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.

Alessio was tremendous!

Spectacular 9-hour trip with just 6 others in our group. We hiked Etna, visited the Grotta dei Tre Livelli wearing helmets (thank goodness!) and carrying lamps, stopped at MYETNA for tastings of olive oils, pistachio Nutella, honeys, and liquors made of prickly pear, lemon, etc. as well as white and red wines. We had 2 hours of free time in Taormina for lunch and riding the Funivia. Alessio was a terrific guide through it all. 100% recommend!

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

Adele Adele Adele - great tour guide

3 things to know about this tour !!! Our guide was so kind. It was refreshing to talk to someone mature after we had a nightmare experience and uncaring guide when we booked an expensive tour at the Vatican the day before through the Get-your-guide app .. 2. The streets during June peak season are insane. It is hot and you won’t be able to hear unless you are close to the guide. There are no ear mics 3. We had a mini wine tasting at stop #2. Tried an amazing cherry wine. I’ve learned with two completely different guide experiences back to back and with different vendors that it all depends on the temperament of your guide. I was lucky to have a contrasting experience to remember this and sometimes you get a stif. But not with this particular program. I’m a huge fan! Just hard to hear in the crowds sometimes.

Mt Etna hike and Gambino Winery Tour

From start to finish this was a brilliant day. Our guide Lucas was so knowledgeable and friendly - making us laugh a lot and made us feel very comfortable. He had a huge amount of information on Mt Etna and clearly has a passion for the region and it's people. The wine tasting at Gambino is a must do activity, I've never done such a fantastic tasting with such high quality food. Lovely staff and the perfect end to a great day

Excellent Adventure

The operators of this tour were extremely friendly, and were more than willing to accommodate any needs you may have. Furthermore, the food provided was excellent, much better than we were expecting. The places that we stopped to swim were also very cool, the water was so clear and beautiful. Definitely book this if you are considering it.

Sicilian Cooking Class

This Sicilian cooking class with Chef Marcello was fantastic! We made arancini, pasta al a Norma with fresh made pasta and cannoli and enjoyed it with a glass or two of wine for lunch. I learnt some new techniques and do’s and dont’s with Sicilian cooking. I definitely recommend this class.

Top notch small group tour with Michael "Corleone"

We were in a small group and our van driver was Michael "Corleone". He was an excellent historian and tour guide, giving us a plethora of knowledge about Taormina, Castelmola and Catania. They are all extremely beautiful cities and worth visiting, but Michael really made the tour top notch!

The Perfect Taormina Day

Paria and Alberto were terrific. The tour was beautiful and interesting with just the right balance of guiding and having time on your own. Taormina is beautiful and well worth the trip, especially the Greek theater and views of Mt Etna, Taormina and Ionian Sea. An added bonus of stopping in Castelmola was great, and we sampled the perfect cannoli. We were there in January so crowds were low and weather was cool and breezy. That's our sweet spot for travel. Alberto's kind personality and Paria's bubbly enthusiasm were the icing on the cake.

Etna excursion 3000 meters with 4x4 cable car and Trekking

scaputo3030, Nov 2025

Amazing Views with a Challenging Hike

The views on top of Mt Etna are out of this world stunning. Our guide Pepe, was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about volcanoes. We took the gondola, then jeep and hiked the remaining way up to the top(3000 meters). We walked around the spines of the craters, through a lava channel and back down to the gondola. Although the tour says it’s a moderate activity, we would rate it strenuous. You should also not be weary of very close high altitudes. The spines are only 2 to 3 feet wide with drop offs on each side. We are all physically fit and agreed the hike requires strong endurance. Overall. Highly recommended.

Palermo : Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale CruiserCar Tour

Megan_F, Sept 2025

Absolute must when in Palermo!

This tour was honestly one of my family’s favorite things we did while in Sicily. Coming off of a busy few days in Rome, this was the perfect thing for us to do. It was us (5 adults), our driver and our guide, Fabrizio. The cruiser car was very comfortable (and VERY clean) and we had great weather. The amount of snacks and beverages included were far more than I had expected. They even tried to send more drinks with us from the cooler after the tour ended. We had some flight problems before arriving in Sicily and Fabrizio was wonderful to communicate with and changed our tour time to the afternoon with no issues. We got to learn some history during the tour while seeing amazing things and views. They offered to take group photos for us, too. They also offered to let us play our own music via the Bluetooth speaker but we told them to pick the music and their playlist was far better than ours would have been. We had a lot of people looking at us in the cruiser car, and we heard many of them saying, “Why didn’t we do something like that?!” We got to see all of the main sites without any hassle or walking forever. At the end, they offered to bring us back to our hotel or a restaurant, and we asked for restaurant recommendations. Their recommendations ended up being phenomenal. It was the most relaxed experience while being one of the most carefree/fun. I seriously cannot put into words how much my family and I enjoyed this. I thought more people would have booked this! Cannot recommend enough. We started comparing every excursion to this one. They set a high standard.
