    With the time allocated, this tour felt rushed so I would have just done Taormina and not Castelmola. Tour was very informational and guide was very knowledgeable. Both towns were very nice and driver was great also

  • A lovely day out, really glad we joined!

    The views were amazing, and the little streets in Castelmola had such a cozy vibe. Linda was super friendly and gave us just enough info without overloading us.
