What are people saying about Taormina

Elizabeth_N, Jul 2026

This cooking class was...

This cooking class was awesome! The whole group got along really well and Massimo made it a great environment! We started with a tour of the market and learned about local produce, fish, and meat before walking to the house. The view from the house was beautiful, so it was a very scenic way to make lunch! The cooking was really fun and the whole group agreed we learned a lot of skills and recipes that we would use again! The food tasted INCREDIBLE! We had plenty of time to eat and drink and hangout. It was just a really amazing time! We loved it! Lastly, there were two people with celiac in the group (gluten free) and we felt very safe and the accommodations were little things that allowed for us to still have all the food (ie no breadcrumbs in the meatballs for the two of us and gluten free pasta in separate water). We would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend...

I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide Roberto was excellent and was not just extremely kind and energetic, but also very knowledgeable and provided us with so much information about Mt. Etna not only while we were hiking, but also on the ride there and back. Transportation was convenient as we were picked up and dropped off close to our hotel and they were able to accommodate food allergies for the provided lunch with wine tasting.

Fantastic!

What a fantastic experience. Authentic cooking, a wonderful Sicilian family restaurant with authentic cooking experiences, tips, flavours, and lots of fun! Our meal and wine were delicious! The location of the restaurant on the sea was beautiful. We felt welcomed and enjoyed the whole experience. Was a fantastic way to meet and chat with some other wonderful travellers from around the world too!

The tour representative...

The tour representative was right outside the dock when we walked off the cruise ship. She pointed us in the direction of our guide, Andrea. He was very knowledgeable about Sicily and especially about Taormina, where we spent most of our time. The boat ride was fun and everyone enjoyed the time swimming to cool off. The local cookies Andrea served us with some Prosecco were a treat as well. We also had two hours to roam around the beautiful town of Taormina and had a delicious lunch at a restaurant Andrea recommended.

Private 6-Hour Tour of Three Etna Wineries with food&wine tasting

Frank_M, Jul 2026

Great day out from Taormina

We had a slight delay as our original driver was called away, but Elena picked us up shortly after that and did a great job driving us around to the wineries and telling us about some of the sites we passed. The first winery was beautiful and had an interesting tasting room and the wine was pretty good. The second winery was a lot of fun as it is 2 brothers who make small batch wine that we really liked. In addition we had lunch there that was awesome. The 3rd winery was nice, the wine was OK and we got even more food to eat with the tasting, but it was a little pretentious. Overall we had a really fun time tasting and eating!

Ätna and Taormina, breathtaking landscape, interesting hike and beautiful town

The tour guide was great—friendly and helpful. The hike on Mount Etna was very interesting and offered us some beautiful views. The tasting was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. We skipped the cave tour so we could spend more time in Taormina. Taormina is beautiful but very touristy. The sights are still worth seeing, and there are plenty of places to eat. We recommend restaurants outside of the main street.

Great option for a low impact and fun Etna experience

Fun tour with local information, wine tasting and a short walk up an old crater. Pick up and drop off from hotel was very convenient. Our driver Alex and guide Alessandro were great. When a storm rolled in Alessandro guided is off the crater and got us off Etna quickly and safely. Highly recommend

Debbie_D, Jul 2026

Great time!

Had a wonderful time! With the help of Chef, his mamma and trusty sous chefs, we made 2 pasta dishes and 1 amazing fish dish. While pasta dough was rising we were treated to tomatoes and mozzarella. Everyone was able to contribute - crushing tomatoes, picking basil off the stem, sautéing veggies. It was very hot- but thy gave us lots of beverages to cool down. We shared a nice meal outside with our new friends.

Shirley_J, Jun 2026

A beautiful day trip in Messina

The Godfather vs. Mafia excursion was nothing short of amazing! Our tour guide, Valerio was very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He did an excellent job of juxtaposing the theme of the movie with the real life violent history of the mafia family from Sicily. The tour was enjoyable and the pasta lunch was delicious!! I most definitely recommend this tour when visiting Messina!

Wine Tasting - Mount Etna

This wine tasting touring was awesome. It was around a hour drive with beautiful views from Taormina where we were staying. Our tour guide, Orazio, was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel easy. Gave us great background on the area, the wine, and Mount Etna without making it feel like a lecture. The wineries were beautiful, the wine was incredible, and the views around Etna were unreal. Could not recommend this experience enough. If you’re in Sicily and enjoy a little bit of drinking, this is absolutely worth doing.

Sailing Tour Taormina Bay

wendy_h, Sep 2025

Brilliant trip!

Paulo was our skipper for the day and what an afternoon it was. With just 6 punters on board it made it for a personal experience. We sailed from Naxos along the coast to Taormina and the views are stunning, especially Mount Etna smouldering in the background. We had a couple of swim and snorkel stops along the way followed by a moored stop with cheese, salami and as much wine as needed. On the return to Naxos, Paulo gave my husband the opportunity to take the helm for 30 minutes with his expert guidance. He’s been unbearable since! We had the most awesome day with great company, highly recommended to all.
