Outstanding!! Exceeded All Expectations! - This was the most perfect day in Sicily and by far our favorite experience of our entire cruise!! The vans are wonderfully air conditioned, there's plenty of water, and you can even charge your phone in the van as they have accessible charging ports! Onto the experience: Taormina was STUNNING. An absolute MUST when you dock in Messina! We only had 45 minutes so we got to see all the wonderful pieces of Taormina, however did not get to explore the Greek Theatre so be mindful of that. We did have the most incredible gelato I've ever had in Taormina, though so definitely enjoy some during your visit. Our tour guide, Carmelo was so wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us such great information on our trip to Taormina and the Etna winery. Also, the winery is fabulous! Not only do you sample 6 different wines, but the staff will give you a refill upon request. We bought three bottles! AND with every wine you taste, you get a culinary experience with it! The lunch ALONE was worth the money of this experience. We got to relax, enjoy Sicily, and returned on-time with no rush back to our cruise ship. This was a 12/10 experience and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. My only feedback is maybe allowing more time in Taormina because it was such a stunning destination.

Great excursion company & guide! - Our ship had a last-minute change with its port and Discover Messina handled it flawlessly. Pepe, our guide, was awesome! We really enjoyed this excursion and highly recommend it.

Excellent! - My husband, my mother and I were on a NCL cruise and this was an excellent excursion!! We had originally booked a similar shorter tour with this company which was cancelled. Communication was very good and we were changed to this tour. I was concerned about the walking portion of the tour for my mother but was reassured that this was optional. Our tour guide, Andrea, went above and beyond to accommodate my mother's needs. He sat and had breakfast with her in Taormina while my husband and I walked the town. At the winery Andrea brought the van around to the cellar and drove my mother to the tasting room so that she could avoid the stairs. Andrea was excellent as a tour guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the history of Messina and was great to talk to in general. His driving made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this company and this tour. I liked the small group size of the tour and we were picked up right at the port. The winery was beautiful, we enjoyed lunch and the good wine. We brought home a couple bottles, but if you want more the winery has shipping service.

They changed our tour but still had a good time! - We actually were switched from this tour to one going to Caselmora and Taormina with lunch because not enough people signed up for this tour on our given day. I say this to have an idea of an alternate tour they offer in case the group doesn’t have enough people. I thought they would go ahead with the people who did book but I understand why they canceled. Nevertheless, had a great time!

Unique & Magical experience - This was by far more than expected. Guisepee & Alesandra were both AMAZING! Very detailed with so much information & pictures. The winery was beautiful. A little dissapointed that the grapes werent in season, but just another excuse to go back. Highly recommend.

Cruise excursion in Tuscany - Alex was a wonderful, kind and efficient guide for our cruise excursion in Tuscany. We were able to see Pisa before the crowds were took thick and then when we finished our time in Florence a little early he took us through the little Venice of Livorno, it was a great surprise to see a spot we had not heard of. We enjoyed seeing all that we had on our wish list in one quick day! Thank you!

Day tour of Messina Sicily? - Awsome tour guide ( Sara Lisciotto). Perfect tour of Sicily with plenty of free time. She was personable and so knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

Beautiful place & winery great - This was a great tour with Andrea. She pointed out where to get the best food and Taormina is beautiful. The winery was fabulous- great food and wine. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again.

Taormina and Mt Etna Wine - exceptional! - We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our guide, Giuseppe, and driver, Andre, were excellent! They were friendly, informative, funny, and very helpful. We had a small group and traveled comfortably in a minivan. In Taormina, we arrived ahead of the crowds and Giuseppe offered to show us the bakery he liked for cannolis. They were huge and delicious. From there we went to the Patria winery for a tour, samples and lunch. At the winery, Alto, explained the winery's history, their processes and everything we sampled. This tour was well worth it!

Places I never knew I needed to go - We had a great trip!!!!!! Katia was our guide and was wonderful!I recommend this tour! It is a lot of driving in one day though.
