    An enjoyable week exploring the wonders of Sicily!

    We really enjoyed this trip. It wasn’t too rushed. We met wonderful people on our tour and we enjoyed their company for the week. The tour enabled us to experience diverse places and activities within the group without being too rushed.

    10/10 - No Notes!

    This trip exceeded our expectations. Every aspect of the trip was well-coordinated and thoughtful. We had marvelous food (and a lot of it) and wine. The guides were super friendly & informative, and the logistics were flawless. There was a good balance between group activities and solo time that allowed us to explore on our own. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in a Sicilian food and wine.

    Sicily

    We did a wine and food tour. This was a very good tour. The tour operators did not let us down. Rather it was some of the contractors that provided a less than satisfactory experience. We had lunch in a beautiful fishing village on the water; remarkable setting, Food average, wine poor. Some guides were time poor and rushed to get to the next group. But it was still something I would repeat for the overall experience

    Great Adventure

    Our guides were mostly on time. They really knew the history of each event we went on. The most leisurely drive was with Marco. I will be using tour radar in the future.

    Amazing Fairytale - Small Group Food and Wine tour

    My husband and I with 3 other couples of our friend group went on a Sicily Food and Wine Small group tour, including pre- and post- extended stay organized by Massimo and Alex. It was a dream vacation, absolutely incredible fairytale experience. Massimo and Alex were very professional and flexible. Because we filled the van with 8 people, which is the max size for small groups, we customized it for our needs. In order to have less travelling and more relaxation, we replaced the last 2 days in Palermo with the 5-star gorgeous resort near Siracusa – Minareto. Massimo suggested it, and was the highlight of our trip, gorgeous seaside luxury resort with unbelievable views and service, and a private sand beach. During our tour, they were very flexible when we wanted to make small changes as well and always responded quickly. Communication with the team was ongoing and helpful! The hotels they included were perfect, and always very convenient central locations. The drivers and guides were ALWAYS on time or earlier. Most lunches were included, and they were arranged in small, beautiful places, with delicious food and wine, the table was always set before we even got there. The tour was perfectly organized for us to see a lot, yet to have a restful and totally amazing carefree experience. Our favorite guide, Antonio, was totally superb – fun, kind, social, professional and extremely knowledgeable! Couldn’t ask for a more awesome guide! Oratsio was also excellent. Overall the scenery was spectacular, and our trip was totally amazing ! We are now planning to go with them to Amalfi coast in the next year or so, and we would go to other locations with them if they organized similar tours with a perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxing. Thanks to Massimo and his team of knowledgeable, responsible and professional colleagues of Sicily Activities, we had a dream of a vacation, it was a fairytale!

    8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taormina.

    How much does 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,849 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taormina usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) take?

    +

    Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taormina is not rushed.

    Is 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Taormina, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests)?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests)?

    +

    Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taormina can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taormina and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taormina within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Taormina?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Taormina experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include COOKING CLASS in Taormina at Chef Massimo HOUSE!!, Sea View Sicilian Cooking Class & Taormina Market with Chef Mimmo, Mount Etna Half-Day Small Group Tour from Taormina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Taormina?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Taormina?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests)?

    +

    Included: TAORMINA LIFESTYLE GOURMET WALKING TOUR; Lunch; Hotel: 3 nights in Taormina, 2 nights in Syracuse, 2 nights in Palermo; Dinner; and PALERMO STREETFOOD TOUR. Not included: city tax to be paid in hotel; and Sgl room supplement (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Taormina.

    What languages is 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to 8 Days Small Group Food & Wine Tour of Sicily (Max 8 Guests) if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Taormina. Standard cancellation terms apply.
