Amazing day with Alessandro
Great trip! We were picked up directly at our hotel it was super smooth. Alessandro was very fun to be with, very knowledgeable about Sicily and Mt. Etna. All around a great experience and the best way to learn and experience the area. Highly recommend!

Touring Sicily
The tour of some small Sicilian mountian villages (Taormina and Castelmola) was absolutely wonderful. Enzo was a wonderful driver navigating the mountainous roads expertly and safely. Kimberly was a wonderful tour guide whose energy was contagious. Thier love for the area was evident and allowed us to tour and see some unique stops and sites not on the normal tour. A walking tour in Taormina which included the Trevelyan Park (Villa Comunale) was a true gem. Recommendations for lunch at Momma Rossa's was also a hidden gem and provided a truly wonderful memory. The free time was well spaced out and enough guidance provided to make good choices while on our own. 5 star experience from a 5 star duo.

Great trip
We will definitely use this service again. Booking via Viator was very easy and easy to reach when I had a question, and the tour manager patiently explained all the possibilities, which reassured us before the trip. The arrangements and coordination were excellent, the drivers were great, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed the trip.

A must do!
We had an absolutely fantastic small group tour to Savoca and Taormina, made unforgettable by Anna and our driver, Elizabeth.
Anna was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the history and culture of the region. She brought Savoca to life with fascinating stories (including its connection to The Godfather), and gave us just the right balance of guided insight and free time to explore Taormina at our own pace. Highly recommended!

The hosts are lovely and the food delicious!
We had a wonderful time from start to finish on this unforgettable cooking class in Messina! The chef and her husband are lovely and welcomed us into their lovely home. We chose to have them pick us up from the cruise port and take us back which was extra but so worth it for the convenience and we got to chat with him and learn more about their family before the class started.
The pasta was so much fun to make while being so easy! The kids even loved to participate in rolling the dough out and putting it through the machine. We also made tiramisu which was probably the best I’ve ever had!
You will not be disappointed at all with this experience!

Awesome Tour With Alex
Alex is an awesome guide! Results are in, and Alex is the smartest and most entertaining guide on the mountain. He is very passionate and knowledgeable about volcanoes. He provided a lot of information, took pictures for us, and answered our questions. We had the best time and highly recommend this tour with Alex.

Incredible! Fun and educational!
This was a wonderful class. Our hostess, Daniela, was warm and welcoming and more than happy to answer questions. Visiting her home was a treat. She greeted us with wine and appetizers which we were able to snack on as we prepared our pasta dough. We made dough from both flour and semolina and then formed cavatelli, ravioli, and pappardelli. The meal was delicious and ended with a mouth-watering homemade canoli!

Great guide, driver and tour!
Great tour with Sara. Driver navigated skillfully on narrow roads and got us close to stops. Sara has lived in Sicily her whole life and has lots of knowledge of history, good sense of humor! Highly recommend. Meeting place right at cruise pier, very convenient!

Absolutely Beautiful!!!
What a beautiful tour! We were simply amazed with the beauty of these places. Our guide, Perry and driver, Alberto were extremely hospitable and felt like family by the end of the tour. We had an incredible lunch (best in our 2 week trip in Europe) at Mama Rosa’s. Wow! We would recommend this 10/10 times!!

Private Messina tour from cruise port
This tour was professionally handled in a great manner. From pre trip communication to meeting at the port to the tour and drop off back at port, this was a great experience. Lilllo was early to pick us up ( we were early too as the pick up was right as we disembarked!). He shared historical, cultural and fun information as we went along the tour. Due to weather, the itinerary was adjusted and we visited unexpected places for a fun treat. He gave us choices and ample time to explore Taormina and Castlemola with a view of Isola Bella. He pointed out fun facts and locations about White Lotus and The Godfather. We chose not to go to the beach because of rain. Transportation was totally comfortable and, on the return to Messina, we were treated with REAL gelato and cannoli’s. The church there was spectacular inside. Our group of 7 had a great experience and much thanks to Lillo for taking us around and teaching us about this lovely place.
