Lezione di pizza a Taormina - Da Messina

The staff of the tour company especially Claudio made this an amazing experience. Enjoyed doing something a little different. We were picked up from the ship and transported to a mountain town while explaining the history of Sicily as we drive through it. Claudio our guide walked with us through town giving us tips on where to go after our pizzas on our free time and was very interesting and funny. He made pizza with us and was there to help with any translations needed. Just a great trip!

The way we were all shown how to make a proper pizza indervidually and to eat the results at the end with a glass of wine or water ! A fun experience, which I will recommend.

We were picked up from our cruise ship by our 2 wonderful guides. Really friendly and knowledgable. First took us to Castelmola. This is a small village about 200m higher than Taormina. Fantastic views of the bay and Mount Etna. We then had a pizza making class in Taormina. We loved it. Basically you make your own lunch!! So much fun for adults and kids. The guides and chefs were fantastic. Just don't ask for pineapple on your pizza. Wine and soft drinks were included. We then had a coule of hours to see Taormina. Loads of restaaraunts bars and shops. We would def. go back here. Booking direct was a LOT cheaper than the cruise ship excursions.

Our tour picked us up at the port of Messina, right next to where our ship docked. Our guide, Sara, had a sign with our name as well as a few others so it was easy to find her. There was just the 2 of us for the pizza making tour so we shared a bus with others from our ship who were taking another tour from this company which was going to Taromia. It was very well organized. Sara was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Messina, Taromia and Sicily in general. She brought us to the restaurant where we met up with a few others who were also taking the cooking class. The chef was so nice and gave great directions. Everyone’s English was perfect and easy to understand. We all made bread, pasta, and pizza and ate it all over a few hours along with some other antipasti provided from the restaurant. It was a beautiful location with room to eat outside. It was a fantastic and very fun experience!

If we could give this 100 stars, we would! Discover Messina tours was amazing- Katia and Mariarita were absolutely wonderful. They were so organized and most importantly communicated. We are from US so understanding who we were meeting and where was so important. It was so easy to communicate and they were responsive to all my inquiries. They picked us up right at the cruise port and we were escorted to a private mini bus for a tour from Messina to Taormina. They were so sweet, funny and knowledgeable. When we got to Taormina, we went to the restaurant where we made bread, pasta and pizza. The chefs were fun and we were given attention and detailed instructions. We enjoyed the feast with some vino, some delicious cannolis, and had some time walking around after. It was my daughter’s 18th birthday and Discover Messina Tours detoured before bringing us back to port so they could give my daughter a birthday cake and celebrate with us. It was truly an AMAZING DAY from beginning to end. We would absolutely recommend this and recommend Discover Messina Tours.

We loved our tour including the drive from cruise port in a nice air conditioned van, time to explore Taormina and even get gelato. But we really loved our tour guide Tonia who was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and personable. Our pasta and master pizza teacher Giovanni was patient and shared his love of pizza and taught us how to make pizza the Sicilian way. This tour was a huge highlight for our whole family from grandparents to teenage children. Please take advantage of this opportunity to experience the incredible food, charming town of Taormina, and wonderful people that make it happen. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
