What are people saying about Taormina

Deborah_N, Aug 2026

An Amazing Day in Sicily

Excellent tour guide in Catania. Sicily, Italy. I may mot spell it correctly . Cheers to Carrillo. He gave excellent instructions where to meet us by the cruise port. We saw everything and even did some shopping. Beautiful historic sites and architecture. Castelmola was picturesque. Our tour included visiting a family owned cannoli shop to watch them make the delicious treats . We each enjoyed a cannoli. Our day ended with tasting arancini and almond wine from the region. His English was excellent and his car was clean and cool. We invited him to come visit us in Texas and we would take him to a Texan livestock show and rodeo in Houston . It was an amazing day.

Lulu was amazing!

It was a wonderful day! Lulu was amazing. Great at pointing out all the things we were seeing. There were absolutely no negatives including having to pick up some folks who accidentally got on the wrong boat! She made it seamless. Just another part of the fun.

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

Kerri_M, Aug 2026

Local Guide with Love of Sicily

Unusual experience…. at first I was like “wait what” and thought maybe this was a mistake as we jumped in this locals Nissan (not Jeep, lol he said that’s just what they call all 4x4) and our first stop was for gas …. but actually this turned out to be an unforgettable day. He loves Sicily and loves the history of Mt Etna and if you want to hear the passion from a local this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Wine tasting at a local vineyard (best wine ever) even eating his homemade bread and jam with the wine, stopping at the lava quarry and lava flows and eating atop Mt Etna were all highlights! We came in on a cruise ship and his pick up spot was just outside the port (we walked and totally easy/doable walk). Overall an experience we won’t forget.

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

Robert_C, July 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!

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, July 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!

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 Godfather tour Sicily

Snezana_S, July 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!

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

Frank_M, July 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!

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!
