Nearby is the majestic Temple of Concordia, the second best-preserved Doric temple after the Parthenon. Its excellent state is from its conversion into a Christian church. In front, the bronze statue of Icarus by sculptor Igor Mitoraj depicts his fall into the sea. Next, we visit the Temple of Hercules, named for a bronze statue of the hero inside, and enjoy prickly pear trees and panoramic valley views.

What are people saying about Sicily

Paul_B, Oct 2026

Exceptional tour of Mt. Etna and wine experience!

The morning with Alex on Mt. Etna was amazing; he is a faunt of knowledge, excellent English, and not just about Etna but volcanoes all over the world. It made for an incredible experience on the volcano. The afternoon wine tour at Gambino was excellent as well; generous pouring of wines, refills not question, and a very wonderful 4 course expected lunch. The entire visit was worth every penny and more!

Palermo Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better

Stacey_F, Oct 2026

Great tour!

Great food tour while learning about the beautiful city of Palermo! Annalisa was amazing and so knowledgeable. We were running late and she shared her location so we would catch up with the group, it was no problem. The food was delicious and I learned so much about their traditions. Highly recommend if you’re in Palermo! You will love it!

Taormina and Castelmola Tour from Messina

Dawn_K, Oct 2026

Beautiful trip up onto the mountain side!

Because I was traveling with two 80+ year olds, we originally booked for a small group tour. Unfortunately it didn’t have enough participants but the company was fantastic at communicating and giving us alternatives. They get a 10+ for that! We ended up doing a large group with about 30 people and the bus was easy for my mom and aunt to get in and out of. The tour itself was fun and informative. The drive to Castelmola was beautiful but not for the faint of heart. The time in Taormina involved a fairly long walking tour. Because of mom and aunt, we ducked out of it early in favor of pizza and gelato… what better way to spend a couple of hours when in Sicily!

Etna Jeep OffRoad Tour: Lava Flows,Etna Wines,Lunch at 6,561 ft

Simon_T, Oct 2026

Amazing tour of Etna

An excellent experience with Alessandro. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about volcanos and Mount Etna and the local region. Tour started with delicious wine at a family vineyard on the slopes after a walk through the vines and the opportunity to see the locals at work picking and sorting the grapes. The tour up Mount Etna was really informative taking in historic lava flows, tunnels and breathtaking views, ending with a lovely lunch at a chalet restaurant near to the cable car to the volcano summit.

Brittany_S, Oct 2026

A MUST do while in Taormina

This was our favorite day of our Sicily honeymoon. We got picked up from our air b and b by Johnny, who happened to be one of the sweetest people we have ever met. He told us the background of Etna and answered any questions we had. There was a group of 6 of us on the tour and he made sure we were all comfortable. After hiking Etna and then going in a really cool cave, we went to the winery. What an awesome experience. We were given 5 different wines to try and they refilled our glasses if we liked them. Lunch was delicious with meats and cheeses paired with different wine followed by sausage and potato wedges with other little sides. Outstanding. We ended up ordering a bunch of bottles to be shipped back home to the US. Do this excursion. You will not be disappointed!

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

Seth_B, Oct 2026

Beaches, Blue Water, and Boat Rides

This was the first boat tour i did with multiple groups. Enjoyed getting to meet new people, and the staff was great. From the knowledge of the area, the snacks and drinks, to the time out in the water. Only thing i missed was the "bring your own towels" disclaimer. Make sure you bring one with you!

Don't Eat Beforehand!!

Extremely informative and well thought out tour!! DO NOT EAT any breakfast before you go to the 9:30 am tour!! Made that mistake! Our tour guide, Simona, provided insight into why foods are prepared the way they are and the origins of how they came to be! Very enjoyable and filling tour!!

Etna Countryside Food & Wine Lovers Tour (Small Group or Private)

Tunde_N, Sep 2026

Perfect small-group Sicily experience for wine&food lovers

This tour was the highlight of our long weekend break on Sicily. Orazio was the perfect guide, telling us a lot of interesting things about the island, the language, the traditions, the connection between the people and the Etna during the drive. At the winery he handed us over to another guide who took us on a short walk along the vines and then into the cellar. Then came the tasting session - 3 lovely wines and incredible small plates to go with them, followed by a short drive to a restaurant where we were treated to more courses and more wines. Everything was delicious, we all had a great time - the perfect gastrotourism experience!

Palermo : Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Chris_S, Sep 2026

Private walking tour Palermo

A great tour that gives you an insight into the city’s history and culture. You can’t pick different durations to suit your needs, we did 3hrs. Our guide was super knowledgeable and showed us all the major sites and some parts we probably wouldn’t have seen. She also gave us great advice on some of the best places to visit and where to eat. All in all the tour gave us a good understanding of the area and how to navigate the city. Thank you.

Suzy_W, Sep 2026

Fabulous food tour

We had a fabulous couple of hours with our guide Adele. She was very entertaining and knowledgeable about Taormina and Sicily. The food and wine we tried was amazing, so authentic and tasty. It was great to explore the alley ways away from the main street and eat from old family businesses.

Taormina Castelmola : private cruise tour from Messina

aukjegerrits, Aug 2026

Not just a tour - it’s the Sicilian experience!

We had the most wonderful day in Sicily with Alessandro and Marissa, visiting Castelmola, Taormina and Messina. From the very beginning, it was clear that they weren't just there to give us a tour - they wanted to give us a truly memorable experience. We started in beautiful Castelmola, where they took us to what must be the best bar in town. The story behind it is absolutely hilarious - ask Marissa to tell you the story! We had a lovely drink there, tried the original cannoli and, most importantly, had a lot of laughs together. Taormina was another highlight. It is absolutely beautiful, and Marissa brought the history to life with all the stories and details she shared with us. And then, on the way back, Alessandro and Marissa somehow transformed our tour van into a driving karaoke bus! J'& We sang along to some of the most famous Italian songs, which was such a fun and unexpected part of the day. And as if that wasn't enough, they took us for gelato after the tour - the perfect finishing touch to an already perfect day. If you're looking for a day in Sicily that feels personal, fun and full of genuine local experiences, I would 100% recommend Alessandro and Marissa. They have different tours available, so definitely check them out and find the experience that's perfect for you. Thank you both for such a fantastic day - we will remember it for a long time! And when we're back in Sicily, we will definitely book another tour with you!
