Even though we didn't have the best weather when we visited, Michael gave us a wonderful tour of Sicily! My mom mentioned something she wanted to bring home and Michael went out of his way to get it for her! And even after getting stuck in traffic, he made sure we got back to the cruise port in time! Definitely recommend!

The Gambino winery was great. Beautiful setting, welcoming staff, good wine and food. Enjoyed the visit to Taormina. Driver was personable, efficient, and prioritized the visits important to us. Our cruise ship docked at a different port than previously booked. The tour operator recognized this prior to the tour and adjusted the pickup to accommodate- much appreciated.

My husband and I registered for the Mt Etna tour as part of our honeymoon in Sicily. We were picked up at our hotel by Giovanni and drove from Taormina to Mt Etna. Giovanni was full of information about the towns were drove through along the way. We even stopped at a local church to take a peek an observe the use of different lava formations. The drive on the mountain was amazing. We literally were driving through very varied terrain and learned all about the different types of trees, fruits, nuts an lava formations that exist today. The views of the top of the mountain as well as the surrounding areas was incredible. Mt Etna is truly a wonder and I'm so glad we reserved the day for this trip. Lunch at a local restaurant was lovely. We had a 4 course meal plus espresso on a beautiful outdoor patio. I will note– the tour asks for any food allergies when you purchase the tickets. It may be a good idea to confirm that with the restaurant when you arrive for lunch as there was a miscommunication with the fact I am gluten free.

This was an amazing tour. We spent time at the lava pits at Mount Etna. There was a small square with shops where you could buy souvenirs made from lava rock. Next we went to the Gambino Winery. We were greeted with a glass of their white wine and beautiful views of the vineyard. Once inside we were treated to delicious food and wine pairings. We are now lifelong Gambino Winery customers. I would highly recommend this tour. Unfortunately, we did not make it to Taormina because we chose to spend so much time at the lava pits and winery. It worked out in our favor though as there was a political summit happening in Taormina while we were in Sicily. Our driver was friendly and happy to share information about Sicily and the sights we were seeing. Again, highly recommend this tour!
