An unforgettable Etna experience with an exceptional guide!
The Lady Etna tour was a fantastic way to experience both the natural beauty and history of Mount Etna, combined with a wonderful visit to the local Gambino Winery.Alex was one of the best guides we’ve ever come across. His passion, enthusiasm, and knowledge of Etna really brought the experience to life, and he made the tour both informative and engaging.The food and wine tasting at Gambino Winery was another highlight — fantastic local food, excellent wines, and a lovely atmosphere. The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed.Everything was extremely well organised, including a punctual pick-up and plenty of interesting information throughout the day.Highly recommended — a perfect combination of Etna, history, food, wine, and an outstanding guide!

Do not even hesitate to take this tour- it was AMAZING ! Alessandro definitely takes pride he what he does and it shows. From our initial booking, with me sending him a barrage of texts with questions ( via WhatsApp ) he ALWAYS responded in a timely fashion. In addition coordinating our pick up times and drop off with the ships schedule was effortless. The tour itself was so informational and his knowledge down to every last detail was fantastic. Got to see and do a lot of things on this magnificent tour !

A different view of Etna!!!
A different view of Etna, very broad, even more so if you enjoy the world of wine, since it has a stop full of surprises. Our view of the volcanoes is now different, more complete. Especially thanks to Alexandro, the head guide. He shares his experiences with passion and makes everything veeeery enjoyable. Recommended without a doubt. We went as a family with our daughters aged 8 and 13.

Highly Recommended for couples & Families
We had a wonderful experience with Sicily Best Tour on the Private Godfather and Taormina Tour. Sofie, our guide, and Francesco, our driver, were absolutely amazing ,professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive throughout the entire day.We were traveling as a family with our 10-month-old baby, and they made everything incredibly easy and comfortable for us. The luxury van was spacious and comfortable, and most importantly, they allowed us to enjoy the tour at our own pace.Sofie and Francesco truly made the experience special. Everything was well organized, relaxed, and personalized to our family’s needs.We highly recommend Sicily Best Tour, especially for families looking for a comfortable and private way to discover the Godfather locations and beautiful Taormina. Thank you, Sofie and Francesco, for such a memorable day in Sicily!

OMG - must do !!! Best experience in Sicily
We walked off the ship into a small local section to meet with Cesarina. Cesarina meet us at the meeting point and took us into the local outdoor market to pick out the fresh vegetables to use to cook for the day. We then were transported to her home high in the hills overlooking the sea. From there we had espresso and chatted, learned about what we were going to cook and eat. From that point we began prepping the vegetables, making fresh dough for the fresh past, making the sauce and doing it all while having a blast. We got to meet Cesarina’s family and began to really feel right at home and it was just wonderful. From there we finished the cooking and ate while having wine and chatting. Then we had homemade cannoli’s which were delicious. After all that we got transported back to an option of locations to shop or sight see before getting back on our ship. I must say this is a unique experience that is not to be missed and we’re so grateful for this and what Cesarina is doing. An amazing must do and unforgettable time we will be thinking about for many years. 11 out of 10 experience , do this you’ll say it was a highlight of your trip. Thank You Cesarina !!

Best day ever!
We had just the best day with Filippo and Erika. Filippo was an excellent driver and Erika gave us lots of information and accommodated every request we had. She was delightful! From the lovely farm where we got some delicious home grown olive oil and honey to climbing Mt Etna and those speculator views to experiencing beautiful Taormina, it was a wonderful day. 23 yr old Nate said it was the best vacation day he’s ever had. Thank you to them!

Filippo is an outstanding professional, polite, reliable and truly helpful. Within the framework of the Erasmus program, he arranged our transfer from Catania Airport to Messina smoothly and efficiently. We also booked a tour with him to Mount Etna, Taormina and Savoca, which was an excellent experience. He was always punctual, friendly and very informative, making sure everything was well organized and enjoyable. I highly recommend his services.

Messina, Sicily
Discover Messina did a great job today. The 10 passenger van was comfortable, Carmelo has a good command of English and his map demo of the day with botanical, geologic, and volcanic descriptions were spot on including his personal photos. He offered free cookies and water (feed them, they'll follow), appropriate cautions, a local wine and honey stop and left us with a great impression of this terrific island.

Skip the town - do the full Etna AWD experience!
I'm glad we decided to do the full AWD experience (and skip Taormina). The drive from the cruise port in Messina to the northern base camp of Mt. Etna was almost 2 hours long. After transferring to a special off-road bus, it took us about 45 minutes (including a stop midway to get off and view a lateral crater) to get to the 2,850 m top (not the highest point on Etna and not near the active craters) where the observatory is also located. After spending time admiring the desolate beauty of the area, we drove back down and again stopped midway to hike to a lateral crater. The ride is bumpy - like riding a bucking bull or a broken roller coaster - but it was part of the fun! We had a volcanologist along the ride but we also had our tour operator driver, Andrea, and guide, Carmelo, with us who were very nice and accommodating. We got back to our ship with 1.5 hrs to spare.
