What are people saying about Taormina

Pizza Cooking Class

julie_s, Sep 2026

Excellent pizza & pasta making class

My husband and I participated in this activity while on a cruise that ported in Messina. It was a little tricky getting to the town of Taormina (train + bus ride) but we made it just in time for the start of the class! We were glad we did though because it was a very memorable experience. Good value for the money. Our instructor was very hands on, interactive, and entertaining. We had the opportunity to make both pizza and pasta and we were able to enjoy both of these dishes. The staff provided complimentary red and white wine, cheese, bread, limoncello, and a cannoli at the end of the meal. The staff even catered to another person in the group that had lactose intolerance. They encouraged cleanliness with frequent hand washing during the class which was appreciated. Would definitely recommend this to others!

Eynat_D, Sep 2026

Fun and Delicious

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Chef Mimmo's cooking class. The amount of participation was just right, we were hands on with all the dishes but didn't work too hard for the final results. The atmosphere was light with lots of humor. The meal at the end was delicious and acquainted us with the local specialties. Overall it was a whole lot of fun

Mount Etna Half-Day Small Group Tour from Taormina

KellyAnne_L, Sep 2026

Great tour, AMAZING guide

Daniele was an absolutely amazing guide. He’s incredibly smart and educated. We loved hearing about the different species/plants on etna. the tour ends with a sandwich which isn’t the best sandwich ever but does the job. I would recommend bringing a snack since the sandwich is at the end of the tour.

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.

Taormina and Isola Bella Day Tour with Boat Trip from Messina

Erika_Z, Sep 2026

So worth it! Will do again!

It was a perfect itinerary for cruisers and cost way less than the same tour from the cruise ship. There were no worries about getting back on time, and we were met right outside the cruise ship. We were able to take a boat and go swimming, saw fluorescent blue and green water in the grottos, and had prosecco and almond cookies. Toured Taormina and had delicious cannolis. Mariagracia was the perfect tour guide and was just awesome! Will do it again next year when we are on a different cruise but end up in Messina one more time! Can’t recommend it enough!

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

Karen_B, Sep 2026

An unforgettable Etna experience with an exceptional guide!

The Lady Etna tour was a fantastic way to experience both the natural beauty and history of Mount Etna, combined with a wonderful visit to the local Gambino Winery. Alex was one of the best guides we’ve ever come across. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Etna really brought the experience to life, and he made the tour both informative and engaging. The food and wine tasting at Gambino Winery was another highlight — fantastic local food, excellent wines, and a lovely atmosphere. The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed. Everything was extremely well organised, including a punctual pick-up and plenty of interesting information throughout the day. Highly recommended — a perfect combination of Etna, history, food, wine, and an outstanding guide!

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

Chris_W, Aug 2026

Best way to see Etna and learn about its history

Antonio made our day on Etna a truly memorable experience. Yes, it’s important to see the lava flows across the mountain and get a chance to hike through them. But from a granita stop, to a winery visit, to stops along the road to learn the smallest of details, we learned so much throughout the tour. He clearly loves what he does and that makes the best kind of guide. Throughout the tour, he was stopping to take pictures to send to us - plus did a drone shot in one area. Logistics were a breeze too. Despite booking last minute, he made sure we had clear instructions on how to meet our driver (Taormina isn’t conducive to easy navigation) and everything was taken care of each step of the way including protective equipment. I’d recommend this to almost anyone visiting. There were some kids and older travelers. This tour isn’t too grueling, but even if you want to do a hike to the top separately, thus is a good way to learn about the mountain before submitting and take in experiences from that are integral to Etna.

Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

Ryan_G, Aug 2026

10/10 day trip! (Salvo is the best guide EVER)

First off, our guide Salvo was absolute perfection! He was so welcoming, kept everyone’s safety priority #1, and made sure we all had the absolute best time while giving us awesome flexibility. A few helpful notes for future travelers: -Logistics: The meeting point was easy to find, and the tour company sent super helpful text and email updates leading up to it. -The Drive: The drive to Mt. Etna takes about an hour and gets very winding. If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely bring medication! I don't get motion sickness all that often and it was rough for me, even. -The Hike: We’re mid-30s and fairly fit, but the altitude hit us harder than expected, so we opted to sit out the main Mt. Etna hike (we heard it was pretty tough!). There were easier alternative options available, but we decided to take it easy due to the elevation. Even with the bumpy start, the rest of the day was magic. Lunch in a charming small town was a massive highlight with incredible views, amazing local tastings, and a fantastic little spot. Afterward, Taormina was gorgeous! It was a scorching day, so we spent a lot of time relaxing in the shade of the public gardens, but the coastal views, shopping, and sights were unreal. Despite the rough drive, this was a total 10/10 experience! Salvo was super knowledgeable, and we loved having the freedom to take photos and explore at our own pace.

A Great Way to Experience Taormina

We had such a lovely afternoon with Alessandro. He made the history of Taormina and life in Sicily really interesting, sharing lots of local knowledge that you simply wouldn’t get exploring on your own. The food was delicious, and we especially enjoyed learning about and tasting the local wines at one of the stops. Alessandro was engaging, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his hometown. It was relaxed, informative and a great way to experience the authentic flavours and history of Taormina. We’d definitely recommend this tour.

Must do in Taormina

We had Antonio as our guide and he was fantastic, from the beginning pick up to all the knowledge he had throughout the day. Gambino wines was a lovely wine tasting - very generous! And the beautiful lunch followed after was a perfect way to wrap up the day. If you are a wine fiend this is one to do!

Sea View Sicilian Cooking Class with Chef Mimmo

Debbie_D, Jul 2026

Great time!

Had a wonderful time! With the help of Chef, his mamma and trusty sous chefs, we made 2 pasta dishes and 1 amazing fish dish. While pasta dough was rising we were treated to tomatoes and mozzarella. Everyone was able to contribute - crushing tomatoes, picking basil off the stem, sautéing veggies. It was very hot- but thy gave us lots of beverages to cool down. We shared a nice meal outside with our new friends.
