Bookings

How do I book an experience with Epic Sicily?

There are two ways. Tours run directly by us have a “Book now” button: pick a date and your spots, pay online and confirmation is instant. Experiences run by our local partners have “Request availability” instead: you send a request and we check with the partner before anything is confirmed.

What does “Request availability” mean?

It means the booking is not instant: you send a request with your date and group size, your card is only authorized and nothing is charged until the partner confirms availability. If the partner cannot confirm, the authorization is released and you pay nothing.

How long does it take to get a request confirmed?

Usually within a few hours, and never more than 24 hours. We keep you updated on WhatsApp — the fastest channel — as well as by email.

Can I book last minute?

Yes. On our last-minute page you’ll find Epic Sicily tours with real departures today, tomorrow and this week, bookable instantly online. Many partner experiences are possible last minute too, on request: ask and we’ll check as quickly as possible.

Payments

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit and debit cards. For Epic Sicily tours you pay in the online checkout when you book; for partner experiences card payments are handled by Stripe. Either way, payment is secure and there are no hidden fees.

When is my card charged?

For Epic Sicily tours with instant confirmation, at the moment of booking. For on-request partner experiences, your card is only authorized when you send the request and charged only after the partner confirms.

Are there any extra or hidden costs?

No. The price you see on the experience page is the price you pay.

Cancellations and weather

Can I cancel my booking?

For Epic Sicily tours booked online, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund; no-shows are not refunded. For partner experiences, the terms you read before confirming your request apply. Full details are in our cancellation policy.

What happens in case of bad weather?

If we or the partner cancel the experience due to weather, the choice is yours: a new date at no extra cost or a full refund.

How long do refunds take?

Refunds are processed through the payment provider and usually arrive within 5–10 business days, to the same payment method you booked with.

On the day of the tour

Where do we meet? What is the meeting point?

The meeting point is shown on each tour page and repeated in your booking confirmation, so it’s always at hand.

What language are the tours in?

Our tours run in Italian and English.

How do I reach you on the day of the tour?

The fastest channel is WhatsApp at +39 351 316 4376: we reply quickly. You can also email us at info@epicsicily.it.

Groups and private tours

How big are the groups?

We keep groups small: more time with your guide, more flexibility and no megaphones.

Do you run private or tailor-made tours?

Yes. We can build a private or tailor-made itinerary for couples, families and small groups: tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll design it together.

Do you work with travel agencies and companies?

Yes: we work with agencies, tour operators and companies (team building included). Everything you need is in our B2B area.
