What Makes Insider Sicily Different?

Insider Sicily was born out of the love of two journalists who realized how much they missed Sicily after studying and working outside of their beautiful island. They returned with a mission to make a change and started a foundation that would give back to the Sicilian people. Every year, they create a cultural festival that opens up venues that are usually not accessible to the public. Together with the expertise of Laura Massoni, a veteran in the travel industry and and a born and raised Italian, they started Insider Sicily, a boutique DMC that is dedicated to preserving and promoting Sicily’s cultural and artistic heritage. It was Laura’s vision to share her beloved Sicily with the world and give people the priceless gift of experiencing the Sicilian way of life. Insider Sicily offers unique and authentic luxury experiences with exceptional personalized care for each itinerary. The team personally vets each day’s inclusions. From welcoming drivers, to scholarly guides, masterful chefs and lovable nonnas, clients gain access to Sicily’s most soulful experiences.

How Has Insider Sicily Gone Above & Beyond?

We take care of clients’ concierge needs throughout their journey — before and during the trip. We have helped our clients in a variety of situations. For example, we had clients ask us to book all of the restaurant reservations for a trip that went over 21 days. We have had clients forgetting their money and passports in the hotel’s safe, and we helped them to retrieve them. Once, a client got a flat tire in the Sicilian countryside, and one of our guides went to meet them and made them arrive safely at their destination.
