What are people saying about Taormina

Mike_F, Oct 2026

Worthwhile

We are 68 and in good health. The hike was only 1.5 hrs and not difficult. You don't go anywhere close to the summit/crater, staying in the low area. Daniele was our guide, who was extremely informative, humorous and kind. The tour was a total of 6 hrs，including lunch at a vineyard, which was quite good. I would have preferred if the hike was a bit longer.

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 and Wine an experience between nature and aromas with taste.

Dawn_M, Oct 2026

I had a wonderful time....

I had a wonderful time. It is cold on the mountain, bring a jacket and wear pants. Alex, the tour guide, was the best we could've asked for. He knows EVERYTHING. The description doesn't say much about the wine tasting. They provide a ton of food and drink. It is totally worth it! Everyone in the group was fantastic!

Directions to Meeting Place Incorrect

The meeting place is INCORRECT we had to walk a half a mile and still couldn’t find out where we were supposed to be the person I talked to on the phone was not much help by some stroke of luck, another person on the person on the tour saw us looking confused and brought us to meeting place The cooking class itself, was a wonderful and delicious experience

Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

lisa_r, Oct 2026

worth the trip for sure

We really enjoyed the Etna part. We did opt for the additional charge for the cable car and truck at the top. Well worth it. Very interesting and we got some exercise. Be sure to take a coat- it is cold at the top. If you don't have it there is a rental with really nice coats for 5 euro. They are clean and very nice. Taormina- is lovely but get a ticket online ahead of time for the theater if you are touring. other than that- shop shop shop. Which I am not into.

Margarita_M, Sep 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!

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Vincent_T, Sep 2026

Great tour with Martino

I can't say enough about this tour. Martino, our tour guide, promptly arrived at our pick up point with water in the van. Driving in Sicily is really the wild west but Martino was continually asking if we were happy with his driving, which we were 100% of the time. He was very knowledgeable about Mt Etna and made several stops to show us special views and point out a buried village. He got us behind the scens at the winery with the owner. Martino was quick to pick up on our interests and pointed out a few details not on the itinerary. This was a great tour with am outstanding tour guide.

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!

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.

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.
