What are people saying about Taormina

Robert_C, Jul 2026

‘This is a tour you can’t refuse!’

Although we were staying in Giardini Naxos, the tour company agreed to collect us from our hotel which was really helpful as other guests were travelling from Taormina. From start to finish, Carlos our guide was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. He always ensured we were comfortable walking in the heat and made life easier by cooling the mini van before we embarked on the next part of the tour. As fans of the Godfather Trilogy - we could not have asked for more. He intertwined personal anecdotes and interesting facts before arriving at the destinations which really brought the locations to life. This was all rounded off with a superb lunch with our small group which was a great way to end the experience. For those of you who are visiting Sicily for the first time it is also a great way to get insights on the culture and history of the area. Worth every penny!

Taormina: Sicilian Street Food & Wine Tour by Do Eat Better

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!

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!

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

Florence_L, Jul 2026

A great adventure

This was an excellent tour, the tour guide and his wife were excellent. On the way up Mt Etna began smoking. The tour guide was extremely informative. We stopped at a winery where we saw a little movie of how the wine was made many years ago in the 1865. They also had cherries, lemons and other fruits on the farm. We saw a round Rainbow called an Angels rainbow which is very rare. We ate at the only restaurant on Mt Etna. My salad was excellent, but people complained about the food, which was all carbohydrates.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
