What are people saying about Taormina

Cindy_B, Nov 2026

Fantastic tour of Mt Etna & Taormina

My tour to Mt Etna and Taormina by Etna Tribe was simply brilliant. Francisco our guide was the most incredible, kindest person I have ever had the privilege to meet and have as a tour guide. His historical knowledge of Mt Etna, lava caves & Taormina made the day effortless and very interesting. The walk from base at Etna was sprinkled with trails that he knew quite well and each and every area we stopped was incredibly scenic. Taking us through the lava cave was fascinating, again Francisco supported the people who required guidance, assurance and assistance. Taormina is a truly beautiful town and we spent adequate time feasting on its beauty. Without hesitation I recommend this tour with Etna Tribe and if you’re lucky enough to be blessed with Francisco your day will be hugely satisfying. Thank you Etna tribe and especially Francisco for making my dreams come true.

COOKING CLASS in Taormina at Chef Massimo HOUSE!!

Chris, Oct 2026

Taormina Cooking Class

Massimo is the greatest host and chef. Second time doing his shopping and cooking adventure in Taormina as I knew it would be a wonderful experience and wanted to share it with my friends! Beautiful location for an outdoor lunch prepared by our group. Massimo coordinated the prep and cooking so all could learn techniques and he provide good insight into how and why the process led to optimal outcome.

Mount Etna Half-Day Small Group Tour from Taormina

David_A, Oct 2026

Not Only High, but Extremely Wide, Windy and Well Worth It

Dan was an excellent guide. He is a local who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, funny, very informative, caring and had a great grasp of English. We couldn't have been more pleased with how our "1/2 day" excursion went. The weather forecast turned wet but Dan ensured we were properly dressed, including having boots and ponchos on. Although cool as expected, the sun came out, the views from near the summit were breathtaking and we discovered that Mount Etna covers a massive area of Sicily. Be prepared for a very windy ascent to near the summit. Well worth the time and cost. Thanks again, Dan!

Etna and Wine an experience between nature and aromas with taste.

Emma_C, Oct 2026

Best tour I’ve ever taken!

We booked this excursion a day ahead as we weren’t sure how the weather was going to be. Since it was a bit of a rushed decision, I didn’t fully look into the details of what we were doing. As a result, I was completely blown away. For starters, our guide Alex was SO knowledgeable about volcanoes. I truly felt like I was on a series being made for the Discovery Channel the entire excursion because he knew so much. The tour itself started with a drive through Mt. Etna’s forest, where we learned all about how the volcanic ash adds nutrients to the soil causing the vegetation to truly thrive there. Our first stop was a cave made from lava flow. It was very interesting learning about how the lava and gasses shaped the caves structure and how it was used for an ice business back in the day. From there, we went further up Mt. Etna, passing by what seemed like fields of volcanic rock making it seem like we were on another planet. We stopped at a cute mountain chalet for some coffee in the woods, then continued our ascent to the hiking portion of the tour. In all honesty, I thought we booked a tour that didn’t have much hiking as I recently had ACL reconstruction surgery and I was a bit worried about what my knee could handle. While there were a few areas that challenged my ability, overall it was quite easy and Alex ensured we were safely getting around. We stopped every now and then to learn about the craters and the volcanic bombs and basically everything else that has to do with actual eruptions. After exploring the area, we made our way to Gambino Winery for an experience that was truly special. The lunch was the best food we’ve had since being in Italy and the wine was PHENOMENAL. Our waiter/sommelier was so nice, knowledgeable, and kept the wine flowing. I was honestly in shock over how much wine we got out of the experience. My partner is the type of person who doesn’t love to do tours and things of that nature, but he also had an amazing time. We truly cannot thank Alex enough for the incredible experience he provided for us. If you’re looking for a tour of Mt. Etna that combines adventure with a luxurious relaxing afternoon, look no further.

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

Adele_P, Oct 2026

Fantastic Taormina Sicilian Street Food Tour

Warning: Do not eat before you go on this tour! 😂 The food is plentiful, absolutely delicious and there is so much to try! We had a brilliant time sampling a wonderful variety of local street. Everything was delicious, and there was certainly no chance of going hungry. Our tour guide, Allegra, was so lovely, friendly and welcoming. She made the experience even more enjoyable and was a pleasure to spend time with. If you’re visiting Taormina and want to experience authentic Sicilian food in great company, I would highly recommend this tour. Come hungry and enjoy every bite! 🇮🇹🍕🍋

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

Lynette_S, Oct 2026

Beware of Neri Etna

This was a fabulous tour and well worth the money spent. We visited three very different wineries, all of them beautiful. Our driver Bruno was the best! We ordered wine from all three wineries to be shipped home. We received our wine from two of the wineries very promptly; however, we have still not received our wine from Neri Etna. We have contacted them several times and they have promised to send it, but it has been over two months. Unfortunately, we paid them in cash so we have no credit card company to fall back on. So, although we definitely recommend this tour, beware of ordering any wine from Neri Etna. Viator should think twice about including this place on their tours.

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

Louise_K, Oct 2026

You'll love this

A terrific blend for those wanting to know more about Etna, without climbing it. Allesandro is a font of knowledge and a delight to be with. Hos passion shines through. Loved the vineyard visit also. We were so lucky to be there when the folks were harvesting grapes by hand, and we saw the first part of the journey onto wine. A great local visit.

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

Tunde_N, Sept 2026

Perfect small-group Sicily experience for wine&food lovers

This tour was the highlight of our long weekend break on Sicily. Orazio was the perfect guide, telling us a lot of interesting things about the island, the language, the traditions, the connection between the people and the Etna during the drive. At the winery he handed us over to another guide who took us on a short walk along the vines and then into the cellar. Then came the tasting session - 3 lovely wines and incredible small plates to go with them, followed by a short drive to a restaurant where we were treated to more courses and more wines. Everything was delicious, we all had a great time - the perfect gastrotourism experience!

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

Tracey_M, Sept 2026

Brilliant tour. Brilliant guide Brilliant food. What’s not to like!

Worth every penny! Picked up from our accommodation by our guide for the day Carlos. He is a brilliant guide. The tour was funny, interesting, and I was gripped the whole time. He was really attentive to our needs and I felt well looked after. Wonderful tour. Great food and drinks. Gorgeous views. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Private Transfer Catania Airport ⇄ Taormina

Margarita_M, Sept 2026

Perfect transfer experience!

Our transfer experience was wonderful! The driver was attentive to our flight and tracked it prior to our landing. He communicated with us as soon as we landed and shared a clear picture to mark the meeting spot. He ended up picking us up earlier than we requested because our flight was early, so we did not have to wait at the airport. Would certainly use again!

Siracusa - Ortigia & Noto Tour

Mary_T, Aug 2026

Martino made the experience!

I was a little concerned before the tour because the day-of ended up being quite hot and we had our 5-month old baby. Martino was our driver and he made it a 10/10 experience. He dropped us off in areas where we could minimize too much time in the direct heat and was very mindful of helping us feel comfortable and have what we needed. He really went above and beyond. Outside of that, the tour was great. Martino was a great driver, the car was clean and he gave us great information at each stop so we knew what to look for. He also was personable and enjoyable to spend the day with while we were driving. This is a great tour if you’re looking for a knowledgeable driver who will give you great information and then you do the actual exploring on your own and meet him back when you’re ready for the next stop. A great way to see these beautiful cities!!
