Overview

YOUR DAY

After pickup, we travel to Corleone and explore its medieval streets and historic centre, discovering a town shaped by centuries of history.

We visit the International Documentation Center on Mafia and Anti-Mafia, where photographs, documents, and testimonies tell Sicily's fight against organized crime.

Next, we walk to the Cascata delle Due Rocche, a beautiful natural waterfall just outside the town centre.

Enjoy about one hour of free time for lunch at a local restaurant I recommend (lunch not included).

In the afternoon, we visit the Royal Hunting Lodge of Ficuzza, a Bourbon palace built in 1799 in the heart of a protected forest.

Finally, I'll drive you back to your chosen drop-off location.
