranges, lemon and olives fields, beautiful views of mount Etna and peaceful towns while the driver explained few brief history while passing by them, before reaching our destination we stopped for a little tea break. When we reached our stop, we walked the market place, seen places of interest stopped for lunch in small cafe with interesting food, walking the the market was a great way of getting to know the area. Beautiful of views of cathedrals, museums an lovely towns.
