Guided Visits for Small Groups

We often travel in small groups, only with friends or relatives. A guided tour is surely the best way to appreciate the beauties and the history of the land which we are visiting but often the cost of a personal tourist guide is too high for few people. In summer months, Hermes proposes a daily program of tours for "mixed" groups of visitors. In this way you can choose your itinerary, verify the next date on our program and book a visit for a very low price. The visits are also in english language. Appointment is on place. For some visits you need an own car for moving between the different places. Forward booking is required. 

Program JULY-AUGUST-SEPTEMBER  2008

Variations on the program are possible. Always verify on this page the correct programs

Archaeological Tours

Go to the archaeological tours

Sicily has a very ancient history. Greek authors told that the cyclops were the first inhabitants of the island. Many others came after them, from Sikels to Greeks, Romans and Byzantins. In this area you can choose between a lot of archaeological excursions. Archaeological guides will bring you to sites and places which are outside the mass tourism routes but which are full of fascination. Discover the ruins of the ancient greek colonies, the prehistoric sicilian necropolis or forgotten byzantin frescoes in little stone churches in the Sicilian mountains...
