What are people saying about Taormina

Ivor_C, Jul 2026

A brilliant way to discover Taormina!

A lovely way to explore Taormina. Over the course of the three hours we learnt a huge amount about this beautiful town and of course sampled the local food and drink at four spots - all of which we would not have discovered ourselves. Our guide Mariella was great fun and a constant source of local knowledge. Overall a five star way to discover Toarmina and to have a taste of it's culinary delights. Give it a go!

COOKING CLASS in Taormina at Chef Massimo HOUSE!!

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!

Mount Etna Half-Day Small Group Tour from Taormina

Veljko_V, Jul 2026

Great for people who enjoy nature and some hiking

Very fun experience. Our guide was amazing and really took us to some great views and interesting spots. Very knowledgeable and I loved his explanations about how the rocks and craters form. The lava tunnel was super cool too. Definitely worth a trip!

The Godfather tour Sicily

Snezana_S, Jul 2026

Definitely worth the money.

We had a wonderful tour of Savoca and Forza d’Agrò. The evening before, Marcello contacted us via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting point, and the next morning we were picked up directly from our hotel and dropped off at the same place afterwards. Marcello was an excellent guide and brought the tour to life with his colorful storytelling. If you’ve forgotten some scenes from The Godfather, he will gladly refresh your memory and show you exactly where each scene was filmed. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the movie and made the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. Definitely worth the money — highly recommended!

Taormina and Isola Bella Day Tour with Boat Trip from Messina

Vicki_Z, Jul 2026

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.

Godfather vs Mafia Tour & Pasta Lunch (Small Group or Private)

Simon_S, Jul 2026

Excellent - very enjoyable

The trip overall was fantastic with an affable, knowledgeable guide who had excellent English. Bar Vitelli was covered in foliage that prevented any photos of the outside unless you entered and bought something or on the day we went unless you had a booking. One of the churches was undergoing renovations but it was great to see it and Savoca. The lunch was surprisingly good and the various stops on our journey were very much worthwhile. Even if you aren't a Godfather fan the trip may suit you as you see so much of the surrounding countryside and its villages. Our group of four gave an average mark of 9/10. Excellent

Sea View Sicilian Cooking Class with Chef Mimmo

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.

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

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

James_B, Jun 2026

Great day

This experience was excellent, great way to spend a day if you are taking a trip to Taormina. This is a great way to see the eastern side of Mt. Etna. The three vineyards were all great and each one had a different energy and story. Our driver was great and had a lot of interesting information about the mountain. The tour is a whole day but it was a good mix of speaking with the driver and vineyard guides and then also having time with your group to enjoy the wine, food and views.

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

Tara_T, Jun 2026

Antonio made this...

Antonio made this experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we were picked up, he shared a beautiful narrative of Sicily’s history, culture, and landscape on the drive to Palmento Costanzo. The vineyard itself was stunning and impeccably maintained, and the wine tasting was excellent, paired with a delicious selection of cheeses. We ended the day with an authentic local lunch featuring an abundance of appetizers, pasta, and more wine. Antonio was truly exceptional. Highly, highly recommend.

Siracusa - Ortigia & Noto Tour

Deborah_J, Oct 2025

Fabulous trip!!! Grazie Martino!

Our driver Martino was simply the best. We were fortunate enough to only be two of us on our tour. Martino was so friendly. We exchanged stories and interesting facts, discussed movies that we all like, he even got his mother to give me her recipe for ricotta cheese! It was like we spent the day with a friend not just a tour guide!
