I have mapped out through Rick Steve's my trip to Sicily visiting a number of cities and just curious vs the touristy things to see and do if anyone has suggestions / experiences that they would recommend to see or do....restaurants, cooking classes,
beaches, local tour guides. Looking for off the beaten path things to add to my list when visiting these 2 cities.

In 2019 while in Taormina my wife and I did Prestelli's "Godfather Private Tour of Savoca and Forza d'Agro" with lunch. Unlike my wife, I am not a big Godfather fan, but we both really enjoyed it thanks to the tour guide (Marco) and the lunch. It was a private tour for just the two of us.
