We had a wonderful...

We had a wonderful experience! The sunset was absolutely beautiful, and the crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome throughout the trip. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any dolphins, but that’s nature and not something anyone can control. We still really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Taormina!

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.

Both of these villages are incredibly beautiful, and our guide Sam (Samuel) made the experience over the top. Gino our driver also was amazing!

He was extraordinary in the explanations and history he gave us and our time spent in Sicily was so incredible because he was our tour guide! Definitely worth taking this tour! We had the best time!!!!!

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

Simon_S, Jul 2026

Excellent - very enjoyable

The trip overall was fantastic with an affable, knowledgeable guide who had excellent English. Bar Vitelli was covered in foliage that prevented any photos of the outside unless you entered and bought something or on the day we went unless you had a booking. One of the churches was undergoing renovations but it was great to see it and Savoca. The lunch was surprisingly good and the various stops on our journey were very much worthwhile. Even if you aren't a Godfather fan the trip may suit you as you see so much of the surrounding countryside and its villages. Our group of four gave an average mark of 9/10. Excellent

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

Frank_M, Jul 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 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.
