What is the best way to get to Sicily for the tour starting in Palerno? Is it best to try round trip to Rome and then take a flight into Sicily?

It really depends on where you are flying from and your budget. I know Lufthansa flies to PMO and CAT if you want to fly all on one ticket.

Thank you, we fly from a small airport so that makes it difficult. Did you use ITA airlines?

Back in 2018, I flew to Milan, spent a couple of nights there, then flew via easy jet to Palermo.
After my visit to Sicily I flew from Catania back to Milan.
Enjoy your time in beautiful Sicily!

It's what we did but we spent a few nights in Rome. If you are booking a flight to Rome and then a separate carrier (ITA, Ryanair, etc) to Palermo then having at least a nite in Rome is a good idea in case your flight to Rome is delayed.

On our last trip to Sicily, we flew into Milan and enjoyed a couple of days and finally managed to see the Last Supper.
Suggest no matter what you decide to do, give a couple of extra days in Palermo before the tour. It is an amazing city and the food is awesome.

To Sicily, we flew into Rome, then directly to Catania via ITA. Returned to Rome from Palermo. Easy, peasy.
