Tours and activities operated by Upstays, member of the Natoli Group
Segesta and Erice
Erice and Segesta tell Sicily differently from an artistic and historical point of view. They are two small towns with valuable features such as the Doric Temple at Segesta, one of the few monuments that has been preserved perfectly intact since antiquity, and the mediaeval town of Erice, with its marvellous landscapes seen from the mountain on which it stands.
Cefalù and Castelbuono
The extension from the sea to the mountains makes the Madonie a fascinating and evocative territory. From the crystal-clear sea of Cefalù to the medieval village of Castelbuono, the territory offers a heterogeneous, welcoming and unique itinerary for visitors.
Cefalù and Monreale
Monreale and Cefalù are part of the Arab-Norman itinerary, which has nine monuments in Sicily, including Cefalù Cathedral and Monreale Cathedral, examples of Sicily’s UNESCO heritage sites. The entire itinerary is a precious gem of a territory characterised by the union of two opposing worlds: the Arab-Muslim and the Norman-Catholic.
Agrigento and the Valley of Temples
A journey through history thanks to one of the places that bears witness to the Greeks’ influence on western culture. The tour through the magnificent Valley of the Temples reveals the magnificence of the Temple of Juno, the Temple of Concord, the Temple of Hercules and the Temple of Jupiter, which then leads to the marvellous Garden of the Kolymbetra, a garden in which the scents of citrus fruits, the grandeur of centuries-old olive trees and the view of the temples from a different perspective combine.
Tour of historic mansions

A visit to the historical markets of palermo and show cooking
Palermo’s markets encapsulate, between street food and history, past tradition and the drive towards the future.
