5 Giorni in Minibus nella Sicilia Occidentale, tra mosaici dorati e tramonti infiniti
I mosaici di Monreale e Cefalù, i templi di Agrigento, la Scala dei Turchi, le Saline di Marsala, San Vito Lo Capo, Erice e tanto altro
In questo viaggio vi porteremo a scoprire facce diverse della meravigliosa Sicilia: dalla spiritualità dorata dei mosaici bizantini di Monreale e Cefalù, che scintillano come gemme incastonate nella pietra, alla maestosità senza tempo della Valle dei Templi, dove il passato greco emerge potente dalla terra rossastra.
Il nostro percorso ci condurrà poi verso occidente, tra le saline di Marsala con i loro riflessi rosa e i mulini a vento che disegnano geometrie perfette contro il cielo, la surreale bellezza della Scala dei Turchi che si erge bianca sul mare turchese, e l'atmosfera quasi africana di San Vito Lo Capo con il suo mare cristallino e il Monte Monaco che veglia dall'alto.
Concluderemo in bellezza a Erice, borgo medievale sospeso a 750 metri d'altezza, da dove lo sguardo spazia dalle Isole Egadi all'entroterra siciliano in un panorama che toglie il fiato. Un viaggio tra sacro e profano, tra storia millenaria e natura incontaminata, per assaporare insieme un angolo di questa terra ricca di ogni meraviglia.
Come sempre solo 8 posti, per viaggiare come in un gruppo di amici.
Viaggio on the Road
In questo viaggio faremo tutto il giro del'Isola, è un tour itinerante nel quale visitare ogni giorno luoghi diversi ed assaporare paesaggi sempre nuovi. Non abbiamo intenzione di correre, potremo sicuramente anche fare il bagno e rilassarci un po', ma il viaggio è pensato per chi ha voglia di un tour on the road. Perfetto anche per chi ama camminare un po' nella natura e nelle città.
Book this tour
Questo è un viaggio on the road, dove ogni giorno si visitano cose diverse.
E' molto diverso come spirito dai mega tour in pullman con la guida turistica che racconta i monumenti ed un programma fittissimo ed estenuante e assomiglia molto di più ad un viaggio tra amici, anche grazie al piccolo numero di 8 partecipanti.
Faremo passeggiate (della durata massima di un'ora, su sentieri segnalati, questo viaggio non è un trekking), assaggeremo le specialità, ammireremo i paesaggi e incontreremo guide locali per avere più informazioni quando sarà necessario.
E' un viaggio adatto a chi ama la natura, i paesaggi meravigliosi, a chi ha voglia di condividere una bella esperienza con gli altri, prendendosi anche dei momenti per sé quando si ha voglia di fare due passi per conto proprio o di contemplare un angolo in solitudine.
Non è necessario essere allenati fisicamente, anche se avere voglia di camminare un po' è sicuramente utile.
Non è un viaggio di mare: troveremo sicuramente diverse occasioni per fare il bagno, ed il mare sarà nostro compagno lungo tutto il giro e protagonista delle nostre soste e dei nostri paesaggi, ma il tour è pensato per fare on the road il giro dell'Isola.
For our minibus tours we have chosen a Fiat Ducato, the most spacious in its category: it accommodates up to 8 passengers on individual seats (plus the driver) and guarantees to each traveler their personal space even at full load. We gave him a name, Megamind, and with Alessandro at the helm he will be a perfect traveling companion!
It features:
- wifi available for travelers
- a great sound system
- individually adjustable air conditioning
- adjustable rear single seats, padded armrests and 3-point seat belts
- modular and flexible configuration
- high roof so you can stand up inside
We also have a more agile and small Ford Tourneo (this is called Sciapaiar), it has 9 seats as well, spacious, brand new and with all the comforts of the Ducato.
In any case you will like our minibuses, guaranteed by Giroola.
In our travels you will find solo travelers, couples, or pairs of friends, and in a small group of eight it’s easy to become friends straight away. This tour is perfect for those that traveling alone but don't want to be on their own for the whole trip. You're independent and you can choose if and when to share meals and your free time with the group.
Our travelers are people who know how to travel, in fact they arrive independently to the place of the appointment, mainly from all over Italy (but not only) and who choose to take a trip with us to learn differently about places, people, flavors and traditions. We are proud to say that our travelers are the best part of our trips!
Solo travellers are always welcome in our tours, and if you feel like sharing a double of triple room with other members of the group we will send you an e-mail after your reservation and you will be able to tell us about your preferences (for example, if you are a girl and you would like to share a room with girls only etc). You will not pay any surcharge.
If you prefer, you can book a single room for a fee.
If there are no other solo travellers in your tour or if there is no opportunity to satisfy your preferences, your single room will be offered by us at no extra charge.

Booking Policy, from the General Terms and Condition for the Sale of Tour Packages:
3) RESERVATIONS
Acceptance of reservations by Giroola Srl is subject to availability. Reservations will be considered final following confirmation by Giroola Srl, even via e-mail or fax, to the client.
Indications relative to the tour package not contained in the contract documents, brochures or other forms of written communication, will be supplied in time by Giroola Srl prior to the initial starting date in compliance with its duties as envisaged by Legislative . decree n. 79/2011.
4) PAYMENT
Upon booking, a registration fee and a deposit of 25% of the total amount is required. Full payment is due 30 days prior to departure. For reservations made within 30 days of departure, full payment is due upon booking. Lack of payment of the abovementioned sums on the dates established constitutes grounds for cancellation of reservations such as to determine, on the part of Giroola Srl, the right to terminate the contract.
5) TRANSFER OF CONTRACT
The client renouncing the contract may be substituted by another person provided that:
a) Giroola Srl be given written notice at least 4 weekdays prior to the date of departure, together with the necessary personal data of the transferee;
b) The transferee be able to satisfy all the conditions for the fruition of the service ( ex article 10 of Legislative decree n.111/95) and in particular the requisites relative to passports, visas, health certificates;
c) The transferee refund Giroola Srl for all expenses incurred for the transfer of the contract for the sum specified before the transfer.
Moreover, the transferor and the transferee are both accountable for the payment in full of the tour package price as well as for the sum as per item (c) of the present article.
As far as certain types of services are concerned, third party suppliers have the right to refuse the substitution of the transferee, even if effected within the time limit specified as per item (a) of the present article. Giroola Srl will therefore not be held responsible for the eventual non-acceptance of the substitution on behalf of third parties. This non-acceptance shall be notified in good time by Giroola Srl to the parties involved before departure.
6) WITHDRAWAL
In the event of withdrawing from the tour package contract, the client is, in any case, liable for the payment of the tour package price. If withdrawal takes place for reasons beyond those envisaged in article 7 of the present General Terms, the client shall pay, in compliance with ex article 1373, paragraph III, Italian Civil Code, cancellation penalties as specified below:
- 10% of the tour package price within 30 days prior to departure
- 30% of the tour package price from 29 to 18 days prior to departure
- 50% of the tour package price from 17 to 10 days prior to departure
- 75% of the tour package price from 9 to 3 weekdays prior to departure
- 100% of the tour package price beyond these terms.
7) WITHDRAWAL OF CLIENT WITHOUT PENALTY
The client may withdraw from the contract, without incurring any penalty, in the following circumstances:
- a significant change of one or more elements of the contract which can be objectively considered as fundamental for the fruition of the tour package in its entirety and proposed by Giroola Srl.
- after the conclusion of the contract itself but prior to departure and not accepted by the client.
In the abovementioned circumstances, the client is entitled to the following options:
- the fruition of an alternative tour package, with no increase in price or with the restitution of the excess in price, if the second tour package costs less than the first;
- the restitution of any sum corresponded as partial payment. Said restitution must be made within seven weekdays from receiving the request for reimbursement.
The client must communicate the decision (to accept the change or to withdraw) within two weekdays from receiving notice of the price increase or change. In the absence of specific notice within the said term, the proposal made by Giroola Srl will be considered accepted. The client who decides to withdraw from the contract before departure for circumstances beyond those listed above shall pay, after deducting the account paid as per article 4, the penalty indicated in article 6.
8) TOUR VARIATIONS
Variations to the tour, requested by the client, after the confirmation of booking, could involve processing expenses for Giroola Srl and at times penalties charged by suppliers. If so, the customer will be charged. Partial withdrawal of some of the travellers under the same contract and the resulting decrease in number of tour members is to be considered partial cancellation and is consequently regulated as stated in article 6.
As specified in our General Conditions of Sale of tourist packages, when you travel with Giroola you are covered by our Civil Liability Insurance. For all that could happen and that was due to our negligence or error, we have signed a policy (Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, nr.2007 / 03/2276452).
There are other insurance policies that we recommend and for which we have chosen to work with Allianz Global Assistance, whose Globy range seems to us to be the most suitable for our travelers:
- TRAVEL CANCELLATION - Our 8-person trips are often full months before the date of travel, and even if our cancellation policy is actually much more flexible than expressed in our Booking Policy (our travelers can attest to this, we are very available to move the trip in case of unexpected even the last minute), where other facilities are involved (hotels, rentals, etc) some expenses are not really refundable, and therefore a good trip cancellation insurance becomes a valuable ally.
- HEALTH and ASSISTANCE
We at Giroola are an agency of the Globy network of Allianz Global Assistance, and we can therefore provide you with all the information, make estimates and issue the policies directly with the booking.
For any information our Paola is at your disposal at the phone number +39 370 3506333, at the address [email protected] or in the chat directly on this page.
