5.0We had the best time on this tour! Our tour guide, Sara, was so friendly and so knowledgeable, I could listen to her talk for hours. We loved visiting Castelmola and Taormina. We even added a quick stop to see the astronomical clock in the town square which was really cool. She gave us a great tour of Taormina and even gave us a list of places/foods that we had to try while we were in Messina. I would 10000% book another tour with Sara again!
Loved it

4.0The tour was great and Sabrina was wonderful; however, we should have been notified that it’s raining in the area of Taormina and we would have brought our raincoats. Messina had sunny weather but as soon as we arrived in Castelmola instead of sightseeing we had to search for umbrellas (outrageously expensive of course) and ended up spending free time in a coffee shop since it was raining too hard. Communication about the weather would have been a no brainer and made the overall experience much more pleasant.
A Beautiful Day in Sicily

4.0Our guide, Sabrina, was very knowledgeable about the history of Sicity, which I found fascinating but some in our group felt it was information overload. We were very glad the tour included both Castelmola and Taormina. The contrast between the small village and the larger town. Both were beautiful and charming. Sicily is a unique experience from the rest of Italy. It would be great to explore the island further.
Great Taormina and Messina by great Guide Sara and driver
