We would like to take this tour in 2018 in either May or June. Has anyone who has taken this tour in either of those two months wish to reply about the weather they had? I have checked out the weather report that is listed with the tour page.
Have not done the tour but was just in Sicily at many of the tour locations in the first to second week of June.
Weather was absolutely perfect. 45 minutes of rain one day, clear skies the rest. Temps in the low 80s. Nice beach weather in Scopello, but the sea was quite cold. Still swam. Good weather for walking everywhere, not too hot but didn't need a jacket at night.
While i took another companies tour it covers the area of RS tours. I was there for over a wk from 3 rd wk of June 2017. It was warmer than historical averages.
In the mid 80's, no rain. For me it was too hot to be walking the ruins etc.
I would try for late may to early june if u have a choice.
Thankfully we all had ac avail in bus and hotels
I am uncertain whether all RS tours have ac.
Charlie, I took the RS Sicily Tour in early May, 2014. It was wonderful, and the weather was perfect. I do not remember any rain, or very hot or very cool temperatures. I think the itinerary is a little different now than it was back then. I spent my first two nights, on my own, before the tour, in Erice and it was a favorite spot, and my first dinner there was my most memorable of the whole trip!
I was in Sicilia for most of May and the first half of June this year. I was happy to have a light sweater some evenings in May, but it was great touring weather everywhere.
I was in Sicily in late April and early May 2014. I had great weather, warm to hot, but not too hot to enjoy being outside. And wildflowers were blooming, which made some of the drives very pretty.
