What are people saying about Sicily

Bonnie_S, Aug 2026

Wow! Great trip not to be missed!

This tour was probably more than I thought. First, you have the beautiful scenery and roads. The two cities, where I should say towns clinging to hills, were both individual and beautiful. Our tour guide, Katia, was exceptional. She explained many things that we would’ve completely missed. It was an easy tour, so don’t be afraid to take it. There is some driving, but it went fast, especially with your eyes shut (lol). Great driver and very nice small bus. We really enjoyed this.

Tour Etna and Wine Tasting

Toni_D, Aug 2026

An Unforgettable Experience Enhanced by an Exceptional Guide!

From the very beginning, our guide Lucas set the tone for a fantastic day. First impressions count, and his were stellar. Lucas was exceptionally friendly, right on time, and very welcoming. Being part of a small group made the tour feel intimate and personalised. Lucas was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly loved what he did, sharing fascinating insights with genuine enthusiasm that brought the region to life. As for the sights, ‘Mamma Etna’ was wonderful, and the overall experience visiting the volcano was simply great. To top it all off, the lunch at Gambino Winery was a lovely experience. The winery is exceptionally well-run, offering delicious food and great wines paired with stunning views. While the breathtaking scenery made it special, the tour's success was mostly thanks to Lucas. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Etna and Taormina Tour from Messina

Kristin_B, Jul 2026

Great option to Cruise excursion

This tour was a great alternative to a similar, higher priced Cruise ship excursion. The directions to the tour office from the ship were confusing and our name was not on the list. However, when I showed by Viator ticket, they added us to the list. Carmelo was an excellent tour guide. He was very aware of the time and made sure we returned prior to our all aboard time. Carmelo shared lots of information about Sicily and the area around Mt. Etna. He also provided water and some treats during the ride. On the way to Etna, we stopped at a local honey farm where we could sample the products available for purchase and use the restroom. Carmelo also pointed out the best spot to take a photo of Etna in the distance. Once at the volcano we had about 1.5 hrs to explore the crater and get a snack. Next, we drove to Taormina and spent time walking along the main street. It is very touristy with lots of shops. Carmelo provided a map and also shared the best spots for street food and cannoli. We had a lovely day exploring these famous areas and would highly recommend this tour.

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

Robert_C, Jul 2026

‘This is a tour you can’t refuse!’

Although we were staying in Giardini Naxos, the tour company agreed to collect us from our hotel which was really helpful as other guests were travelling from Taormina. From start to finish, Carlos our guide was exceptional - friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. He always ensured we were comfortable walking in the heat and made life easier by cooling the mini van before we embarked on the next part of the tour. As fans of the Godfather Trilogy - we could not have asked for more. He intertwined personal anecdotes and interesting facts before arriving at the destinations which really brought the locations to life. This was all rounded off with a superb lunch with our small group which was a great way to end the experience. For those of you who are visiting Sicily for the first time it is also a great way to get insights on the culture and history of the area. Worth every penny!

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.

Gail_G, Jul 2026

Fantastic authentic experience!

This cooking class with Chef Mimmo was an unforgettable part of our trip to Italy. We had so much fun and genuinely learned a new skill - making fresh pasta. The meal our group created together was one of the best we had in our 2 1/2 weeks in Italy. We cooked, we laughed, we ate. What could be better?

Rosario provided a safe, smooth, and comfortable ride throughout the day, allowing us to relax and enjoy every stop. We had an amazing day exploring Sicily, enjoying delicious local food and wine, and shopping along the way. Pari’s knowledge and the excellent organization made the experience unforgettable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sicily. Thank you, Pari and Rosario, for such a wonderful day! Mimi Doug The Pug💗

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!

Palermo : Historic Center, Catacombs & Monreale CruiserCar Tour

MariaB_D, Jul 2026

The Best Way to Explore Palermo

My family of 9 members had two Cruise Cars take us around Palermo and Monreale! The Cruise Cars picked us up at our hotel. Each car had a driver, a guide and a cooler filled with ice cold drinks and snacks! The cars were also equipped with a speaker so we had our own music connected by blue tooth. The cars were new and spotless! It was the beginning of the hot summer days so we enjoyed the cool breeze as we drove around Palermo. We visited the Capuchin Catacombs then drove to Monreale to visit the most stunning Cathedral. The sun was directly above us so our guide pulled the cover of the cruise cars to make our drive back to Palermo a comfortable one. All in all, this experience made our first day in Palermo an unforgettable experience! My family is grateful to our wonderful drivers who drove us safely and comfortably and to our guides who welcomed us warmly and gave us so much needed information about Palermo! We felt their pride and love for Palermo! Highly recommended for family, friends, couples even solo travelers!

Claudio was amazing! ...

Claudio was amazing! My fiancé and I went out on a private tour and loved it. Multiple stops for swimming, toasting a glass of local prosecco or wine, and wonderful chats about local spots to eat and cultures. We would both highly recommend him as a tour guide if you are looking for a personable guide to show you the sights and a good time!
