What are people saying about Taormina

jane_b, Oct 2026

Massimo is very...

Massimo is very knowledgeable and has good English he told us lots about Sicilian cooking and what to watch out for in restaurants. The group was 16 we all got a chance to prepare parts of the three starters and two main courses. We had Prosecco before lunch and white and red wine withe meal I initially thought it was a bit pricey but was well worth the money. I would love to come to another class with massimo at a different time of year when other foods are in season. He checked for allergies and dietary restrictions. He lives down the hill from Taormina we walked down to casaisola. He arranged taxis for some of the other guests. His staff were pleasant also

Mt. Etna and Taormina village full day tour from Catania

Alice_S, Oct 2026

Great experience

This was a wonderful tour of Mt. Etna and Taormina. Simone was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the areas. He was great at keeping in touch with us via WhatsApp. He arranged a food tasting that was enjoyable. There were several options offered at Etna -- a hike around the lower part, ATVs, or cable car and bus to a guide who walked us around Etna for about 30 minutes. We also got to tour a lava cave. Taormina was lovely, but crowded. We didn't have much time there, but enough to get a sense of the city. Simone made the van ride interesting, as he had a lot of information to impart about Mt. Etna and Taormina. He also provided recommendations for things to do and restaurants to visit in Catania, which was a nice touch.

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!

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.

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.

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, Sept 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.

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.
