The tour was very professionally managed. The van was very well air conditioned and comfortable. Our guides were very knowledgeable and fun. Castlemola was beautiful and just the right size. On a hot day it has shaded streets that make it comfortable. The winery was like a Napa style winery and right beneath Mt Etna. It was a super day!

Guilia and Claudia were beyond amazing! We were picked up even before our time and immediately got on the road to Castelmola, which may be the prettiest town we have visited in Italy. They even showed us the best bar on our whole trip!!! Then it was a private tour and lunch by the owner of Patria vineyards, which had the most amazing wine we have had on the trip. We even had karaoke on the way back to port. Wholeheartedly the best day of our trip!!!!
Nice information on the way with Sabrina and Claudia as driver. Enjoyable time throughout. Booked small group and got small van, but large groups wine tasting. Good vibes overall. Would your again.
What a great experience. Really exceptional. The driver was great and the guide…wow…shared a lot of pictures to explain what we were going to see. We were matched with another couple which was very awesome. Thank you Giuseppe!!!👏👍❣️
Pepe was amazing on our tour!! He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and really made the experience 10/10. My expectations were exceeded, very very happy with this experience!!
Claudia was a wonderful guide! We learned so much about Sicily. We enjoyed beautiful views, great food and wine. Thanks to Diego for driving!
My day in Sicily was absolutely wonderful and I truly feel like Claudia helped to make it memorable. Castelmola was charming and the winery near Etna had delicious food and wine. Thank you for a lovely day!
Absolutely top notch. Our guide Sara was super knowledgeable and friendly. Transportation was comfortable. Communication before and during the tour was great. The pace of the tour was fantastic. Never rushed but we saw the sites. They Personalized the tour for me as well. There was another couple on the tour but Sara asked our guide at the winery to show me the vines, as I really wanted to understand the unique aspects of the viticulture on Mt Etna. So I was able to see that and not inconvenience the other couple. The lunch was plentiful and delicious. Our driver Jakob was great and avoided accidents. I really felt like I got a good overview of Sicily and the culture, wines, food and traditions. The viewpoints we stopped at for photos were breathtaking. Driving back, we were all singing songs that we know from Italy and laughing. We had such a great time. I would not hesitate to recommend Discover Messina. When I return to Sicily, I will look them up again.
Pepe was our guide. He did a great job explaining everything to us and was very conscientious that we were pleased with all aspects of our tour. The winery tour was informative with five tasting wines and an amazing four course lunch.
Giocobba and Sara were great. We had a blast and saw so many things. We were singing Italian songs on the way back to the Port It was one of my favorite tours.
It was beautiful and our guide Peppe was excellent. He really took care of us and help us on the stairs like a true gentleman. I would recommend him 1000x over.....again and again. The winery was amazing
