Syracuse and Ortygia by tuk-tuk 2-hour tour

This experience does not take place in a tourist kitchen, but in my private home in Palermo. It is not a show: it is real cuisine, with authentic recipes of Sicilian cuisine, local ingredients and the atmosphere of a royal family. For thirty years I worked in haute cuisine in different parts of the world, passing through the most prestigious starred restaurants. I was the Chef of National TV Shows (Rai 1) and author of two cookbooks. I chose to go back to the roots and open the doors of my home to those who want to experience Sicily, not just taste it. Every dish tells a story, every gesture has a value: here you cook, eat, talk, laugh. It is an experience that also nourishes memory. You will not find scripts or fiction, but spontaneity and warmth, just like at the home of a Sicilian friend. I'll teach you what you don't find in books: perfumes, slow tempos, dialect words, hands stained with dough. For a few hours, you will really immerse yourself in Sicilian culture.

Tina_K, Oct 2026

Unforgettable Excursion

I’ve been on many excursions and this was THE BEST EVER mainly because of the tour guide Gabriela and also the company she represents Discover Messina. Communication was excellent prior. Gabriela brought so much energy and knowledge to the excursion. Truly a memorable experience.

Messina Private excursion Taormina and Castelmola

Gwenn_D, Oct 2026

Beautiful Towns, Great Food, and an Amazing Guide

We had a wonderful day exploring Taormina and Castelmola on our private excursion from Messina! Our guide, Kim, made the drive along the beautiful coastline especially enjoyable with her local knowledge and interesting insights along the way. She made our trip so enjoyable! Both towns were beautiful to explore on foot, with charming streets, great shopping, and plenty of opportunities to take in the scenery. Kim also recommended a fantastic restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal and wine. We started the day with a fun stop for cannoli and ended it with gelato, the perfect sweet treats to round out a memorable excursion! We thoroughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Messina.

Good value for money and a fun time.

The guide, Oriana, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure of any dietary needs of the whole group and planned the tour accordingly. One of the group was vegetarian, one had a lactose intolerance, and she did everything to make sure everyone had a good sampling of local foods. We certainly got value for money and nobody left hungry. She gave us some good local tips along the way, also.

vjpieroni, Oct 2026

Outstanding!!

We had a fabulous tour of Messina with Marissa and her cousin. They made the entire day truly special, treating us to wonderful local goodies and delicious tastings along the way. Marissa’s knowledge, experience, and perfectly paced itinerary were far beyond our expectations. She also recommended a marvelous, off-the-beaten-path restaurant where locals dine—the food was absolutely exceptional. Her warm personality blossomed throughout the day, and we left feeling as though we had experienced Messina through the eyes of a friend. Anyone fortunate enough to tour with Marissa will not be disappointed. If we could give more than five stars, we certainly would!

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

Anne_E, Oct 2026

Alex was amazingly...

Alex was amazingly knowledgeable about volcanoes and we learned so much from him. He showed us the different types of lava flows and took us inside a snow cave where they used the snow to make ice in the old days. Afterwards we went to Gambino winery for a tasting. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable experience!

What a fabulous experience! We had the most wonderful day with Gianni & Luca. We also got very lucky with our group of fun & adventurous folk. The weather was terrible, wind, rain & cold but we still enjoyed every minute (well some were challenging). Our guides were patient, well informed and considerate of all of our differing levels of fitness and speed. The weather gods gave us moments of sunshine, rainbows and stunning views at times. It was just a feast for the eyes. The lunch and wine tasting was the icing on the cake. We had delicious food, amazing olive oil, fabulous wines all served by our attentive server Alessandro. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed and at a nice easy pace. Our drive back down to Taormina was hilarious with our wonderful guide ensuring we were back in one piece! It was truly an unforgettable experience that I would love to repeat in a heartbeat!

Fantastic ( more than just a ) food tour.

Learn a little about Sicilian history and culture whilst enjoying some of the best food spots in Taormina. Great group and our guide was excellent, effortlessly accommodating any dietary needs without fuss which was greatly appreciated. Fantastic introduction to Sicilian food and culture made even better thanks to the personal involvement of some of the owners and staff along the way.

Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

Alice_S, Oct 2026

Great experience

This was a wonderful tour of Mt. Etna and Taormina. Simone was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas. He was great at keeping in touch with us via WhatsApp. He arranged a food tasting that was enjoyable. There were several options offered at Etna -- a hike around the lower part, ATVs, or cable car and bus to a guide who walked us around Etna for about 30 minutes. We also got to tour a lava cave. Taormina was lovely, but crowded. We didn't have much time there, but enough to get a sense of the city. Simone made the van ride interesting, as he had a lot of information to impart about Mt. Etna and Taormina. He also provided recommendations for things to do and restaurants to visit in Catania, which was a nice touch.

Simon_T, Oct 2026

Amazing tour of Etna

An excellent experience with Alessandro. He was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about volcanos and Mount Etna and the local region. Tour started with delicious wine at a family vineyard on the slopes after a walk through the vines and the opportunity to see the locals at work picking and sorting the grapes. The tour up Mount Etna was really informative taking in historic lava flows, tunnels and breathtaking views, ending with a lovely lunch at a chalet restaurant near to the cable car to the volcano summit.

Don't Eat Beforehand!!

Extremely informative and well thought out tour!! DO NOT EAT any breakfast before you go to the 9:30 am tour!! Made that mistake! Our tour guide, Simona, provided insight into why foods are prepared the way they are and the origins of how they came to be! Very enjoyable and filling tour!!
