Ivor_C, Jul 2026

A brilliant way to discover Taormina!

A lovely way to explore Taormina. Over the course of the three hours we learnt a huge amount about this beautiful town and of course sampled the local food and drink at four spots - all of which we would not have discovered ourselves. Our guide Mariella was great fun and a constant source of local knowledge. Overall a five star way to discover Toarmina and to have a taste of it's culinary delights. Give it a go!

Great for people who enjoy nature and some hiking

Very fun experience. Our guide was amazing and really took us to some great views and interesting spots. Very knowledgeable and I loved his explanations about how the rocks and craters form. The lava tunnel was super cool too. Definitely worth a trip!

The Godfather tour Sicily

Snezana_S, Jul 2026

Definitely worth the money.

We had a wonderful tour of Savoca and Forza d’Agrò. The evening before, Marcello contacted us via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting point, and the next morning we were picked up directly from our hotel and dropped off at the same place afterwards. Marcello was an excellent guide and brought the tour to life with his colorful storytelling. If you’ve forgotten some scenes from The Godfather, he will gladly refresh your memory and show you exactly where each scene was filmed. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the movie and made the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. Definitely worth the money — highly recommended!

Taormina and Isola Bella Day Tour with Boat Trip from Messina

The tour representative...

The tour representative was right outside the dock when we walked off the cruise ship. She pointed us in the direction of our guide, Andrea. He was very knowledgeable about Sicily and especially about Taormina, where we spent most of our time. The boat ride was fun and everyone enjoyed the time swimming to cool off. The local cookies Andrea served us with some Prosecco were a treat as well. We also had two hours to roam around the beautiful town of Taormina and had a delicious lunch at a restaurant Andrea recommended.

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

Simon_S, Jul 2026

Excellent - very enjoyable

The trip overall was fantastic with an affable, knowledgeable guide who had excellent English. Bar Vitelli was covered in foliage that prevented any photos of the outside unless you entered and bought something or on the day we went unless you had a booking. One of the churches was undergoing renovations but it was great to see it and Savoca. The lunch was surprisingly good and the various stops on our journey were very much worthwhile. Even if you aren't a Godfather fan the trip may suit you as you see so much of the surrounding countryside and its villages. Our group of four gave an average mark of 9/10. Excellent

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.

Private 6-Hour Tour of Three Etna Wineries with food&wine tasting

James_B, Jun 2026

Great day

This experience was excellent, great way to spend a day if you are taking a trip to Taormina. This is a great way to see the eastern side of Mt. Etna. The three vineyards were all great and each one had a different energy and story. Our driver was great and had a lot of interesting information about the mountain. The tour is a whole day but it was a good mix of speaking with the driver and vineyard guides and then also having time with your group to enjoy the wine, food and views.

Antonio made this experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we were picked up, he shared a beautiful narrative of Sicily’s history, culture, and landscape on the drive to Palmento Costanzo. The vineyard itself was stunning and impeccably maintained, and the wine tasting was excellent, paired with a delicious selection of cheeses. We ended the day with an authentic local lunch featuring an abundance of appetizers, pasta, and more wine. Antonio was truly exceptional. Highly, highly recommend.

Etna Tour and Lunch in a Winery with Wine Tasting

Susan_F, Jun 2026

Great Experience, filled with surprises!

We had an unforgettable day exploring Mount Etna and visiting the Gambino Winery. Our guide, Martino, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about his land, its history, and the unique culture of the Etna region. His enthusiasm made every stop more meaningful, from the volcanic landscapes to the vineyards thriving in Etna’s fertile volcanic soil. The stop at the honey farm was a great experience, arriving just before the tour groups, making us feel like it was a private tour! The winery visit was a highlight, with excellent wines, delicious local food, and fascinating insights into the winemaking traditions of the area. Martino came through again, he took us to a private part of the vineyard that was quiet and very romantic. On our way back, we stopped at the Chestnut of One Hundred Horses, and then proceeded on our way, only to be surprised again by a gift of delicious Italian cookies.! If you’re looking for an authentic Sicilian experience, I highly recommend this tour, and Martino. Thank you, Martino for sharing your passion and making our visit so memorable!

We had an amazing time on this sailing tour! Emilio was a fantastic host—friendly, informative, and made the whole experience great. They took us to a few different bays where we swam, snorkeled, and paddle boarded. After swimming, we were rewarded with wine, bread, cheese, pears, and other snacks. Everything was well organized and we highly recommend this tour overall if you’re looking for a fun mix of activity and relaxing on the water!
