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.

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.

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

Kristyn_C, Aug 2026

Good half day excursion

Being driven around alone was worth it as the views are spectacular. We didn’t really get a background on the mafia but the tour itself was great. Our guide knew his stuff and was a clear fan of the movies. I would recommend to anyone, even those not in love with the Godfather.

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

Ivor_C, July 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, 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!

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!
