The 13 Sicily Inspector Montalbano Tours That Are Worth the Money

1.Southeast Sicily Inspector Montalbano Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 76 reviews · from $126Our pick

Spend eight hours tracing Inspector Montalbano’s Sicily with a live guide in English, French, Italian, or Spanish. From Catania, visit Marinella in Punta Secca, Ragusa Ibla, and Scicli’s Vigata police station. Guides such as Giacomo, Marzia, Sandra, and Daniel have tailored the day for guests.

“The trip was a bit unlucky because we got heavy rainfall throughout the tour. So some parts, that could have been more enjoyable, weren't. Of course this was not the guide's fault. Another aspect of this tour is that for the sheer amount of driving, what you get is a relatively small time at the sites. That again is not the driver's fault, it is how things are. From Catania, it is just a lot of driving. Perhaps they should try to insert another stop, like Noto, to make more out of all the road-tripping.”

2.Inspector Montalbano Locations Tour of Southeast Sicily

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 68 reviews · from $124

Follow Inspector Montalbano’s screen trail through southeast Sicily on an eight-hour small-group tour from Catania. Visit Salvo’s seaside home at Punta Secca, film locations in Ragusa and Scicli, and the Vigata police headquarters. Guides such as Alessio and Carmelo add local history, food tips, and series insight.

“Daniela the tour guide was very knowledgeable, and gave us information about Sicilian history and architecture as well as about the TV series. The tour was very friendly and relaxed, we had plenty of time to take everything in. Because of the amount of time travelling to the locations, a larger vehicle might have been a more comfortable choice. We still enjoyed the day and Daniela's company and knowledge. This tour is suitable even if you have never seen the series, you would enjoy the beautiful Baroque towns, narrow cobbled streets and charming seaside village.”

The sites were saw - his house, the lighthouse, the police station, the view when the program starts and other sites were so incredible and exciting.

“Montalbano tour and the locations visited are great especially for the series fans. Our tour car was not the expected one. It was the second time in three days that they took us with the same emergency car. First Syracuse tour and secondly Montalbano tour. We asked for partial refund because we were not happy with the car. The owner of the tour company said that the type of the car was not written in the booking and therefore we didn’t had the right for refund. We accepted his remarks and still told him that this was not our expectation. The tour guide Riccardo was OK. Later on the tour…”
