What are people saying about Sicily

Taormina and Castelmola Tour from Messina

Carole_F, Oct 2026

Great balance of tour & free time in superb destinations.

Elisa was an efficient & congenial guide on our shore excursion to Castelmola & Taormina in Oct ‘26. Good amount of local & historic information, easy pace, and plenty of free time to explore on one’s own. Water & a typical cookie was shared on the bus to our destination which was a nice addition.

Palermo : Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local Guide

John_A, Oct 2026

Enjoyable in depth guide to the must sees in Palermo.

Titania is a very experienced guide who knows Palermo and Sicily very well. She gave us a 3 hour walking tour of Palermo and we visited all the main sights in the centre. We knew we wouldn't have time to go into each one so we wanted to get an overall picture and ghen went back in our own time. Tatiana gave us lots of advice about where to eat and was happy to send us links to websites of other places to visit. She was even happy to give us advice via WhatsApp on the following day. Tatiana is a very easy guide to engage with and we would definitely recommend her service.

Taormina: Sicilian Street Food & Wine Tour by Do Eat Better

Christine_B, Oct 2026

Lovely walk with food and history

Our guide, Alessandro was knowledgable, personable and interesting. We were able to try local dishes in spite of the torrential downpour - luckily, our group had good humor about the rain! Also, our group was as curious about history and food as we were, which made for a lovely evening. I would have liked there to be a small meat or fish dish (we had arancini, antipasto with wine tasting, focaccia with toppings and a cannoli), but that is my only suggestion. Do pin on your map the arancini restaurant! We tried to find it again down the many side streets but could not (we did easily find the other restaurants)

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

Paul_B, Oct 2026

Exceptional tour of Mt. Etna and wine experience!

The morning with Alex on Mt. Etna was amazing; he is a faunt of knowledge, excellent English, and not just about Etna but volcanoes all over the world. It made for an incredible experience on the volcano. The afternoon wine tour at Gambino was excellent as well; generous pouring of wines, refills not question, and a very wonderful 4 course expected lunch. The entire visit was worth every penny and more!

Great tour!

Great food tour while learning about the beautiful city of Palermo! Annalisa was amazing and so knowledgeable. We were running late and she shared her location so we would catch up with the group, it was no problem. The food was delicious and I learned so much about their traditions. Highly recommend if you’re in Palermo! You will love it!

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

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.

A MUST do while in Taormina

This was our favorite day of our Sicily honeymoon. We got picked up from our air b and b by Johnny, who happened to be one of the sweetest people we have ever met. He told us the background of Etna and answered any questions we had. There was a group of 6 of us on the tour and he made sure we were all comfortable. After hiking Etna and then going in a really cool cave, we went to the winery. What an awesome experience. We were given 5 different wines to try and they refilled our glasses if we liked them. Lunch was delicious with meats and cheeses paired with different wine followed by sausage and potato wedges with other little sides. Outstanding. We ended up ordering a bunch of bottles to be shipped back home to the US. Do this excursion. You will not be disappointed!

Full Day Taormina and Castelmola Tour with Messina Shore Excursion

Cara_M, Oct 2026

Beautiful excursion in Sicily

This tour was great. We realized that tour groups with smaller vans can go all the way to the top at Castelmola but the big tour buses (those arranged by the cruise) cannot. Those people had to climb up the hill and were not happy. After about an hour drive to Castelmola we had time to explore the ruins and cute town. We then went to Taormina where the guide led us from gate to gate through the town. I had paid for a ticket to the amphitheater so the guide took us there while the others explored on their own. It was worth it! Then there was plenty of time to eat on our own, shop, and explore before it was time to leave. The guide was super sweet and knowledgeable and gave us a local cookie to sample on the bus. We got back to port well before ship departure.

Palermo Half Day Boat Tour with Palermo Experiences

Seth_B, Oct 2026

Beaches, Blue Water, and Boat Rides

This was the first boat tour i did with multiple groups. Enjoyed getting to meet new people, and the staff was great. From the knowledge of the area, the snacks and drinks, to the time out in the water. Only thing i missed was the "bring your own towels" disclaimer. Make sure you bring one with you!

John_T, Oct 2026

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!!

Etna Countryside Food & Wine Lovers Tour (Small Group or Private)

Tunde_N, Sept 2026

Perfect small-group Sicily experience for wine&food lovers

This tour was the highlight of our long weekend break on Sicily. Orazio was the perfect guide, telling us a lot of interesting things about the island, the language, the traditions, the connection between the people and the Etna during the drive. At the winery he handed us over to another guide who took us on a short walk along the vines and then into the cellar. Then came the tasting session - 3 lovely wines and incredible small plates to go with them, followed by a short drive to a restaurant where we were treated to more courses and more wines. Everything was delicious, we all had a great time - the perfect gastrotourism experience!
